Thank you KB and Mair...
I'm not so much into mixing things up. I will talk to my family doctor on Tuesday and just be brutally honest and explain the entire situation and my feelings and get her input. That's what I'll do...and you are right, he's a med doctor, not a talk therapist, I'll find a new one that I don't have to see every three weeks just for refills. And $185 every three weeks. I think he's abusing my situation. Don't psychiatrists generally give you several refills without having to go back?
I don't feel like he's working with me, I feel like ... well, like he isn't listening at all, even when I DO get to say something.
I hate feeling like this, like I'm "not responding" to drug therapy, because some of the symptoms DO go away (except with Celexa it got much worse) and then I feel like such an ass for needing a xanax refill, I feel like it makes me a person who is suspicious in some way. I am SICK of being fat, sick of having nightmares, all I want to do is be ABLE to lose weight and to sleep through the night and occasionally take a xanax if I have a panic attack. Is that so much to ask?
Not asking for a miracle cure pill, I'm not afraid of "doing the work" or whatever. I just could do without the mean doctor.
:(
Thanks...thanks for responding...
