It doesn't sound like the anxiety is controlled either if this is so difficult to discuss. (Believe me I understand, all doctors terrify me). If you've already had 4 unsuccessful meds from your GP, I'd get a pdoc. If you know one you're willing to see just make an appointment without telling your GP, otherwise E-mail your GP to ask for a referral, or if he doesn't do E-mail, write down exactly what you want to say and read off the message to his office answering machine in the middle of the night. Then when you get to the pdoc, have everything you want to say written down in advance. Good luck. (And remember, no doctor can read your mind, since you clearly want to try Emsam despite the many bad effects reported here, tell the pdoc that, the worst he can say is no, and then you can decide whether to go with whatever he/she does want or look for another pdoc.)
