Re: How do I get GP to consider other meds?

I don't know if the reason no one gives me anything other than an SSRI is because I don't seem very disordered. I don't abuse substances, I don't have run ins with the law etc. I'm a pretty "good" kid. A big part of the problem however, is that part of the reason why I don't get into any trouble in the first place is because I don't have any friends and I'm scared of interacting with people.

I feel extremely bad frequently and want to do anything to make it go away or at least be able to control it. It is next to impossible to "think healthy thoughts" when I'm in such a state.

Before I do anything stupid like kill myself, I would really like to have at least tried something other than an SSRI. IMO the risks of the meds don't outweight the possible harm of my dysphoria. Now, the problem is, how in the world do I get something like Tegretol or a low dose neuroleptic to at least try out? Do I print out info from the net? I don't think that would be very convincing.

Also, I'm not very fond of the GP my family sees. Can I get useful help from a walk-in clinic?? Seeing a pdoc is pretty much out of the question for me now...it would take a referral and many months of waiting. I need help!
