Important questions to ask a psychiatrist before he prescribes me something for anxiety and sleep if he does decide to? i'm terrified of addiction..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: Some possible questions: are there non-medication treatments that can be used? Is this medication addictive? What are possible medication side effects? How long should it take before this medication begins working? Are there possible interactions with other medications that I am taking?
