My Pulmonologist refered me to my PCP. My PCP (he is a young Dr.) told me he does not usually take patients with chronic anxiety disorder. I had to get a prescription from my Physiatrist for my chronic anxiety.

I'm afraid to ask my PCP since he has lumped anxiety meds into the same category as oxycodone.

I Googled Palliative care and am talking with them directly to see if they would be willing to help me.

Thanks for your feedback...tom
