On Friday i had a meeting with my new counsellor, who im not too keen on. But said i was considering seeing my GP for medication and she reacted as though id said the most ridiculous thing in the world and that they would make me depressed and suicidal! I felt like crying and that was the only hope of getting better i had left! Why the hell would they prescribe them to people if they are that bad!!
I never wanted to go on medication and that's the reason ive done Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for 8months! However, nothing much has really changed and panic attacks are coming back and as ive just said in my previous post about disorientation, the symptoms are unbarable.
Just feel so down and starting to have little hope for the future with this hanging over me In the past my GP said not to worry and it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if i did go on medication, so i may go back and see her. Done quite a bit of research about SSRIs serototin? Has anyone had any experience with a panic disorder and social anxiety and disorientation and symptoms that come with anxiety? and is medication really that bad!?
some medications can be addictive but your GP knows you best...i'd say talk to your gp about it . therapy is useful but medications are too. if its that bad id say go with your instinct and ask about meds with your doctor. just tell your counciler how you feel too
