Hi all, have been suffering with panic attacks on and off for quite some time now. Two years ago I finally decided to see a doctor about it and he put me on 10mg of cipralex and it wotrked a treat.
Now, a few weeks back I felt my panic attacks coming back. I went to the doctor and he upped my dosage to 20mg and gave me sleeping tabs for the first two weeks.
All was good(ish) until I stopped taking the sleeping pills. Today has been awful, worse than it was when I upped my dosage. The question I have is, I have been on my new dosage for coming up to three weeks and I kinda figured that by now, my body would have got used the increase so why have I had such a poo day???? Is it the that the meds aren't working? Is it (possibly) withdrawl symptom of the sleeping pills? Is it just a side effect from the upped dosage?
This time I have completely cut out tea (of which I was drinking nearly 10 cups a day before) and now just drink water. My diet is pretty good too.
Anyone wanna hazard a guess as to why I have gone so far backwards????
