Doctor not listening to me. -

I went to the Doctors today to get some help for my Anxiety, it has been awful the past few months I even went to the hospital because of panic attacks and chest pain. When I saw a Dr today I was happy that I'd finally got an appointment as it took 3 days for them to get back to me. When I was telling this new Dr about how paranoid I am and how I still have chest pains and how I've got like a permanent nagging headache and I see hallucinations such as bugs on the walls and people and even a monster/creature thing, he asked me if I take drugs which I said no, because I dont and then didn't say anything else. I asked him if I could try some Anxiety medication as my last medication made me quite numb and he says 'well all medication does that' and also said do I really want to through the cycle of trying medications and for how long. He felt really condescending. I agreed to try my current medication again at a higher dose and instead he puts it down the beginner dose when i started at triple that in the first place. I have not stopped crying since returning home as I really wanted to get some help to feel better and I just feel so much worse now.
