I was originally given Librium for withdrawal, yes. But after coming off of them after the withdrawal phase and the anxiety ramping up I visited my gp and he recommended that I go back on them for the time being. He also recommended me seeing a psychiatrist for further therapy. I have currently called every practice in my area and have potential luck with two, just have to wait to hear back from them. The reason I am terrified off SSRIs as someone asked is I’ve tried several kinds years ago and had terrible reactions to them. So not too keen on trying them again.
