Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I'll give him a call and see if he can recommend a big city neurologist.
I know I'm approaching the 'elderly' category med wise, but actually I've always been super sensitive to meds.--2.5 mg of Paxil worked for a decade to stave of anxiety. So 12.5 mg of Zoloft is not quite as crazy as it sounds. And Serzone seemed like a good option as it helps with sleep, which has always been a problem.
I'm not very good at all this negotiating with doctors--although I live in the USA now, I grew up with the NHS in the UK, where the doctor was God plus have the whole stiff upper lip going on.
So perhaps some of this is a communication issue. Anyway, unless things get sig. worse, I'll just go to my own family doctor. At least I won't be spending days being furious at having thrown my money away.
