Hi everyone.
I am new to this site and i am desperate for someone to talk to about my anxiety and panic attacks. Looking back now i realise i have suffered panic attacks most of my life but until around about 6 weeks ago i didn't realise them so much and now i have the anxiety too. I was put on 20mg of Citalopram 5 weeks ago after i had a really bad episode of panics and anxiety. They really affected me and scared me but i learned ways to manage them and i started to feel alot better..even back to myself maybe. I was so proud of myelf for a few weeks but these last two days i feel back to square one:weep:. I feel VERY anxious on a morning and have panics all through the night as i did before. I feel i can cope alot better with the panic attacks as they pass but the anxiety is really bothering me and i can't shift the feeling. Is this normal to feel so bad again after feeling better for a few weeks? have i gone back to square one or is this just a blip? Do u think i would benifit from increasing my dose or will it pass on it's own? sorry for all the questions but need reassurance :blush:
Many Thanks
