Re: First post, could really do with some help :/
Hey Christopher, welcome to the forum
Sorry to hear you're having a hard time, I assure you that you'll find many like minded people on here doing their best to beat the beast that is anxiety, myself included.
I'm not agoraphobic, but my anxiety has been making it difficult to go out and about without feeling like i'm about to pass out from dizziness. Currently my derealization is in full swing and it's sucking the fun out of things I used to enjoy. My main problem is Health Anxiety and it moves to different things, the current one being worried about my heart.
I take Mirtazapine but I was on Citalopram for about 8 years or so, it became quite difficult to tell whether it was working or not. If the citalopram doesn't seem to be doing anything and you've tried therapy, it might be worth asking your doctor to refer you on to a psychiatrist. I see a psych right now and they're a lot more clued up on certain medications that you could try instead or alongside any current medication you're on. They'll take your medical history into account as well.
It's a hard road, I know, but it won't last forever. Just take it one step at a time, see what works and what doesn't. Once you find something that works for you, you'll be in a much better mindset and i'm certain you'll be able to pull yourself out of this rut you're in.
All the best and I hope you get some good support from here as I have!
