Are there any doctors that listen?

For 14 years of my life, I am 38 now, I have been on Paxil. When I was 23 out of nowhere I started to feel really weird. Different. Not like myself. I felt dizzy, when I walked I felt like I was on a downward slope. I felt like I was dreaming, not fully awake. I tried to explain best I could to the doctor. He says, are you depressed, I say , No , but I am sad that I feel like this. I just want to be myself again. Mind you I have had ear issues all my life. I now wear hearing aids because I have lost hearing. Well "mr young doctor" gives me paxil. And it worked. I never question what happend to me because I was so relieved to be myself.Well fourteen years later I am still on it. Tried to tell doctores I think its my ears . i thnk its labrynthitis. There are so many facts that make me believe this. I have major ringing in my ear, I have lost hearing, I read all the symtoms and they are a dead renger, no pun intended. My question is though, How do I get my now doctor to listen to me. To help me with my ears to get me off the paxil. I tried to tell my previous doctor and she did not care she did not listen. She said well at some point you were diagnosed with depression. I never was diagnosed with anything. they just gave me pills. I need some support. Tomorrow I AMGOING TO SPEAK WITH MY DOCTOR AND i AM SCARED. I want to be heard and taken seriously.

    Did you get help from your doctor? If your doctor won't refer to you an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist then go to another doctor. Some doctors have such egos they won't refer to specialists and this is infuriating. You need to see a specialist and change doctors if yours won't listen to you. I hope you got help and was listened to.
