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? |
If your anxiety is disrupting your life, you need to make that clear to your pdoc.
He may want to put you on a benzo, to help you deal with your anxiety.
For me, I needed to address my anxiety, in order for my therapy to be beneficial.
I think it depends on the pdoc, mine has no problem prescribing a benzo.
