I would not go back to any doctor who gave me a diagnosis, and hands me pills without an explanation in 5 minutes.

My GP appointments for the flu are longer than that, because I'm actually being examined!

That being said, I was diagnosed pretty quickly by my first pdoc, but I came in armed with a journal, spoke in depth about how symptoms first manifested 10 years prior and filled out a questionaire. He also took the time to explain to me exactly why the dx fit me and what it means. Not only that, he didn't try to push the dx on me as I sat there with my jaw dropped to the floor in disbelief, instead he suggested I chart my moods and have a full physical to eliminate any physical illnesses and in so doing give his swift dx more credibility.

The point of this ramble?

Even if your pdoc is clairvoyant, and she didn't need you to tell her what's wrong, a good doctor would take the time to listen and explain.

Even my last quack of GP atleast explained what was wrong with me and why I needed the meds he gave me before he sent me on my way.

Anywayyyy, its completely up to you if you want use the seroquel for your anxiety, but I would not trust her, and would definitly be seeking out a new pdoc.
