Please help

Hello,

I hope you can help me. I live in Essex, England and am currently undergoing Cognative Behaviour Therapy (not for DP, for stress and anxiety) which ends in January.

I have been referred to a psychatrist (by asking my GP), whom I see every 3 months for about 10 minutes (I have been twice). I am now on Lustral 150mg a day (also known as Sertraline), which is an anti-depressent and does nothing for me.

Thus far my mild/moderate DP has not been tackled but I am very keen to press ahead.

Please can anyone advise me what my next move should be.

Thank you so much,

Jacqueline

Thanks Indigo,

I really appreciate you taking the time to offer me some advice. I have contacted Maudsley and am waiting to get some information from them via Royal Mail.

Cheers,

Jacqueline

Hi Amlangela,

Thanks for your reply. You suggested Prozac...umm...I really don't want to have to take medication...but I think the time has come that I have to try something radical (Prozac etc is radical for me).

So, Amlangela you found it helped your DP? Please tell.

I am not bothered about anxiety or stress as the CBT has helped a great deal, but this DP is hard to get to grips with.

Anyway,

Thanks again,

Jacqueline

Thanks a lot for your reply Dutch Mark.

I shall bear Paroxetine (paxil, seroxat) in mind and write it down in my notebook.

Muchos Gracias (I am learning Spanish!),

Hi Angela!

Cheers for your reply - lovely to hear from you.

So, You're moving to Espana - where abouts? I am hoping to move to Southern Spain next year.

Yeah I am trying to learn Spanish - I'm in my 2nd year and have just started on the Ser and Estar verbs. I did them last year but I kind of didn't bother taking it seriously; although I am this time around.

Bye,

Jacqueline
