Back again

[Lisa2204]

Hi all

I have been on here before, maybe 4 years ago when I started with anxiety and panic attacks. I was very lucky my medication worked a treat and I have got through the last 4 years with little issue. However, I was wrong, I have been suffering anxiety and passing the symptoms off as anything else.

So, I am back and this time I won't be too quick to think I am cured. :blush:

Hi Lisa :welcome: back :)

We can all have relapses (I am having one too) but you have gotten better before and will get better again

Hi Lisa

Sorry to hear you are suffering again. Must be a pain after doing so well for such a long time.

When you were taking medication did you have any therapy like CBT??

I worry that if you take medicine alone, sooner or later your system become immune to it and you are back where you started.

I am thinking of CBT.

Any way you know your are among friends on this site.

All the best

Ed

Thank you for your kind words, I'm needing them at the moment :)

Ed, I was offered CBT when this first started and I went a couple of times but for some reason I can't get on board with it but I do agree with you, I think my citalopram isn't working the same anymore. I have been on it now for 4 years and up until 3 months ago i had consistently been on 20mg but then my doctor increased it to 30mg. It seems to be having little to no effect.

Take care

Lisa
