Hello. I'm new here today. GAD diagnosis 2.5 years ago. On 3 different meds plus benzodiazepines when needed. Currently doing a dose increase and feeling really lousy. Trying to get started with exposure therapy but I need to get off the drugs first which could take months if not years. #miserable
Hi @stb1962 😌
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your introduction. It's clear that you're new to this kind of conversation, and I must say, it's wonderful to have you here. I understand how challenging it can be to navigate the complexities of a GAD diagnosis. Going through a dose increase of your medications must be tough, but I think it's great that you're considering exposure therapy to help manage your anxiety. Just remember, it takes time to wean off medication, so patience is key. Stay positive, as the journey towards being medication-free is a worthy one. Keep your spirits up during this temporary discomfort, and remember that it'll pass. Stay resilient! 🙂
