Her meds cause side effects that I cannot handle: nausea or anxiety or both

A
. Her solutions are to check with my PCP regarding whether my stomach
is ok or to take another drug to handle the
nausea and stomach aches.
No. If eating some crackers a few days in a row does not help with the nausea, that is it. I'm done.

B. For the anxiety she wants me to take Klonopin or similar.
Klonopin has these problems:
1 causes depression and I feel horrible along with being anxious.
2 interferes with ability to get up in the morning to drive and then to
function at work. Work is hard with the hangover.
3 eventually leads to dependence on higher dose


She says if I stay with the med (HOW???!!!), eventually my body will get used to it.

I had only tiny one dose of Abilify (one mg) last weeknd in the afternoon and had crazy antiety along
with chest and back pain. I was unable to
sleep that night even with the Klonopin and the anxiety continued into the next day.
She also gave me Saphris (2mg) but I am not comfortable taking a drug fairly new on the market.
