Howdy all,
I'll try and keep this short I just needed an outlet for my general frustration at the minute.
I've had PA's and Agoraphobia on and off since I was 17 with a good few years in between where I lived a normal life, tried various different medications with varying results.
A few months back my PA's returned due to me being very stressed out about various stuff ( I really need to work on keeping my stress levels down!).Two weeks ago I decided to try another new med ( Citrolpram) geez that didn't agree with me at all! I lasted a week and I just couldn't cope with my anxiety levels so stopped taking them on Saturday.( I spent all day Sat in bed shaking with panic/anxiety)
Since then my anx levels have been sky high and I'm finding it very difficult to reduce them, I haven't been any further than my back yard for a good week and the thought of the postie knocking on the door or the phone ringing is enough to make me panic.
I have never worried about those things so I'm hoping to hell that it's just a side effect of the medication working out my system.
So yeah.. there you go.
I'm sick to death of this now and I'd really like my life back but I'm not doing meds again, I refuse to feel that bad!
Any ideas?
Ps Thank you for the various people on here who have kept me occupied and amused where I could have easily has wallowed in a pool of self pity.
Peace out
Maxine
