Thats what i've just come off, didnt really do anything for me!
I've just read most of treatment called the 'linden method', which is written by someone who suffered with anxiety for 8 years, but managed to beat it.
Its made me think quite seriously about not going onto anti depressants. Maybe its just his evocative writing, but alot of what he says does make sense. At the end of the day anti-depressants just masking the anxiety, like a band aid over an ingrowing toe-nail. It doesnt address the underlying problem. So im going to have to have a good chat with my gp i think.
One one hand, going on ad's would hopefully take the edge of my anxiety and thus allow me do more things and build confidence etc, but would i then begin to rely on them to be happy? Would the anxiety return as soon as i ceased the ad's? I guess i wont know until i try them, but run the risk of nasty side effects.
Or do i continue as i am, and have been for the past 6 months, and hope that by continualy pushing myself i will eventually beat it.
