All the Drs I have been to are reluctant to prescribe anything for anxiety and I am getting very frustrated with this. I am 32 years old I have never had any issues with drug or alcohol addictions I may have been legitimately drunk a dozen times in my whole life. My mother suffered from the same psychological symptoms and she was treated with Zoloft and Clonazepam. I am currently taking 100mg Zoloft, birth control pills and OTC prilosec. I don't think I would take anxiety meds every day if I had them but it would really nice to know that I had something that I could take if I was caught in the grips of panic or irrational thinking. I understand that the drugs have a risk of dependence but I feel that I have a legitimate medical issues and that it needs to be treated medically. My current Dr gave me a month of ativan after I was having panic attacks when my grandmother passed away but let me know right up front that he would not be comfortable giving me any refills. He suggested that I get more exercise. I am not saying that is bad advice but I feel that I have an illness that is being left untreated and I am upset.
