I recieved a referral for a psychiatrist today from my sons councelor at school. I know to get the ball rolling that I have to make the phone call but why does it have to be so damn hard? My primary doctor wants a full psychiatric evaluation and the crisis worker that I met with wants me to transition off the paxil to another SSRI. That scares the hell out of me because of the withdrawl symptoms. Even if I only miss one dose the effects are bad enough that I would swear that I was dying.

After reading some of the posts I wonder if my own problem is actually significant enough to bother anyone else with. I guess I have to look at it now as it is a fact that I have PTSD ,no matter how significant or insignificant I feel my trauma was.
