I go to a therapist, who can't prescribe meds. Thus, my regular doctor does all of the prescribing for her. However - she's the type of person that hates medicine. She wants me to fix my overwhelming anxiety and depression with yoga and meditation (Which do *not* work for me. Trust me. I've tried them many times.). I'm on 45 mg of BuSpar daily and on .. well, whatever one pill of Trazadone is for sleep problems. I felt like I was getting better for awhile, and then I plateaued (I *know* I spelled that one wrong :P) for a little while, but now I feel like I'm holding on by my fingernails and sliding backwards anyway. Therapy isn't working very well at the moment and I'd sort of like to try to increase my medication (Doesn't BuSpar only work for depression at higher doses?) - but I don't know how to convince her or my mother! Should I even approach her about increasing or do you guys have any advice? I'm feeling increasingly depressed and feeling not-so-inclined to living (Not gonna do anything about it. I just don't feel like this is life, which makes me *more* depressed). PLEASE help!
