I desperately need a drug for my GAD. Ive been on all the SSRI's, Effexor, Serzone, Buspar, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium, and Tranxene.
I currently take Luvox for OCD and Buspar for the side effects of Luvox.
My P-doc seems hesistant to prescribe anything else. Almost every visit --he says that I can just keep talking with my therapist and my anxiety might get better. My anxiety is from my childhood and I have been anxious all my life and have been talking about it for 2 years now.
He said if that dont work we might try Gabitril. He doesnt like Neurontin because of all the high dose ranges.
Think Gabitril is worth a try?
Can therapy CBT actually help GAD? It has helped my OCD though. But, how do I convince him I need a med? Some of the benzos worked, but i grew tolerant to them, so it is a gaba problem. Any Suggestions? Should i seek a second opinion?
