Sister Rags and Sunrise, I appreciate your responses.

I am trying to gather enough written documentation from my T and other MDs to have most of the answers for history in my files before our session. I really would like to be able to try a medication to reduce anxiety so that I can improve my therapy and in conjunction relieve my depression. My MD said that she is not comfortable prescribing anything but up to 20 mg Lexapro, and that is not working for me. I also know that I can't take beta blockers because I take Beta-agonists for my asthma. In your opinion, do you think a Pdoc will prescribe anything for the anxiety at the initial session?
