Anxiety all the time

LucyLou

Learning
Since starting with therapist in Dec, I feel anxious all the time. What is the criteria for meds? I hate making appts/phone calls, so I'd like to know what they will ask etc before I call them. I'm already on sertraline and I've had 2 MH assessments/CBT and I'll be telling them I've started with this private therapist too......Will they prescribe me anything?

I felt more anxious when I’ve started my current therapist that I have now because we’ve been deep diving into my abuse but in the long run, it’s helping me because she’s teaching me all these coping mechanisms and educating me on why my brain is wired the way it is now I don’t know if that’s something you’re going through with yours as well.
All doctors are different, but I think you should just be honest and you know they’re professionals and you can voice your concerns about medication they want to put you if you don’t want to take it because I have before. I was given a second anti-depressant my doctor wanted me to take but I didn’t wanna take it because I felt like I was taking so many medication’s and I was like I don’t want to take one more thing. And then I found out later I had a hypothyroidism and that’s what was causing the way I was feeling at the time. I’ve never tried to figure out what they’re gonna ask because you can’t prepare for that you just have to be honest.
