The pdoc appointment yesterday was moderately successful. She kept repeating that I'm "looking for a magic pill" to stop the anxiety/panic. I hate when they say that; I'm not so stupid. I am able to intuit the difference between physical panic and "thought" anxiety. I believe they say we can control our symptoms because they don't have a good answer. She's a CBT/DBT fanatic. So is my therapist. Thus far, I find CBT only moderately helpful...it is not magic for me.
Anyway, the pdoc raised my Zoloft dose to 150mg and added hydroxizine (Visterol). We'll see...
Oh- she absolutely refuses to prescribe a low dose of a typical (older) antipsychotic. She insists they inevitably cause tardive dyskenesia. Like the others, she likes the typical (newer) AP's - they don't seem to care in the least about the weight gain that causes dangerous physical illnesses.
