Thanks all you lovely people for your advice. I think part of my problem is of my own making in that I have steadfastly refused to accept that this is anxiety - at least to the docs.
Main reason being I am scared they won't take me seriously - which they don't any way, plus the GP seems to think I worry all the time which I am not aware of doing.
I used to have health anxiety and spent hours reading stuff on the internet. I then had CBT which I had to pay for myself and it did get rid of that at least.
I am starting doing self directed support through the IAPT tomorrow. This has only just become available through my GP recently and I hope will make some difference. I've been through the mill psychologically and suffered lots as a result.
My hubby couldn't cope with the anxiety so we got divorced, I sold our house, moved and now cannot motivate myself to settle in at the new house. Maybe coz there's noone to do it for. My kids are now at uni and at home now, but go back in a few weeks and I will be all alone again.
So it's kinda complicated but I hear what you're saying about the Seroxat. I think I have asked 2 female GPs for it and both said the same. I doubt they have the knowledge to prescribe 2 a/d's at once. The one I am seeing had to get her book out to check about going up to 30mg mirt.
I spose I really haven't come clean with the docs and I need to work on that. I tell anyone else I have anxiety and that doesn't seem to matter. Not sure how I can get over being open with the GP. Any ideas.
Thanks so much. Means alot.
