Hi,
I've have an lot of problems over the last year culminating in an incident at work last summer where I had a rage attack in reception and hit out and swore at the security barriers.
I was referred to the Lets Talk Wellbeing service in Nottingham who I saw for 8 sessions for what they called CBT, although from what I've read they did n't use any of the CBT techniques. That did n't work for me or address any of my issues so I asked to be referred to another service.
Last week I finally got to see a consultant. I talked about the anxiety I feel most of the time and anxiety I get when in new situations or meeting people in a social situation. The consultant wants me to go on to Pregabalin and is also referring me on to another team.
I'm not keen on going on medication, particularly if the Pregabalin makes me feel drowsy. Can I refuse to take it and still get psychological treatment?
Also, I'm wondering what this other team will do for me? Has anyone else been referred elsewhere after having CBT?
