I don't know what I'll end up doing. It probably is a better decision to go back to see my doctor, if only for one last time. At least that would bring a little closure to my medical merry-go-round, instead of giving up by myself.
Of course I will once again tell him that my medication is not helping, but from there I don't know what I will do.
I could ask for my old regime back... which would come with a sense of desperation, distress, pain, and sadness... while questioning his authority and decisions by clearly requesting something that has been turned down twice.
I could ask to go off the medication, without going on another, because it isn't helping. There's no need to prolong this ineffective treatment. It's almost demeaning for me to continue with it.
I guess it's nice that I had quite a few months when my anxiety was be fairly effectively treated. That's only a few months out of my whole life, but at least I experienced it. I'll go back to my old ways.
I do hope this doesn't leave me with panic attacks. I've never had a full-blown one and the thought scares me.
