Anxiety meds

[Tamuiel]

Has any1 had success with medication. My anxiety is bad because my kids are gone with their mom for a week. My doctor has never offered any meds.

Medications have worked for me. They have ups and downs like dose wise. Some may work and others may not but dont let that worry you. I would recommend go seeing a med doctor sorry I cant think of the term of it. I would recommend some medication but I dont know if that is allowed.
Anyways keep going take it day by day you got this!

I'm pretty sure you can keep your doctor and see someone else. I've heard of people doing that. Maybe someone else may have ideas. Do you have a counselor? Sometimes they can help. You could also ask about meeting with a psychiatrist because they specialize in medications

Of course I love to try to help when I can

Oh and why are you surprised insurance hasn't dropped you?

Maybe i need a counsler. Since they cant find anything wrong.

I think that would be a good place to start because they can monitor you more regularly and while they probably won't specialize in meds, they can help get a bigger picture sense of what's going on

 

[Tamuiel]

Will insurance cover a counslor?

 

[AbejaReina]

I mean I would think so. I have just state insurance and mine is covered. If you call your insurance they can let you know. Or you could choose a local counselor and ask them if they take your insurance

K.thanks

See a psychiatrist. They will get you on the right meds. My GP prescribes mine but I know sometimes they are not best suited to manage psychological meds.

By the way, most counselors accept insurance but make sure you check. Go on your insurance website and see who is in network.

You need to see a psychiatrist they can prescribe you something for anxiety

Your regular doctor can prescribe anxiety medication as I'm sure they run into patients with this wicked malady all the time. Even if you meet with the nurse or physician's assistant, just tell them you'd like some medication to help you with your symptoms.
