My psychiatrist wants to put me on an antipsychotic forgeneral anxiety. He prescribed previously generic Effexor for depression He just increased it from 75 mg per day to 150 mg. IOW twice what I was taking.
Now he wants to put me on Loxitane. sp? I never experienced any audio or visual hallucination. I don't suffer delusions. No other shrink or any other doctor ever diagnosed me with schizophrenia. IMHO I think he should of prescribed an antianxiety med. I'm thinking he is prescribing a much too strong med for simple anxiety. I know you don't know me except through this forum but I am able to function. I go to my drs. appts. I write a blog. I do my artwork. IMO its like using a sledgehammer to burst a balloon.
I'm seeking a 2nd professional opinion. If this is not enough info please let me know. Thank you.
