Hi
I've been suffering with anxiety for over a year now but I've been fortunate enough to have had CBT for around 7 months on a weekly basis.
I've had a number of ups and downs but when I was particularly down, my GP referred me to a psychiatrist who has put me on a new course of medication.
As with many meds, things can get a little worse before they get better but my CBT guy is convinced that it is the medication that is hindering my progress in fighting the anxiety. I.e. holding me back from recovery. He believes this to the point that he wants to call my psychiatrist to find out why I've been put on a 'strong' course of meds.
As the CBT doesn't seem to be working by itself, I want to give the meds a try and get the best of both worlds.
Just wondering whether anyone has co e across a similar issue.
