My T actually talked me in to going to see a psychiatrist for anxiety meds and I've been on them for nearly a year. She knew I was very anti-med after a previous experience, so my T waited nearly 3 years to even mention it and once she did, it got me thinking and we talked about it for quite a few sessions before I was willing to even talk to the pdoc.

About 10 years ago, I asked my GP about something for anxiety. She prescribed an SSRI which was not helpful. As her specialty was not psychiatric medication, she didn't give me many options and just went with the most common prescription and dosage and didn't really work with me to find something that would be very effective.

My pdoc has worked with me over the past year to find the best medication at the best dose to handle my anxiety and it was so totally worth it!
