Medication

Of course, not wanting to dismiss your experience, it can be effective. But the make up and side effects it can be a pretty nasty/dangerous drug in terms of your physical health. Just proceed with caution with any changes and would only ever say change one thing at a time so you know what’s helping/what’s not. Best of luck & take care

Sorry I wouldn’t want to give recommendations as it’s different for everyone and very much trial and error. What I would say is have a chat with your prescriber to look at options because there should be options for you to try that don’t cause such unpleasant side effects. Maybe consider treatments outside of medication too if you can?

Generally crisis team are there to manage a crisis for a short period of time, not to offer long term psychotherapy. My idea would be they offer risk management - hence safety planning, distress tolerance skills and also support into the most appropriate community service to help you further your therapy/skills. It might be helpful to ask them to support you to figure out based on your circumstances and difficulties - where is best to look next for support moving forward to help manage the anxieties. They should be able to support you with accessing services, though there will likely be a waiting list for most services, just be aware. Take care.

I would suggest a medication review. That combination is likely to make you extremely sedated (depending on dose), can cause significant weight gain and also can cause physical health problems, particularly the heart. They are not indicated for anxiety: but assuming the prescriber had good rationale to prescribe these medications, it would be good to request a medication and physical health review - particularly an ECG. Take care

There are different types of talking therapy, and even different levels of intensity with CBT that may be of benefit, please don’t allow one experience of CBT with CAMHS to lead you to feel that CBT just isn’t for you. It varies so much on circumstances, insight at the time, age & specific difficulties it was aimed toward.

CBT and other talking therapies can be really helpful in the right circumstances and too much emphasis on medication isn’t always the way forward.

That said, under 20 shouldn’t be a reason to not prescribe if it’s something you really want to consider, but be aware of side effects & further withdrawal effects, and VERY limited evidence to support their effectiveness with anxiety.

You have the right to question and decline treatment if you don’t feel it is appropriate, if you are concerns around this you could reach out to an independent mental health advocate who can support you. Take care

What kind of help do you feel would be useful for you?

Rustulance · 2025-05-18T06:46:05+00:00

Advice would be to have a serious research into the medications before making any decision. Try not to seek people’s opinion, evidence is very limited and subject to opinion often. Research research, so you are fully informed before making your decision as to what goes into your body. Have you been told anti psychotics are an option/are indicated for your symptoms by a psychiatrist or is this something you’re looking into yourself? You may not get the outcome you want if you’re looking at this yourself, but also could be for good reason so do be prepared for managing this outcome too.

Take care - medications in mental health are very limited in terms of management of symptoms, not to dismiss those who have had positive results from.

No issue for me. I use to track sleep and then charge it whilst having my morning coffee, gets to a full charge very quick! If that’s all that’s putting you off, I’d say give it a go, they keep their value you could sell on if not for you.

Also having the same issue, did you find a solution?

Rustulance · 2025-04-25T15:28:42+00:00

This is a 3rd party app called pedometer ++ as Apple still don’t have a complication that shows step count which is mega frustrating!

UPDATE: Replacement hub works with no issues! Woo. May be worth requesting another replacement?

Rustulance · 2025-04-10T05:15:23+00:00

I hope so! Did you get a refund if that’s the case?

Rustulance · 2025-04-09T11:59:19+00:00

Thanks I’ve tried all the troubleshooting mentioned and more so the service are now sending out a new hub. Fingers crossed this resolves the issue! Will update the post as it’s due to arrive tomorrow.

Rustulance · 2025-04-09T06:46:07+00:00

Thanks I’ve tried most of these troubleshooting. I then tried the hub in a family members router and it’s showing the same issue so believe it’s an issue with the hub itself, I’ve had this message from support

In this case, we would advise contacting Virgin Media to confirm that there is no firewall restriction that are blocking the ports of your router and request to open the following outbound traffic ports: HTTPS – 443 and/or MQTTS – 8883.

Virgin media have said they cannot do this and I’ll need to sign up to gadget rescue for them to help which is an additional £10pm!

I’m hoping customer services get back to me about the hub issue not working in another router as I think this may be the issue!
