My sister (an adult) is constantly obsessed and worried about her health. She will pass out at doctors office and cannot even see a gynecologist without becoming very ill. She consumed with thought about possibly having cancer (which isn't really warranted) She doesn't take madeicine that she doesn't need or anything like a hypocondriac, or thinks she has diseases that she doesn't have, she'll just worry like crazy about it. She just finally saw a psychiatrist/psychologist who wants to prescribe her something for it, but she's scared that it will affect her in a bad way. I can't remember what the med. is though. Have any of you experienced this and have been put on medicine to help you be less obsessive? Here doctor also told her to take Benadryl to calm herself down today. If you have any experience or advice that might her her with this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
