I,m really annoyed with myself tonight :mad::mad::mad:
I,ve not had a good few weeks with anxiety even though i,ve been on citralpram 20 mg for nearly a year which got rid of the depression and anxiety but its crept back over the last 3 weeks .
Its all started when the DR i saw just before xmas (not my usual one) called me in for a meds review about the cit 20 mg and stomach acid meds i,ve been on for 12 months . My stomach is ok most of the time , my usual Dr is ok with me takeing the lansoprazole 30 mg as my symtoms improved (nearly went) and she said as i,ve put on weight , got 90 % better stomach wise , had all the blood tests (all ok ) i can carry on with the meds and just get the citralpram reviewed as in comeing off them slowly .
This DR wanted to increase my dose of citralapram :ohmy:, as i said i would panick haveing to go for a ENDOSCOPE as i still have stomach issues and ibs , the ibs i,ve had for 20 years anyway and one affects the other so i see no point in haveing the endscope done as most symtoms are ibs anyway .
I was only in there 4 minutes and i felt like he wasn,t listening .
Since the visit i,ve had a really bad stomach , terrible ibs and a lump in my throat .
Tonight i had severve chest pains , short of breath and felt really panicky .
I,M REALLY ANNOYED WITH MYSELF BECAUSE I TURNED TO ALCOHOL TO CALM DOWN :mad::mad::doh::doh:
I had done so well over the last few weeks not drinking 4-5 cans at night and had 3 days off , 2 days on , one day etc and i was doing great .
Now i,ve had a drink , the tight throat has gone , the breathing is fine , so it was me doing it to myself .
Not sure of the way forward now :shrug:, do i increase the citralapram ??, or just give myself a good kick up the arse in the morning and use the techniques here.....

I,m buggered if this anxiety (and drink :mad::mad:) is going to beat me this year but i,ve let myself down already on the 2nd of January .
I want my old self back .
RANT OVER , SORRY :blush::blush:
