CBT is effective for many people, but CBT+Drug therapy is even more effective !
> i saw someone had suggested Paxil in this thread; I hear that it works great for anxiety---both my aunt and a good friend of mine took it and gained 40 pounds and 30 pounds, repectively---plus the side effects of coming off were horrible. Someone else also suggested cognitive therapy--I went that route and within three days of my first session I forced myself to go to a concert 500 miles a way! I had not left the state in two years and i felt a great accomplishment! I learned some coping skills and wanted to test them out--and they worked! If you are dedicated and trusting therapy can really work. Good luck!
