10 Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Don't forget to ask your doctor these vital medication questions

First some background: I have been depressed again for a month or so following a bad anxiety attack due to pressure of paying off credit card debt and general financial problems.

 

I have been taking Depakote and Celexa for about 6 months now (usually I experience mild chronic depression).  I have found it helped some.  However, now that I am feeling bad, it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference.  I did increase my dosage of Celexa but no difference.

 

I have a doctor's appt. this afternoon.  I will discuss this with her.  The thing is, with my recent financial difficulties, I really don't want to pay for more medicines.  I can get the generic for Celexa which is only $10 a month on my copay.  However, newer non-generic drugs cost more on my copay.

 

I do want to feel better but I am just rethinking the idea of medication altogether.  I don't know yet what my doc will suggest but of course I like to stress about things beforehand.
