My regular doc prescribes the meds for me and she confers with my psychologist as needed. Does your shrink not believe in taking meds or is she unable to prescribe?

foot - she is unable to prescribe. I am ok with that for right now. I had such a bad reaction to it, I am going to try unmedicated first and see how that goes. I need to get a new PCP in this part of town before they can confer.
It didn't seem like she was against it at all. She was appalled at the last experience I had though - that the doctor was unavailable for help when needed. Also that she prescribed it after one visit and was only going to be seeing me once a month

That is crazy... but, the local hospital has a psychiatrist on staff who sees a person once a year for med eval. Had. They just got rid of that position. Unless you have mad loot, it is almost impossible to find a psychiatrist. It seems that the job of prescribing psych meds has been pushed onto PCPs.

Only it's been that way for a very long time. My physician first prescribed my meds for me ~20 years ago. Nice try, though.

Might as well go batshit insane, and let someone else deal with it.
That's my plan. But, only after I'm broke. Ain't nobody spending my money on that shit.

It's been a while - I figured I would update. I saw the dr for a while - until I could not drive. It was really helpful to have someone to vent to and not feel judged. I actually ended up breaking up with the guy I was seeing, too. We're still friendly, but more like text friends if anything. I haven't been back since I've been able to drive. It is like I hit the deadline, finally, which relieved a lot of the stress and anxiety I was feeling.
I still have some stress, but it's at a normal level and nothing I can't handle. I'm sure I could go back if I needed to, but I don't really feel like I do. There is some depression that I deal with that seems to be hormonally related, but I need to talk to my gyno about that one. There may not be anything I can do, though. Birth control makes it worse and more constant. Anyways - thanks for all the help you gave me earlier this year

I'm not a gyno, or play one on TV, but I'd be glad to take a look for you.

Stress definitely fucks with your hormones.

Clod - thanks Sometimes I have to remember how good I am compared to before. It's a good thing
Bruce - I think I'll leave this one to the professionals - lol foot - my hormones are already fucked, sadly :/ But, at least I have a dr that understands and is willing to try different things.

That's the best news, a doc that will work with you.
