Hi , just wanting to reach out and ask a couple of questions .
I have severe health anxiety which I have had for a long time but is now so much worse .
I have been on antidepressants for 15 years same one . Has any body been on medication for this and felt not working anymore ?
can your body get us to it and need a change ?
just interested if anyone else has felt or been thru this and changed meds .
did it help ?
thank u 😊

Hello I also suffer from severe health anxiety and have for many years, but only recently started medication so I can’t give you much feedback in regards to your medication question but I would love to have a chat with you in regards to how you deal with your symptoms in general I haven’t actually ever spoken to anybody else that has the health anxiety like myself
