I have very few resources monetarily... so it took a LOT of convincing, and actually many years of suffering, before I finally worked up to ask my Dr. for an antidepressant. I did therapy, they wanted to give me pills, but I always refused it thinking I would work my way through my problems.
Now I'm 32 and I've given up working my way through. I have stopped making any improvement, and I think I'm up to the fact that I'm biologically depressed...
I explained all this to my Dr. He started to write out a prescription for wellbutrin XL. He then handed me a questionaire "for the record" that was one of those dinky 10-question "Have you ever" types... I checked those that applied.
Seeing my answers, he said "You're bipolar".. & changed his mind, referred me to a psych that is way out of my budget and gave me nothing. I already spent $70 with this Dr. that I feel has been wasted...
What should I do? Can't afford the psych, nor anymore runaround. I need a solution that works.
