I appreciate that this may be difficult due to your social anxiety.I've seen three different psychiatrists now and it seems like none of them will agree or listen to me, so I think it's mostly me and not them and I just feel like that. It's so hard to ask for something. Maybe I should bring some print outs of Parnate information to show I've researched it. I even say it worked on my brother when he's never had it to avoid actually trying to convince her.
