BRAVO! I wrote a similar but shorter letter to my previous family doctor, though I didn't send it! I applaud you for having the balls to send yours!!

"your theory of "stress", my symptoms include: extreme fatigue, as well as
excessive daytime sleepiness; feeling too cold or too hot, sometimes coming
in waves; lack of concentration; my mind feeling foggy and slow; inability
to speak coherently (stumbling over my words) or remember what I am saying
(forgetting or becoming confused mid sentence); becoming easily distracted;"

Your symptoms are all similar to mine (I have muscle pain.) I'm starting to have some success with Effexor, but unfortunately this is at at "non-stress" level. I'm not able to work or function normally at home.

In my opinion you should change to a doctor who does believe in involving the patient. I found a new doctor (first practice) who doesn't have a problem with this. My anxiety level has decreased significantly. I agree with RZip in that you should find one good care-provider. For myself this involved seeing a psychologist, I'm from a one shrink town and he's the "crazy" one, and my family doctor.

PS I didn't see a great improvement on the effexor until about four months, though I immediately had some response. I know this doesn't help when you want an immediate cure, but honestly I don't think you'll find one. Get your family doctor to write you a health dismissal for the time you had your exams, he doesn't need to clarify why! This will probably help with some of the anxiety. Talk to a school official concerning your future concerns. You probably have laws that will protect you and someone at the school schould be able to direct you.
If you do a quick search on the internet you may be able to find these yourself.

BEST WISHES
