Hey,
So, I finally decided(and have the financial option, hard, but possible) to seek professional help for my anxiety, as it seems I improve it at time, but eventually get back in anxious mode...I went on consultation, and after talking to a psychologist, she suggested that the most effective treatment would be doing side by side some medication(to stabilize and improve how I feel in the present, so I am more capable of dealing with stuff) in combination with therapy(talk therapy and so on...to deal with how this started).
She refereed me to a person that is both psychologist and psychiatrist so they can do both things for me. That way I won't have to pay twice, and the person will have fuller picture of my progress.
But she said in her opinion(after I described how I feel during panic/anxiety attacks) there is some simple medication I can take once a day that would help a lot.
Who here takes medication along with therapy, and how has it been?
I'm afraid of side effects, and in the past would have been reluctant to take absolutely anything,...but I know feel like anything that can help me in getting healthier in the long run, and can make the process less painful or exhausting, is very welcome.
