May I ask what medication you are taking in conjunction with the CBT?
Next week I am asking for a referral to a therapist as, whilst some self help and help from people via blogs and forums has been great, I really need something quite intensive to put weight and momentum behind the recovery!
So sorry not to have replied earlier, I take Trazadone, this is a newer type of anti depressant type medication that is known to have a sedating effect, so is particularly useful for anxiety. At the moment I take a total of 150mg per day, but I started with just 50mg, possibly I could benefit from a slightly higher dose, but due to its sedating effect, I found it difficult function properly during the day when I tried 200mg, however I am still considering increasing my dose possibly taking a higher dose in the evening when I am not at work. I did not react well to the other types of anti depressant, such as Citalopram or Fluoxetine.
