> He told me to increase the zoloft and get rid of the clomipramine. The zoloft did nill for my physical anxiety. I told him this but he said that was because it was such a low dose. They have such faith in these darn drugs that noting seems to budge their oppinion that sometimes they don't work. I was an absolute zombie on 100mg, no good sleep at night, half asleep during the day.

There was just no oportunity to say anything. How can I get an accurate assesmnet when he is just asking the questions in such a way that he gets the answer he wants to hear.

I am so sorry. I understand how you feel. My apptointments make me feel the same way. Rushed, unconcerned, don't really give a crap. Just sit down, listen to him, and get out.
I guess you didn't tell him you had already stopped the clomipramine? Can you start going to a GP, tell him you just can't drive 2 1/2 hours to see a pdoc and ask him to prescribe for you?
Again, I am truly sorry about your experience. I wish I could help.
