My Friend the Pharmacist

My best friend, Don, is a pharmacist. He is mentioned a few places on the Agoraphobia Resource Center Website.

I grew up with Don here in the Fresno, California area and have known him since the fourth grade. We went to grade school, junior high, high school, and college together. We have played together on school basketball teams and shared an apartment when we went to University of California at Davis. Though Don does not have an anxiety disorder, he has known me through all of my experience with agoraphobia.

After college, Don went to pharmacy school and became a pharmacist. Actually, he is a pharmacy manager now. Any time I have a question about a medication I am on, I give Don a call.Don has been a supportive friend to me for most of my life, and he and his wife have encouraged me in writing my first e-book and doing a website on Agoraphobia.

Just as Don has helped me, Don would like to help you.There are a lot of doctors out there that don't know that much about psychological disorders and are not as careful as a mental health professional might be about what they prescribe for anxiety. Don would like to be a resource for you on my website, and is here to answer your questions about medication.

Even if you are going to see a psychologist or psychiatrist - you are the one who knows your body - and you should be an active participant in any decision made about the medications you take.

I know from knowing Don that it is good to have a friend who is a pharmacist to discuss your medication options with. That's what Don will do for you. If you have questions about medications you are taking for anxiety or agoraphobia, please feel free to email my friend, Don, at:

Its good to learn all you can about any medication you even consider taking for agoraphobia.
