I went to see a pdoc for the first time several months ago, and she immediately prescribed me Depakote for my anxiety. Kinda threw me off a bit, as my anxiety isn't constant, nor do I have any real signs of mood swings or anything like bipolar etc. Anyway, I followed her instructions and went back a few weeks later and still had no effects. So she upped the dose and added seroquel. By this time, I started to regain the weight I had lost once I started my thyroid meds. Not happy. I trucked through it for another 2 months or so, but I wasn't feeling anything and I wasn't too happy with the pdoc for other reasons. We don't 'click', we butt heads and we don't get along. I'm searching for a new one.
I accidentally started taking myself off my meds when my mom forgot to refill my prescription for like 3 days. That disrupted my routine enough so I forgot to take them once I did get them again...and I just haven't taken them since. No side effects, no withdrawls, nothing. Just guilt- because I haven't told my T. She hasn't asked, but I feel bad about not mentioning it. I'm sensitive, and I dont like to disappoint people.
I'm thinking about just waiting until I get a new pdoc, telling them and then seeing what they think I should do. I dont really believe I need to be on antipsychotics for moderate anxiety that's entirely enviromental. I could use something to help lessen the effects in the moment, but I'm also in therapy to help with it.

I dunno why I wrote this. I just needed to kinda get it off my chest I guess. Wondering if anyone else has done this, what I should do, etc.
