Good post. AD's are the current fad drug. Dr's are not unlike fashion desiners or music companies. They are driven by mktg. driven fads. Right now, AD's which are not controlled substances are the first line for everything. Take the AD Rx and ignore it. Call the doc back and say it causes insomnia and panic attacks -- most doc's will Rx Xananx or Ativan to address these "side-effects" as long as their butt is covered by an Rx for an AD. We live in the age of managed care, it is our job to intelligently mangage our care.
