hello everyone ! i have been diagnosed with GAD, my doctor had me on paxil and lexapro i stopped taking bc i didnt like how it made me feel. i'm switching doctors this week and i dont kno how to go about sayin i have gad or what should i do? its a new patient appointment and i dont know what to do??? help!
Well I’m assuming when you made your appt you would have to have told them what it was for already, no? If not, the Dr will just ask you when they come in, what’s up basically and why are you here. And that’s when you will simply say I have GAD, I’m wondering my options to feel better etc.
- On a separate note, have you tried seeing a therapist for your GAD? I found meds did not do much for me, seeing a therapist (one who specialized in anxiety) was a lot more helpful for me.
