Hi fellow anxiety/panic sufferers.
I started having bad panic attacks last year. I had 6 weeks off work and had to take Diazepam (vallium) for a while. It REALLY helped me. My GP referred me to a clinical Psychologist and I waited a year for the appointment to come through. During that time I learned to 'cope' with my attacks. I done lots of research on the net and spoke to fellow sufferers. They became much less frequent and life got back to normal.
I have now been having CBT for the past 6 weeks and guess what? They are back with a vengence [V] I have been unable to work the past 3 weeks and became so full of anxiety, I couldn't drive or leave the house alone. I am now back on the vallium, 2 days now. It DOES help. I only take one when I am really anxious or have a full on panic attack. I am just taking each day as it comes at the moment.
Anyway, thanks for reading this. I am new to the forum so I hope I've done this right! I would love to hear others comments on CBT and vallium or whatever!
