Anxiety: bouts of nervousness, dry flushing and nausea

I do agree with you 100% about some psychiatrist not being the right one for you. So far my first visit went really well and she told me if I felt she was not helping me there were others in the practice that may be better for me. No hard feelings would be felt. We seemed to hit it off pretty well so hoping my follow up visits go just as well with her. So I ask what CBT is. I don’t think I am familiar with this. Thank you. I started on the last of the Lyrica today taking a 50mg capsule and halving it, by late afternoon all the withdrawal symptoms hit big time just as they did when I started coming off the 300mg. I was like holy crap here I go again when I thought I was getting better. Tomorrow starts four months off all these horrible debilitating feelings. Thanks for listening

That is very unusual in a psychiatric practice. Even when the person I was seeing was retiring, they would not move me to another in the practice and if it was simply a non-compatibility issue, then switching inside the practice was out of the question. CBT tries to help you learn different ways of thinking about problems or ideas. If you are a negative thinker, like me, it helps you to evaluate situations without judgement until you have evaluated it from different angles. I don't know if that is the dictionary definition, but it is the one that works for me.

@cdcc
CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I should be able to tell you more about it, but I'm still under the influence of the flu. It's been helpful for me, dealing with depression anxiety PTSD and suicidal ideation.
