(((Brianne))) I'm sorry you're disappointed. Meds are only a tool. They will never take the anxiety away entirely. Therapy takes time. Your issues didn't come overnight, so it makes sense that it will take time to make some headway. FWIW, I am continually learning what causes some of my anxiety & how my learned behavior sets me up for panic. I find reading the posts here really help because I can glean new ways to cope from others.
I hope you will think positively & keep on, keeping on. That's all we can do. Good luck! jan
hi...i know what you are going through...my doc feels the same way about my meds (and doesnt' want to mess w/them until my baby is born), but in the mean time i'm miserable 50% of the time, and the other 50% of the time i'm just okay...i'm not enjoying life or anything about it!
I think that's good news!

Hey Sheri Ann ... my Mom said the same thing, she really likes the fact that this doc isn't trying 5 different meds and changing things left and right (as others have done in the past), she likes the consistency and the fact that he thinks things are going well and I need to work on therapy more. I go back in 2.5 months to see him and he did say if I needed anything to call him, so if I do notice a change for the worse or soemthing, I will definitely call.
I need to focus more on the depression now I think. Positive thinking, I have very low self-esteem ... it's just a matter of DOING it, which is the hardest part for me. I've been a negative thinker for so long, it's so hard to just change, especially when I hate change LOL. Things I will bring up in therapy and see what she says. At this point, I'm sort of just lost or stuck, because I'm not sure what will help or what I need to do to feel 100% better!
