Best would be an open-minded psychiatrist, especially one that specializes in anxiety disorders.. At the very least, how about showing your doctor the articles I provided links for in the post to Mat -- especially the first two articles.

> RickHi, Rick. I don't think I will be able to change doctors. I just began to see this one, and he is actually not so bad. I think he is just being cautious since he doesn't know me very well. My husband has been seeing him for years, and speaks very highly of him. He even got me into see him, which was no easy task since we are on State insurance, and his office's policy has changed since my husband began to see him. I had to get referalls and all that BS. Also, since I am on state, my options for docs are very limited. You should have seen the doc I had before this one....damn, he was SCARY!! *L* So it's either this doc or back to the snake pit...the docs people go to because they are on state and can't get anything else. But believe me, if I could get into to see a doc that specialized in anxiety disorders on my insurance I would go in a minute. Anyways, I will read those articles and print them out, probably won't be able to show them to my doc...again, since I am on state, I have to be in "med group"...doc goes around the room, writes out scripts, I only get a few minutes to speak with him. Don't get me wrong though, I'm very lucky to have any insurance at all! Lots of people don't, and it's not right. I am sure the articles will be very helpful to me...thanx, and thanks for the help!
