Thanks for the info.
Right now I've been on 37.5mg for 5 days, I think if I just stop today then I'll be fine.
I have until Saturday off work, so I'm hoping I'll be normal again.
Cognitive therapy you mention? Is this for treatment for anxiety/depression or to help on come off the medication?
I'm a Psychology student and cognitive therapy is when a therapist tries to disassociate your negative words/feelings with yourself.
I found Humanistic therapy really helped for me. Humanistic therapy can include Extistential and Gestalt therapy. This was the best for me, in regarding anxiety.
Existentialists believe anxiety is created because we feel helpless, we let our lives unfold without consciously making a decision of what we want to do.
For example, you become a lawyer because your family associated being a lawyer with being successful, or you wanted to make a lot of money, or you just fell into the field in University. An extistentialist would say because you haven't choosen to become a lawyer you are not really doing what you want in your life, therefore living an unauthentic life.
Anyhow I could go on, but then this would get waaaayyyyy too long. If you have some more questions, feel free to ask.
