Myself, I'm not able to get a second opinion due to finances but I do plan on talking to my primary doctor next week. I know that the Pdoc didn't have my therapy records as I sought the Pdoc on my own and never provided the name of the therapist until I met with the Pdoc. This is part of what bothered me. I also feel that having a dx will make it easier to talk/explain to my family.

Special_k, thank you for the suggestion of bringing up hypomania I am definitely going to do that when I go back.

RazelJenny, I have looked up all the meds and there aren't any interactions. However, I am concerned about weight gain when taking Paxil. I can ill afford to gain any more weight. When I am depressed I eat everything in site and during the past year I gained over 35 lbs.

Rhapsody, I totally agree with you. I keep thinking about filling out medical forms or responding to questions when seeing a new doctor. Certainly when learning of the meds I am taking I would be asked why they were prescribed.
