The medication was weird. I was switching around for awhile it felt like. A few months and then with no difference except for the fact of a broken penis being the usual side effect; they would have me try a different one. I was going to a free place but then they said they couldn't help me so I went to a different place where they did actual diagnoses. Was where I was given a few different things but again the usual no change. I think by the time I had done CBT the person I was going to basically said they couldn't work with me.
I don't blame them I guess.
To answer the question- I don't think I was on any meds but again the person I was going to didn't want me to take any meds while the therapist was asking for me to take meds. There was a reason they didn't want me to take meds. So I just tried to do cbt therapy alone without meds which just helped in escalating me some more I found. Tried group therapy and that just made me feel worse. Tried to walk around the block, more like a panicked runwalk, again making me feel worse because I felt like everyone was plotting against me. Every car that passed making me sweat and panic. I made it 30 seconds I think before I retreated back inside. Was one of the few times I actually went out alone in pretty much my entire life.
