Thanks Snapper for understanding.
I'm stuck with the pdoc for now, only place that accepts my insurance.
I did argue with him which is really not in my nature.
Told him he didn't have a clue what it was like to have a panic attack or be so anxiety ridden you're bouncin off walls or what that little pill means to me.
I'm done with SSRI's.
Gave them all due course over the last 10 years.
The last being lexapro in which I had a manic reaction and found myself on a locked psych ward, first time for that.
Interesting was that the pdoc there did my history and couldn't believe the crappy care I had gotten.
He put me on a hell of a cocktail.
Gabitil, Lamictal, Concerta & Restoril.
When I got out of the hospital I went back to my pdoc and he was furious and told me to stop taking that combo, scared the hell outta me telling me about nasty side effects, damage to the liver, some fatal skin disease.
We agreed on the ativan and now he's being an ass again.
I'm glad I found this place, like to get Dr, Bob's opinion.
