Hi, chickuk. I have not responded well to CBT either. Between the meds and therapy I've had a huge improvement. My breakthrough for the panic and anxiety was having EMDR treatment.
BTW my GP while I lived over there was very progressive - he did accupuncture on me, and referred me to a dentist at one point because I was getting bad headaches due to TMJ. My point being that as cr@p as National Health is, it's worth trying other doctors. I went to 3 in the same pratice before I found one who wasn't insulted by the North American asking too many questions :) It helps me a lot to make a list before I get there so if I'm completely hysterical at least I can hand the list over while I cry!
I too have depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Please persevere and look for another GP in the practice.
