Hi all,

I have been suffering really bad with a repeat episode of Anxiety and Panic Attacks since Mid January and have been off work due to it.
Doctor has put me on Escitaloram 10mg per day which I am now into my third week on this med, Panic Attacks have started to subside alot and the only new sympton I have which is a possibly a side affect is sweating alot and hot flushes.
I still feel that I have alot of Anxiety and a new symptom has appeared since starting the meds which I am really worried about,
I have been getting pain and discomfort (really aching feeling) in the sides of my abdoemen (more so left side) and general tenderness around my stomach area, I have also had spells of diarrrea on and off over the past week and a general feeling of being unwell.
Doctor has stated it is probably IBS and that it should subside once the meds fully work.
Just wanted some reassurance from others who may have suffered the same as Im worried sick and just want some advice, guidance from other members.

Im sure my anxiety would drop dramatically without these IBS symptoms.

Steve
