I tried Prozac but it didn’t help a lot and I found my gf so I didn’t want the sexual side effects, then after a lot of anxiety tried Lyrica and it worked decently for a bit less than a year but I think that now it doesn’t help that much (either because my circumstances are more anxiety inducing in general or because of tolerance).
There aren’t that many CBT therapists in my country either let alone ERP specialists (most are talk therapists or psychoanalysts). I’m not sure how much it would help anyways because I mainly have mental obsessions which might are more difficult to prevent.
What did you do in a similar position? Did you manage to find some semblance of inner peace? Thanks for your time
Yeah that makes complete sense and my fears are a bit irrational. The chatter about Gabapentinoid-induced cognitive decline didn’t faze me that much, so why should this. It is a bit expensive and not covered by the national health system, but if I run out of options I will try it
