I have been on Duloxetine for9 months on different doses and still not right. 8 weeks ago I saw a NHS shrink who was very nice and suggested I stayed on the dosage for the time being and in the mean time have an ECG and a full blood test especially as i have thyroid probs. I had these last week as my next shrink apt was today, the gps receptionist assured me they had faxed the results thro ,in fact the sec,came out especially to say so.
Anyway i was all of a do dah this morning before the apt as i wanted a med change but scared about that at the same time. When i got in, he hadnt got the results on the file so therefore hadnt looked at them!!
said there was no point in changing meds as I'd been on so many since seroxat. Wants to refer me to a psychologist to be assessed for CBT but the occ theripist has already told me after one visit i do everything possible to fight the fear and there was nothing more she could teach me. So what the heck can CBT do????
The fact i do have good days seem to mean that I am better than i was but this is no life on the roller coaster as I told him.
He then said as I am older it may be taking longer to work???
Today the anx is soaring but yesterday I was on a Church outing and the life and soul.
Any suggestions???
Yours in despair at least today
Love Joy
