hello everybody hope you are all ok!
thought i would join this site so can meet other people like me, who are suffering with panic-attacks/anxiety and depression.
I sufferer with this terribly for the past 15 years im 28 years old now.
So fed up with having these sensations every single day.
I.ve tryed every technique under the sun e.g. CBT, relaxation, meditation, reiki, linden method my god can go on lol...
Currently on 3 different types of antidepressents was wondering if anybody would like to give me a few pointers in what else i can try its really am ruining my life.
fed up of living in fear even though i know it cannot kill me but its still scary.
looking forward in talking to you all

hey thanks for responding im currently on 48mg citalopram too 2ml mirtazapine at night time because i wakeup in the middle of the night having a panic attack never knew that could happen till i experienced it everynight.
and on 1mg lorazapram which i take evry three days.

how are you feeling with the citalopram nicola its not doing anything for me at all, do you experience panic attacks every day too

im currently only on 20mg of citalopram but am due to go up to 30mg next week as i was stable on that last time, i found cit fab for me last time just praying it works aswell this time!! im also on sleeping tabs at the min as im waking in the night v anxious, also got 2mg of diazepam to help me thro side effects of cit and until fingers crossed they kick in!! Ive had an awfull few days with panic attacks but think thats due t me having a kidney infection too :weep:, how long u been taking the cit for?
