Firstly may I say even after a 10 days on here there is so much to read that I am nowhere near a quarter way through.
I notice most people are on various SSRI drugs and as with all drugs everyone reacts differently.
I have been on countless numbers of these drugs but even though I acept they only subdue symptoms they just don't work for me.I am drug sensitive (according to various GP's)
I read horror stories on here about various degrees of anxiety yet most people who open up still seem to have learnt the knack of hiding their symptoms and in many cases work, go out and about and though many days are worse than others they cope.
I have anxiety 24/7, panic disorder and OCD and nothing helps me. I am married and have a family and after seeing various doctors,psychiatists and councellors I spend most of the day on my own. My wife cares but believes i am a hopeless case and to keep her sanity goes out during the day with either our dogs or her few friens.
I have had this condition for over 30 years and yet ran a successful business at one time and when things got tough adapted the business to suit my illness.
We don't have financial worries yet i have next to no quality of life and feel like an outsider in my own family.
Currently I take propranol and trankamazin and that just keeps me balanced within my own home.
I have tried going out gradually doing a bit more each time and it works only for the next day i am back to square one and remain housebound. Any advice would be appreciated.
