Hi I'm new here & hoping for some extra support coping with many issues. After 3 1/2 years with no insurance I finally have coverage again so I'm working really hard to get back on track. I've been seeing a tdoc weekly for about 2 months-I was diagnosed with OCD, anxiety, depression, PTSD several years ago & have had terrible insomnia for about 20 years. Previously when I had coverage I was supposed to be evaluated for mood disorder (possible Bipolar I) but my insurance ended before that could happen. My current tdoc was able to get me a referral to a pdoc cause he thinks I have Bipolar I as well. Saw the pdoc last Monday for the first time & she blew off my mood issues & is focusing on my anxiety & OCD-will see her again in a couple of weeks so my tdoc is going to try & help me get her to acknowledge my probable mood disorder-my regular doc had started me on Paxil 3 months ago-have taken Zoloft, Trazadone, Nortriptyline, Ambien & Restoril in the past. New pdoc is taking me off the Paxil & starting Prozac. She also started me on a low dose of Propranolol twice a day for anxiety. I am also taking Ambien a couple of times a week to get a break from the insomnia. Anyway I'm happy I found this forum.
