I am sure my wife has worries she doesn't burden me with, but even on meds I am not as well adjusted as she is. She went to the doc to get her bone density results and instead ended up with her removing a mole from her face two days before she leaves the US for vacation. She did this despite the appt. that was made to a specialist. I went with her on Wednesday to size up the doc and didn't say much as I didn't want her to get defensive. Of course the cut was infected and she said "I might have to send
you to a cosmetic surgeon." What the hell?
she also forgot to sign her prescription for antibiotics.
I guess I wouldn't have had such a problem if she would have explained to her why she gave her the lexapro. My wife had no clue what she received. I just don't think AD's are for PMS like moodiness, IF it is transient. The doctor never asked her the typical questions about depression tht even the makers of zoloft provide. Personally, after meeting the doc she is a flake with the attention span of a gnat. Her office was decorated like a antique shop too. The biggest mistake I have made was going to this doc instead of sending my wife to a high school buddy of mine who is a doctor, and highly respected. I just thought it might be weird to have a high school friend as my wifes doc. But, I should have let her make that decision. Again, the right doc is so important. I guess I just expect more for how much they get paid. Thanks for the responses it has helped me sort it out.
