				What type of doctor do you receive your meds from,   a family doctor or a psychiatrist, or som other specialist?  Just wondering.  I have gone to family doctors and have not been satisfied with the results.  Since a psychiatrist specializes in these issues, he/she may have a better idea what will work.  What have your experiences been?

				I went to my regular Dr and she did prescribe Xanax.  I then went to a Psychiatrist and she prescribed something better and diagnosed with GAD.  My regular Dr didn't ask all of the same questions a Psychiatrist will.  I think, for me, the best thing was going to a Psychiatrist.

				Most GP's don't have either the training or experience to adequately treat mental illness.  I go to a Nurse Practiconer specializing in psy.

				Sorry, my forethoughts were behind me.  Once you have an adequate drug program, your GP can write you the scripts.
