I would speak to both and understand the primary may help you how to look at the psychiatrist’s recommendations differently than you might, originally. Also might assist in the questions you can ask the shrink. The psychiatrist knows more re meds actions in the brain, body, and experience in people’s responses-those differences, help in your treatment process.
That’s been my experience for 30 years.

I appreciate your input. I asked my therapist specifically about the medication option and he explained a lot. He explained how anxiety and depression go hand in hand. So, I see why I was prescribed Lexapro.

Now, I have to get passed my concern over 2 things. Withdrawal symptoms, which apparently can be troublesome for some patients AND
Sexual side effects. I’ve read that the med can cause loss of ability to have orgasms, which could be permanent! How is this possible? I can’t take that risk. That is too important to me. Are there other options?
