Hi Tinka,

Welcome to NMP. There's some excellent support here, these guys just helped me get out of the house on my own for the first time in three months today after a relapse into Panic Disorder & Agoraphobia. How are you finding the meds so far? Are you getting any other help, or using any other resources besides the meds yet?

[Tinka]

Hey!! Sounds like your on the right track! I'm waiting to go for some therapy as well!! I use gym as my therapy at the mo!! Meds are making me feel so sick :( are you on meds too? Xx

[Mr.Jitters]

Good luck with your therapy. There are loads of self help and CBT resources floating around on the forums that are great, too. Gym is a great therapy in itself. Unfortunately lots of meds have that effect in the first few weeks. Worth it when they kick in, though :) I went through hell and back for the first two weeks my meds were changed from Dosulepin to Nortriptyline, now in my third week and things are really looking up. Hope yours have you feeling better soon!
