Meds don’t work for me...

[MRawPR]

Well, the day of my monthly appointment with my Psychiatrist is here. I wrote a couple of questions for him so I won’t forget. The issue with this Dr is that he’s always in a rush... hello, Prescrption, goodbye. For goodness sake... stop and look at me and ask me how I’ve been... smile and make me feel cared for. Sorry (had to get that off my chest)... I have generalized anxiety and panic attack syndrome. No depression thank goodness. He keeps giving me antidepressants to “balance” and taking them worsens my attacks. I’ve explained to him and I’ve been given all of them. THEY DO NOT HELP!!! Xanax is the only thing that has worked to control the intense panic attacks. I don’t feel I’m addicted but I depend on it to make me be a functional and productive person in the midst of an attack. I read an article about Trazadone. It’s supposed to help with depression and anxiety and insomnia related with both dep and anx. Anyone taking trazadone... inputs??? I will ask my Doc today about considering this as an alternative medication. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP.
