Hi! I'm new to this forum so will tell you a lil bit about my situation.
I used to suffer from severe depression and anxiety. I had a few years relief by taking fluoxetine. I came off it and felt ok for months, then everything went downhill. So that I don't spend the next few years typing, i'll put it all into a list.
- My dog died
- I was admitted into hospital after being seriously ill
- the week after my fiance was admitted into hospital
- he's been diagnosed with severe primary progressive MS and has had to start chemo (without it he'll be fully paralysed in 6 months)
- Chemo is making him very ill so we're always in hospital
- I had to leave my job
- The doctors are having to test me for cancer after lumps were found
- We got into debt and are being threatened with eviction
- I got blood poisoning twice
- We can barely afford food, gas and electricity. We've been so cold that we sleep in coats.
So really, it's no wonder that my anxiety has come back 100 times worse, and my panic attacks are unbearable.
Both Fluoxetine and Citalopram are making my panic attacks worse so,
How can I get over this anxiety??
Advice would really be appreciated as this is ruining my life and i'm finding it harder to look after my fiance.
