Feel I am a bit stuck
My problem is that I am anxious...but then get anxious about things that might help!
For example, I was started on prozac...4 days into it I was a complete state, I work myself up sooooo much about it and retreat to bed etc. When i'm out i am convinced something is going to happen etc.
I went back to CMHT and they have suggested gammanil and also a drug from the benzo group for the initial stages, however, i am still so unsure about it all at the moment.
i dont know if i will ever get past the anxiety that swallowing a pill provokes for me to help my anxiety [:I]

I am the same. I'm so scared of taking any type of pill and it just makes me more anxious. I think quite a few of us on here are pill phobic. One piece of advice: Don't read the side-effect leaflet - this makes it SO much worse..:D

lol I have to agree with seh, it's the worst thing you could do! Take your time with your decision about the tablets and maybe get some more advice.

Hi Desperate
Many of us worry or fear taking meds, worry about the possible side effects, etc..
Just give it a go for a few days and see how it goes...
Sarah 's advice is very wise, reading leaflets and google is not a good idea. It will make you worry even more and increase your anxiety. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. :)
Let us know how you get on. ;)

Hi flo,
I will try it for a week and see how i do, i hear this one is supposed to be faster acting and i think the benzo should calm me down too.
i just want to be able to live and not just exist at the moment.
was great talking to u last night btw!

Hi Desperate,
Remember the side effects dont affect everyone, they have to be printed to cover the manufacturer, even things like paracetamol carry side effect warnings and we dont think twice about taking one if we have a headache. I am like Seh now i dont read the leaflets, then i cant stress about it lol.
Take care
