Well your doctor seems like a jerk! You should def see another one. You said you have panic attacks and bpd? Is that bipolar? Anyway, you should def go see another doctor, preferably a specialist. If you go to a psychiatrist you will be better off bc they are better with suiting you with the right medication. This doc you went to seems shisty. Anyhow, CBT would def help you as well, so maybe you can do combination of both and I think that would give you great results. I did CBT and it gave me a lot more confidence in dealing with my anxiety. Good luck hun!!

Please see another dr, your anxiety needs treatment right now!

You definitely should see another doctor! A psychiatrist would be ideal since he's an MD and specializes in psychological disorders.

can you still get diazepam?
eventually a psychiatrist would be helpful but usually theres a long wait for the first appointment

hey hun. ive just been diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder leading to depression. I'm trying some A.D's.. "Aropax", but I honestly think we just have to stay positive until we can trust ourselves. But also, definitely change doctors because they are a big help in getting better (having the peace of mind available to you). I'm also on Diazepam and it does jack shit for me lol... my body fights through it. So what I do is put on some relaxing music (like Enya's soundtrack, something of the sort), and repeat to myself "Find harmony and peace. You will be okay. Trust yourself to be okay.". Because you know what, we are all stronger than we know. We just need some reminding someitmes ;)

I think you should see another doctor. It may be hard to find the right meds but you will. It takes time. Maybe see a physciatrist also cause they know more about meds.

Hi Marie. I would definitely see another doc, a psychiatrist. Make sure you outline what medications you've taken, especially the ones that were recently discontinued. I looked at your profile. This doc's books may provide helpful info for your PCOS condition.. www.herplace.com
