I hope you find this.

Thanks for your response. I have definitely considered seeing another physician, but since as I mentioned my physician is a family friend/works with my dad, I think that makes it much harder for me to talk to my mom about going to a different physician. I'll try talking to my mom about it though.
I've also been trying to go to the free counseling clinic on my campus to try and get more of that approach in addition to changing my medication because I figured they might at least be able to talk me through it more. First I just have to work up the courage to either call in or go there to make an appointment because both terrify me, haha.
Thank you again!
