I take Zoloft and I exercise. My therapist and psychiatrist know that I take Zoloft and they have encouraged me to exercise. Exercise helps me control my anxiety. Tim Tam says “the net warns against”...
I agree Mike. Both therapist and patient have responsibility to stay focused and on-topic....
I had the same confusion as Cashless. In any event, my suggestion would be for your husband to see a psychiatrist, be completely honest with the psychiatrist about how much Xanax he is taking, and...
I have OCD too. Meds can help, including SSRIs. The gold standard treatment beside medication is ERP (Exposure Response Prevention). It helps to have a therapist with OCD expertise....
