Genuinely surprised not to see this higher . Risk has taken me on some rollercoasters . <| sep |> I have that privilege with my psychiatrist . The moment we started talking about medication he told me that really nobody in the field knows what works and what doesn ' t not . He told me that each drug we will try will be just an experiment till we find the one which works . Before if got rid of my panic attacks i switched benzos every week till i found one which works . Later i decided which SSRI he should prescribe me . That approach also improves any placebo which comes with any medication . If I ' m thinking Lexapro is the best based on online research and he prescribes Prozac i ' m going to notice any small side effect and downplay any benefits i could get from it if i myself don ' t believe that ' s the right choice . Most of the docs are people like you and me , you just have to find one which isn ' t stuck up .
