Yeah, which is why I'm surprised it's not discussed. I've been taking Lunesta for 1 yr and Xanax for months! Maybe he's thinking it, but not actually saying it. He knows I didn't like ADs in the past. I suppose there isn't necessarily a need for him to look at me a say I'm depressed, esp. since the symptoms are being treated (or attempted to be), just not w/ADs. Obviously he's aware that nobody likes to be labelled as such.
It also hasn't helped that I began treatment with his PA, then had to see him 6 months later. A lot had gone on w/ diagnosis and treatment of uncontrolled insomnia, anxiety, depression, ADHD. Not a terribly stable year.
So the initial relationship involving all these problems was not built with him, who I hadn't seen in a couple of years. Now I plan to stay w/ him since continuity is best, plus my PA can't presribe Xanax himself and that just gets a little messy. I'm sure he's more comfortable turning me over to the doc who takes responsibility for controlled drugs.
