My new doctor has prescribed navane. I'm not too sure how this one works any experiences ?
The bad doctor part comes from being in a "meeting" with him and he asks what should he treat my sz or anxiety he wouldnt help both. He then asks should he just send me to therapy for coping skills for the symptoms of sz and medicinally treat the anxiety or vice versa. I'm not understanding why he couldnt treat both medicinally and allow me to therapy treatment as well. I'm confused with him this can't be good practice.

It is a very reasonable question.
While his approach seems unusual, it might be that he is trying to empower you by giving you choices in your treatment, rather than dictating them to you. So don't write him off yet.
Ask direct questions. If you aren't satisfied with the answers, politely rephrase them and ask again. He is there to serve you.
I should ask why ,, I will definitely do that. I will try and stick with it until I figure out if its an unusual approach or just bad practice. I will give him another chance
Thanks guys
