Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety
hello, my name is shawn, i have been suffering with depression and anxiety the past year and a half of my life. I am dealing with problems with family, a constant 45 hour work schedule and many other issues, i have seen endless psychologists and psychiatrists and have been prescribed sertraline, xanax, and ativan. Im happy to say that these drugs are helping. My doctor however has just retired and I m having problems finding a new psychiatrist. Everyone else who i go and see says that they think i should talk about my problems and i am, however i can t just stop taking the sertraline and when my anxiety attacks come i have serious problems breathing and severe pressure in my chest. I don t know what to do. and i can t continue to afford these endless medical bills... how can you help me?
