Hi all.

I recently signed up a few weeks back. Been in the chat room once or twice since.

Heres my story then..

I am 29 year old male who has suffered from panic attacks since I was 18. I was on serxoat for 9 months back in 2001 after my first panic attack. It changed me quite a lot. I put on 4 stone in weight, stopped going out lots. Basically became a different person.

Anyway over the next few years I try to manage my panics and anxiety by myself to some degree it worked really well. Back in 2007 I was at gym and had pins and needles in my arms, turns out I hadn’t eaten enough that day. Anyway I started having panics again and I couldn’t handle going back to the gym, but now even everyday things where upsetting me. ie going the shops..etc.. I spoke to the doctor and he gave me citalopram 10mg. I felt a lot better over the pass 4 years. I have had the occasional panic but it usually has been a one off.

Been feeling anxious, depressed and panicky the past 2 weeks and found this website 2 weeks ago

So that’s my story so far

Hi Scotsman,

I'm not from Scotland, I'm from Suffolk so nowhere near!

But just wanted to say I also suffer from anxiety and IBS a problem, I take a really good probiotic from Holland and Barratt - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp
pid=753&prodid=809&cid=145&sid=0

- it's really good, keeps you healthy and has definately lowered my symptons, so 1 less worry :)

Hope you find this site useful and make some new friends

Megan
