Guest guest Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 My 17 yr old daughter has been taking inositol and St 's word for 7 years. We would like to try medication. She is not currently seeing a counselor. Our insurance will allow 3 Dr appointments with only a copay of $35. We do not have prescription coverage so I am hoping for a generic. I am trying to decide if I should take her to her family practice physician or if we need to go to a psychiatrist. She was diagnosed by a psychologist. She has obsessions and compulsions with some depression also. The inositol and st s helped immensely at first, but I do think she could use a little more relief and she is willing to try something. I would like some input on both type of professional and recommended drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
