I suffer from anxiety/depression, ptsd from rape, and had a major depressive episode when I was pregnant. These have never come in conflict with my practice. Caring for others, fortunately, gets me out of my own head and I've never experienced panic attacks at work. I also had a script from a previous doc for PRN ativan which I used sparingly. When I went to a new doctor a while back and in a different town and requested that I resume my regimen of prozac and PRN ativan, the med student drug tested me then put in the note that I had taken the medication from a friend a day before which is not what I had told him. I had said that my partner recognized the intensity of my panic attack and suggested I take my med. So now I have that following me around. All of it looks like a mess on paper that I really don't want to be judged by.
