I have - it's pretty good if you are open to pushing through things! It got me back living a full and active life, although I still do have some anxiety, but I do not let it hold me back or go on to full panic mode! I also use self-help books and self-hypnosis tapes to back up the cbt

Yes I am having it. I have chronic nerve pain and I was prescribed amitriptyline for this I only take 15mg a night very low dose, but the anxiety on them seems to have all but gone.

Yes I've had CBT.
10 years ago and I had some more sessions recently as I had a blip.
Worked for me.

Never helped me at all, too far down the line before it was recommended.
