fear of taking new medication--phobia name?

Question

because I have Asperger's syndrome, every time I keep having to take new medication my doctor perscribes to me, I keep calling him to ask for my medication dosage to stay the same. But every time I feel as though something is wrong with me, I blame my medication and then demand some type of change. Do you think this is a type of phobia I'm having, and if so, would you say it's called a drug phobia? If not, what would you say this is?

Answer 1

The phobia of taking drugs or medicine is pharmacophobia. People react differently to things but the general accepted definition of a phobia is, "excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject" and that "when the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made."

I'm not a doctor or a psychologist but it seems like you just dislike your medicine to the extent that you're willing to use it as a scapegoat whenever something goes wrong. I wouldn't call that a phobia.. more of a preference.

Answer 2

you're overworking and could drain your self. yet is this because you like your artwork or because you don't be attentive to what you're able to do with a while in case you took an afternoon without work? Sounds as in case your physician is treating you for stress and/or melancholy. flow returned to her and ask her to refer you to a counsellor. Make an appointment for early one afternoon. close the shop, flow to be sure the counsellor and take something of the afternoon off to take a seat back and view the way you sense. After that, start up with a nil.5 day without work each and each week and flow from there. sturdy success
