Medication for Panic Attacks GAD Posted: 07-29-08 21:30pm
I'm at a complete loss at this point. I
was diagnosed in 1994 with panic
disorder(GAD) agoraphobia and major
depressive disorder and saw a psychiatrist
for several years. Originally I took 4- 5
mg of xanax, prozac then zoloft(among many
other anti depressants). After a while
when my symptoms were under control and I
lost my insurance I opted to go to my
family doctor who had no problem
prescribing the medication I needed. I'm
only taking xanax .5mg 3 times daily at
this point.
I recently moved to a town near Ft. Worth,
TX. I was seeing a family practitioner
for about six months here who all of the
sudden decided he was unable to prescribe
the medication because my condition was
chronic and I needed to see a
psychiatrist. I went to MHMR which is
Mental Health for low income people, but
they were unable to help me because I am
not suicidal or bipolar or schizophrenic.
They referred me to the local hospital
indigent program who told me today they do
not deal with mental health issues and had
no idea who could help me.
I am working, but I can not even afford
food for my 14 month old son and myself.
I have been struggling just to get to and
from work and I need some advice on who
can help me. My anxiety is getting worse
and my depression is back with a vengence.
Please help. I don't know where else to
turn.
Thank you.
