Anxiety over a forum anyone?

[ComeDayGoDay]

I have a similar situation. After having a baby (and reluctantly, albeit necessary, getting off all medication during pregnancy), I went to a new doctor to start up my schedule of meds again. This included antidepressants, anti-anxiety, ADD and insomnia. It worked well for me as a whole. The new doctor wanted to start me on tiny doses of the antidepressants and refused to even consider to put me on the other meds. Even though I told her it is what I was prescribed for years before the pregnancy. It worked well. So, I just went along with her. After a couple months of upping the dosage, she "allowed" me to be put on ADD medication which helps with the side effects of the antidepressant. It was still a very low dose. She said all the meds were "addictive". Well....sure! But, I am fine and function BETTER on them. I am a better mother, wife and friend on them. We all know what a PITA it is to change doctors so I'm hanging in there a bit longer, but I am thinking about switching. But, starting over with new doctors is so hard and time consuming. I feel like I was a guinea pig and she wanted to be the one to find the cure of alllllllll my problems. She didn't like me telling her I had a solution that worked, that I just needed her to prescribe what I wanted. That's where this site has come in and helped, I took matters into my own hands. I take what I need when, because I know my body the best. It's so frustrating. Yes, doctors are so scared of their licenses being revoked. I think so often it's not about the care of the patient any longer. I kind of thought that some doctors get kick backs from pharmaceutical companies to prescribe meds all willy-nilly (yes, I just said that! ) but, I'm starting to think that docs are getting nervous to prescribe things that are potentially addictive more and more.

I understand the social anxiety. Sometimes I have leaving my house, sometimes I hate taking my kids to playdates because I have to talk to other people, I have telephone anxiety, I hate answering the phone because I stress out about not knowing what to say...I even have forum anxiety too because I don't know what to write...it's easier to hide behind a computer though, that's for sure.

Sorry for any typos, my kids are screaming at me to feed them! haha!
