It is good that you dont' want to give up. My cocktails have mainly consisted of Paxil, Luvox, and Xanax. I thought at one point I had licked the anxiety. I detoxed myself from Xanax, was off for a few weeks, then a doctor prescribed Valium instead. I was shocked because I was hoping for a different anti-depressant. I don't like having to carry my pill bottle around. I think all of us that have this in common feel that way at one time or another.
I had a psychiatrist at detox tell me that I was going to be on an anti-depressant for the rest of my life - maybe, but I didn't like hearing that. I wonder if he just wants the kickbacks.
It is hard to find a doctor that isn't cocky and really cares about the patients. I had one good one for about 5 years and missed a few appointments. He wouldn't see me anymore. That stunk because forgetting stuff was part of the problem.
Concentration isn't my best quality.Wade
