I forget if I mentioned it, but my ex's psychiatrist swears up and down that almost all the psych docs are on SSRIs. These drugs aren't supposed to do anything for people who are "normal"... but for some time now they've been "tweaking" with responses of thse drugs.
Very interesting!
I strongly considered pills for my anxiety, but switching insurance providers in the middle of all of this (I was forced to due to change of jobs) landed me with a big fat rider on my insurance agreement that essentially excludes them from covering me for anything depresion/neurological disease/nervous system disorder-related. Its such a wide statement that I could probably break a toe and they could come up with a reason to not pay for it.
The phone interview for the new insurance contract started at the top of my head and went all the way to my feet and they asked me about everything inbetween. When I told them I visited a cardiologist and was diagnosed as physically healthy, they were pleased. I passed my stress test, ultrasound, etc, and so they have no problem insuring me for heart problems. But I was forced to explain why I ended up at the cardiologist in the first place. Damn.
I ended up taking some samples of a Beta Blocker, which proved enough to get my heart calm. When the heart would calm down, I would calm down, and the vicious cycle would slow down.
