well went to a GP today to try some differnt meds as ive been using effexor, and i suggested i might like to try paxil which is said to have be good with anxiety as well as depression, to which my doc replied whats that? and i said google it....now its australia and its not sold here under that trade name but i thought everyone would atleast have heard of it before?....and then she surprised me again when she had no idea that psychiatrists actually perscribe types of stimulants for anxiety...she said "like what amphetamines!?" ....i said of course not....no there its stimulants made to treat anxiety...."like what"....sorry i can't recal the name, i said.......she then mentioned a particular benzo...i said no its not a benzo...she had no clue. its like she assumed i was a hard drug user and just wanted another fix or somthing...should i see a different doc?...i know i need to see a psych to get on the right meds but you still need to see a gp first to get reffered. i told her i'm sure i'm suffering from avpd...and she said sarcastically "ohh are you know" like i was making somthing up....i said look i know its seems stupid me sitting here telling you what i have having self diagnosed myself, but i've been to many a GP and told them my symptoms and all i get perscribed is anti-depression SSRI drugs. she was more understanding after that comment and i got somewhere, but i didn't need the sarcasim in the first place.
