my t supports me using meds although he is a psychotherapist, not a pdoc. i do see a pdoc at my t's behest. my t isn't gung-ho about meds, but after seeing me for a while he encourages me to try them because i clearly need them.

idk. i found that xanax was helpful for a period of time as i was trying to get my emotions back under control. i did dbt (and am doing it again as a refresher) and once i got through dbt and internalized the skills, i didn't need xanax as much and haven't taken it in quite a few years.

it does seem like she's a little hurried with the meds. you could always get a second opinion and you don't have to take anything you don't want to. i have an open dialogue with my pdoc and i know it drives him crazy sometimes, but i really push for as much info as possible.
