" waited to see a specialist for 6 months so they can further test and find out why I have had these tension headaches. I was expecting with this field for a doctor to actually want to see why I was having this issue. Not the doctor I got that just gave me a prescription that my family doctor could have given me. I had no test to look for pinched nerve problems to nothing. All I walked out with is a prescription to try to make me sleep better I was told. The prescription is used as a sedative and antidepressant. Why would a doctor give me a sedative when I am already prescribed meclizine. This pill is to help treat dizziness. This drug makes me very tired. I can't even take the 3 doses doctor prescribed because I am so tired with one does I have a hard time wake up. So she thinks I need a sedative. That my headache is due to not enough rest because I work 3rd shift. The weirdest thing is I started getting these headaches when I was training on 1st shift for 3 months. Had headaches everyday for those 3 months. This when I was getting 8 hours of sleep. Well the type of person I am I want to find out what is causing these headaches and make them go away but instead I got more pills. Not what I wanted. I am very unhappy paying the big bill for a specialist that didn't do their job of trying to figure out what is the cause of the problem but to just get some kind of bonus from the pharmaceutical department by seeing how many people the can give pills to a day. I don't like pill pushing doctors and that is where this doctor ranks in my book. So if you are a pill popper and just want a pill to take for the rest of your life this is the doctor for you. but as for me I don't like pills I just wanted to see what was wrong with me so I can fix it. Not something I got here. So I will continue to my second visit of acupuncture to hopefully get some relief this way. I am crossing my fingers that it works. This doctor did say that acupuncture is a good way to go for some patients. That was probably the only good information I received from this visit. The lady at the front and the nurse we talked to prior to seeing the doctor was very pleasant . The nurse listened very well to what we had going on. The doctor wasn't rude or anything. And did answer some question about medication interactions. But when we were talking about what was going on She seemed to listen. But in the end I was totally shocked that in the end and telling her everything we had already tried she didn't want to do some test to check for the problem. She just thinks sleep is what I need. I just went on vacation for a week. And sleep normally and still had headaches. Ok done with my rant I wish I would have had better things to say but I still have a headache and no help. But I am sure the bill I will get in the mail from this doctor for the visit will help me sleep better... :( "
