In reply to Called the Doc, what a MISTAKE!!! All docs Same???, posted by mattw84 on September 3, 2004, at 22:06:09
> I called the doc this afternoon, to fill her in on the what's happened scene, and instantly was rambling off a list of varius medications. Then asks me if I have any preference! I want the pretty sounding one that rhymes well; I don't want a list I want some personally advice!! Anyone else here feel like there doc just sorta takes a stab in the dark in terms of meds to put you on? That past 8 months have been the first time in my life that I have ever taken any daily meds, and in 8 months I have some how worked my way up to 4 different meds?!?! This seems crazy, should I really trust the doc with this sort of impersonal prognosis and prescription stuff? Anyways, here's the ever-growing list as of yet:
>
> 3x10mg Adderall
> 1x300mg Wellbutrin XL
> -- and now --
> 2x0.5mg Alprazolam
> 1x20mg Paroxetine
>
> I haven't taken any of these yet, but can it really be safe to take so many different meds? Sounds like mixing random household crap together, just asking for trouble. I have seen a few really med smart posters on here, maybe someone could tell me if this is even safe? Thanks!

> MattMatt, did your doc mean for you to take the Paxil instead of the wellbutrin? As opposed to in addition to it? I believe Paxil is prescribed for social anxiety.
