Hi,
I have been living with Anxiety for past few years now things was getting worse during Autumn/Winter 2013 didnt couldnt leave my house without Panic/Anxiety following me! was like this till about summer of 2014 finally sucked up the Courage to go and see my Doctor who was very understanding and put me on Citalopram 20mg and I was all good and back to myself again I was able to go out and about in my local area with out feeling Anxious!
Then in Spring of 2015 I was working as a Courier travelling the whole of the UK in my Van! then in end of 2015 came the company I worked for went bust and I was made unemployed but i was still out and about in my car! Didnt really have any Anxiety in 2016 apart from the little hiccup now and then then went into 2017 and start of the year was fine then I was taking a friend in my car about 20 miles away and then the Anxiety came back and it was here to stay! felt really bad and my Anxiety was out of control!
Then in Feb of 2017 I went back to my Doctor who upped my Dosage from 20mg to 40mg of Citalopram and after a few weeks of my body adjusting I was okay again for a few months until about July when I had family come over for a weekend and I had one of the worst anxiety i had ever felt before kept me up all night that Saturday my family was having a party for my 21st and i could barely leave my room becuase my anxiety was racing!!! tried everything to keep my mind off it! it calmed down a bit after everything went back to normal but I was prisoner of my own home! I can barely get myself to the shop which is 1/4 of mile away! Doctor put me on Sertraline 50mg in middle of August 2017 and been just under a month now and I still feel like before! I dont want to be like this for the rest of my life!!!
