hi all, my names Carl and I'm new to NMP.
I've suffered from social anxiety off and on since I was in my teens and in my 40s now so its been a bit of a long haul. This along with health anxiety has really held me back over the years.
Anyways for a number of years I felt much better whilst taking seroxat which I came off around 5 years ago and continued to feel well for a couple of years after stopping.
However in the last 2 or 3 years things have gone haywire again, everyday I wake up in a state of fear and I can't seem to shake it off. I've tried CBT, setraline, venlaxafine and a method found on the net none of which have helped.
So yesterday, after twisting my drs arm, I got put back on seroxat and I hope I'm going to get my life back now, side effects are making me feel awful but underneath it all theres a little positivity there I haven't felt for a long time.
Anyways sorry for rambling, and once again hello to you all :)
