> They will try you on every med the drug companies want them to... Why not? FREE VACATIONS. So beware... because these meds are not appropriate for everything even though they'd like to say so ($$$$$!) I struggled for 10 years through trial after trial of SSRI's, Welbutrin, Serzone, Lexapro, you name it. If it was name brand and expensive, then I was put on it. My main issue is social anxiety... Welbutrin for social anxiety?? Nope. None of it. Just be careful out there and don't be afraid to question your doc. They aren't always in it for your well-being... Take Care All.
Having been married to a doctor and I've also always worked in medical facilities.....listen closely to the "Beware of Drug Docs". I'm amazed at what some of my friends have been given over the years! ALWAYS QUESTION YOUR MEDICAL CARE PROVIDER....HE/SHE PUTS THEIR PANTS ON ONE LEG AT A TIME AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO HAVE HELP WITH THAT! p.s. my husband was never given a trip or anything by the sales reps...he is a surgeon..but many of our friends take 3/4 trips a year courtesy drug companies.....
