I start CBT next week but i have struggled for ages with this anxiety without any sort of medication. My doctor doesnt believe in medication, but shes not the one who is batteling with anxiety/depression. I am going to make an appointment for Friday and just let her know i am not coping and i think i really do need medication to help me as well as the CBT. It makes me so angry when i see people getting medication that they dont need as they are not really depressed or suffering from anxiety! whats everyones thoughts on medication vs CBT?
