The receptionist was wonderful and very supportive. She insisted right from the very beginning that I needed to be punctual. The doctor was very cool towards me on the initial visits but warmed up. My experience was that he knew everything and that he knew immediately what was my problem regarding my lack of sleep. He would not listen when I told him that I was not depressed but he insisted on prescribing me a medication for depression which made my situation worse. When I went to see him again he prescribed another medication. This made the situation even worse. When I took this medication to my pharmacist, she took it away from me immediately and told me that it was the wrong medication for me and this was a very bad drug. She advised me to wean myself off the depression medication slowly and we worked out a plan. Unfortunately, I went away for a week and I left this drug at home. the whole week I was unable to sleep as my body could not relax. Upon my return home I did not resume taking this drug and I started experiencing the withdrawal symptoms of "pins and needles". This experience has persisted for over 5 weeks now. I am fortunate that I have others in the healing profession
that are helping me cope. I would insist on checking with a pharmacist any medications that he prescribed and have a clear understanding of the pros and cons as well as the health consequences of this drug.
