Hi all, I have been suffering from terrible panic, especially at night, which leads to my getting very little sleep and have been to see a Psychiatrist (privately as would take at least 6 months on the NHS!) He wishes to prescribe me benzodiazepines and temazepam. I am also undertaking a course of CBT.
I am also 4 months pregnant and would really rather not take the drugs, but the CBT is not going to work immediately and am suffering very badly and I am having panic attacks and anxiety at work (teacher,) when driving and all sorts. It's like torture, especially in the middle of the night when I desperately need sleep.
Does anyone have any experience of any of this and maybe some tips or advice as am floundering and feeling very out of control and am not coping?
Thank you,
