So I’ve been waiting on the NHS for a psychiatrist appointment and I thought I’d pay for one privately due to the delays.
Anyway, the psychiatrist wrote in my letter that Prozac had reduced my anxiety, as well as my OCD symptoms but continued to diagnose me with panic disorder, agoraphobia and anxiety.
I tried to communicate with her that any reduction meant going from high extremes to highly severe. As I still can’t do my own shopping for food, clothes, or even pick up my own prescriptions. I still can’t even play football like I used to for 17 years either.
Anyway, it’s baffled me because in the follow up review clinic letter she mentions considerable anxiety and changing my prescriptions to one week only due to risk.
So the question is, is a reduction in anxiety a change of circumstances?
The only thing I have done differently is tried to attempt a walk, accompanied with a friend round the block, which takes 10 minutes and is less than a mile.
I still need transport to important medical appointments and can’t do things on my own due to anxiety and seizures.
