Hi everyone,
I'm from Mexico but Im stuyding a PhD in UK. I'm about to start my third year. The problems started when I awoke some weeks ago with the sense that I was not breathing enough air, I got a panic attac and from there I have had other two and I find myself trying to controll my breathing all the time, so I can't sleep I'm anxius, with nauseas and very, very low mood. My GP suggested Citopram 20mg and I'm scared just to think that If I take it, at least for some weeks I could fall even deeper. And in the top of it, Citopram has lactose and Im lacto intolerant, but the GP told me to give it a try. I still do not know what to do.
What to do when you awake at 2am anxius and trying to controll your fears?
