Hi,
Can your GP's office advise you on services in your area? After all, they are saying they can no longer treat you for your condition.

When I lost my insurance I went to my GP as his rates were cheaper. After having done my research, I asked him if he would put me on Nardil. He agreed. I've been on Nardil 75 mg for twelve weeks now. I told him it was not working yet. He told me I need to see a psychiatrist as being a family dr MAOI's and social phobia is not really his realm of expertise.

What I need is what my GP recommended- to go back to a psychiatrist to treat my SP. But I don't have any insurance so I need to find a resource that works on a sliding fee scale or offers free services.
