I hate new drugs.

With my anxiety, I have a hard time taking any medication for the first time due to fear of side effects and possible interactions, etc... but when the medication is something that is brand new to the market I just refuse to take it.

Thankfully, my doctor accepts and understands this little bit of strange anxiety and pill phobia, and she knows that I won't take any medication unless it has been on the market for at least a year or two.

My psychaitrist on the other hand still needs to be taught - he loves new stuff and he always wants his patients to try to latest and greatest.... and he has a hard time believing and accepting that I am happy with my old as dirt Trazodone for an antidepressant... but he will learn eventually
