I went to the "psychiatrist" yesterday with a bad
attack of anxiety and depression. I had been recommended by someone else to take Buspar. He said that it's a benzodiazepine and therefore addictive. I told him he was wrong. I said I took Xanax and that was a benzo. He had to look that up in his book. I said I also take Celexa. His reply was "yes, but have you tried a SSRI?". I said it WAS a SSRI. He said the only pill he might consider for short term treatment of anxiety was 70mg Prozac per day. Presumably all in one dose. Sure to make anyone anxious I should think. I think he was mixed up with OCD.He then lectured me on fierce dogs, fight and flight, relaxation and CBT. That there was no pill for my symptoms and never would be.
Has anyone else come across such ignorance? Do you reckon I should report him?
