Health anxiety

[lparkinson]

Just finished a cbt with counselling and been discharged 2 weeks but back to thinking stupid again n thinking the worst of things was on mirtazapine but have changed tablets and now on fluoxitine feel worse for wear today anyone else had this

Hi:  If  you mean worse for wear because of cbt,  I agree because it is very wearing when you first get into it.  It requires work, discipline and moving forward.  A little hard for me because of my fears.  If you meant because of the tablet change, I'm not familiar with either of those meds.   In either case I wish you well.....

Think it's coz of tablet change the doc said I would go down with a boom from changing tablets so horrible 

[Agora1 in reply to lparkinson]

I understand now.  I'm actually glad it's not because of cbt.  Don't give up on that, it will eventually all make sense.   As for the table change, I get it.  At least for me, trying new meds has always been a problem.  Hope you get through it without too much trouble.

I honestly just think I'm going to die so scary I've been crying just think I'm bk to square one I got discharged from counselling two minds whether to ring him bk or see how these tablets go 

[Agora1 in reply to lparkinson]

I'm so sorry you are so upset.  Is that all they felt you needed was 2 cbt sessions?  If so, I can understand you feeling like you are back to square one.  I have been there myself so many times.  Wondering and worrying and crying will I ever get better.  If for no other reason than you getting angry at living like this, it does get better and less intense.  I think there comes a time where we all fear death because it feels like everytime we experience an anxiety attack, it feels like our last moments.  We never get use to that feeling of dread.   I don't think it would hurt if you gave him a call back and explain what you are thinking.   Of course, you can wait and see how the tablets go, but I don't think that  you will be satisfied with just doing that.  It's your decision but if it were me, I would call and say that I needed more counseling especially with the tablet change.They  should understand that or at least give you some advice.

Yes I'm going to give them a call he was so lovely my councillor couldn't fault him it is exactly that I have propananol for my panic attacks but went away and forgot to take them hadn't had one in few months n now I'm more panicy n I think that's wat I had tonight x

[Agora1 in reply to lparkinson]

Could very well be not taking the propanalol caused the panic episode.  Good for you in making that call to your councilor.  Hope you start calming down.  You are doing good. x

[lparkinson in reply to Agora1]

I had cbt and for me personally it didn't help,I found a brilliant hypnotherapist who I paid too see,she helped me so much I went from scared to do anything to getting myself a job in a special needs school,plus I went from 6 Propanolol a day down too only 2.ive never tried mirtazapine but I cope so much better now.good luck x

[Agora1 in reply to Lynne75]

Lynne,  I'm so happy for you.  I've also had hypnotherapy and it is amazing in how it works.  Insurance won't cover it but I paid out of pocket for a little while.  I want to go back again but her prices went up..It is great though.

Wishing you continued success...
