It's not a bad idea for me to do some tests, especially a genetic one that can help me figure out which medication will work better. I have an effective general practitioner, but she is not at all knowledgeable about psychiatric drugs. I tried bringing it up with her, but she insisted I need to go see a specialist. She's also new to the office so she just gave me a list of three docs the practice recommends and none of them were good.

I have had anxiety and depression for over two decades and it began with PTSD. I've had my blood tested, MRIs, CTs, but ultimately it's been attributed to the initial traumatic episode.

I might not need meds, but my problem is that I have been on a medication for several years. It seemed to work at first, maybe even the first year, but it's slowly stopped. I worry that it might be a cause of my problems getting worse. I'm afraid to go off of it myself and want somebody knowledgeable who can tell me the reason I've been getting worse, help me get off this medication and figure out if I need a new medication or some other treatment.
