I have to agree, find a new pdoc. You deserve to be treated with respect and care. I have had my fair share of doctors ask me which med I would like to try, and than write me a prescription for it. A good doctor wouldn't do that. And a good doctor should be concerned whether or not you will have seizures. And all SSRI's aren't the same, they all act differently. Some are activating/energizing while others cause sedation. If they were all the same, why would there be so many different types? And wouldn't we all have the same reaction from them? Sorry, your post touched a nerve with me, lol! I can't stand doctors like that, I figure I am paying good money to see you, and you have been through medical school, don't you have SOME knowledge of these meds and my condition? Okay, my vent is over. I would definately look into finding a new doctor. The good thing is there are many other SSRI's that you can try. It's basically trial and error to a point, but a good doctor should be able to make a proper recommendation. Good luck to you!
