Went to a new psychiatrist today who said that I don't really have hypochondriasis but a somatoform disorder and that I shouldn't take antidepressants and it is expected that they wouldn't work for my specific problem and they can only make things worse.
I am taking 50mg for 4 days, then 100 mg and we will increase dosage, she believes until 300mg.
I am concerned that this medicine can cause diabetes when taken long term. I am already at risk person with my chronic anxiety and my hba1c was in at the lower end of pre-diabetes range a year ago.
Wish me luck! I really hope this one solves my issues.
