Heya, my name is Ellie and I am new here... I hope you don't feel like I am intruding. :blush: The main reason I have signed up here is because I want to become a clinical psychologist, and I am currently doing some biology coursework focusing on anxiety disorders (a topic I am very interested in.. long story). Thing is I need to include some graphs/tables in my work so I was wondering if anyone would help me please? :unsure:
If you are on or ever have been on benzodiazepines, could you answer a few questions for me please? There are 10 of them, but please just answer what you feel comfortable with, or what you have time to answer...
What Benzodiazapine were you on?
How long for?
Were you on any other drugs for anxiety previously?
Why did you change if so?
Were you undergoing any other treatment at the same time as taking benzodiazepines (CBT for example)?
Did you find them effective (if you have been on any other meds were they more or less effective)? Did they work in decreasing your anxiety?
If you have now come off them, was it difficult? Did you find them addictive or get withdrawal symptoms?
Why did you come off them? (Side effects or just because they are often addictive with long term use?)
Was the dosage correct the first time? What dosage worked for you (if it did work)?
If you have come off them now, are you on any other medication or are you going to any talking therapies?
Thank you so much, I really hope you don't feel I am intruding :mellow:
