In reply to Med seeking, legal issues., posted by jbs on December 16, 2003, at 21:36:19

I understand the concern, have actually had a family member addicted to a drug in benzo catagory. i remember- it wasnt pretty. but i didnt understand why there was a problem period, as i am a grown woman with no history of med seeking, abuse or anything simuliar. i have had one dr. act weird to me about this and it was quite a surprise to see her go from sympathetic to suspicious. i really think her views were a little slanted to begin, as she wanted to prescribe me a ssri that would make me gain weight. i am a personal trainer and have recently recovered from exercise bulimia-which at the time i didnt realize i even had because i didnt have anorexia or overeating. but i was exercising a crazy amount, ( self medication is what dr. said it was-crazy 12 mile jogs and hours in gym.)
i have finally gotten over this and it is so central to my gad, ocd that i want to keep it subsided. i am too scared to take a med that will make me gain weight. and my dr. thinks my fears are unrealistic because i am healthy weight and look normal. also i did not want "long term treatment" she wanted me to get on med. for a long time but i am too young in my opinion, (want to get married and reproduce soon!!) i understand some ppl take meds their whole life but i dont want to. that is another reason for the ssri avoidance. i feel like i know what i need and maybe i dont~
