Hi, i am off all meds at the moment as remeron (after a year) changed from tablets to soltab and ever since i started getting nightmares badly, so doctor took me of it and gave me dothiapen i only stuck that for 1 week because my heart was fluttering all the time and i didnt like it..
heres the meds i been on
effexor caused my anxiety
ssri's raise my bp and hrt rate
reboxatine made me a little manic
remeron was good till they changed to soltab
dothiapen (tca) caused me to be panicky and caused alot of hrt flutters
trazadone gave me same problem as dothiapen did..
physc gave me fluanxol last time i seen her, i didnt like the affect of that either..
valium isnt all that good but thats all doctor will give me, wont give xanax or klonpin..
I am of to the physcyiatrist on 4th august, so maybe she will give me something WHAT shall i ask for? wats left for me?I suffer with severe anxiety/panick atatcks and depression and i am currently obsessing over little things and am having nasty horrible thoughts to go with it.. o and i find it difficult to drop of to sleep, and i am so lazy now cant be bothered to do no house work nothing.. also cbt is out of the question the mental health service in the uk is absoloutely rubbish!! help plse..

Hi, chickuk. I have not responded well to CBT either. Between the meds and therapy I've had a huge improvement. My breakthrough for the panic and anxiety was having EMDR treatment.
BTW my GP while I lived over there was very progressive - he did accupuncture on me, and referred me to a dentist at one point because I was getting bad headaches due to TMJ. My point being that as cr@p as National Health is, it's worth trying other doctors. I went to 3 in the same pratice before I found one who wasn't insulted by the North American asking too many questions :) It helps me a lot to make a list before I get there so if I'm completely hysterical at least I can hand the list over while I cry!
I too have depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Please persevere and look for another GP in the practice.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect this thread to the main Psycho-Babble board. Here's a link:
