Been reading on this site for a while and thought I'd finally join up. I'm 49 and have been anxious for most of my life which I've just accepted. Since Christmas my anxiety has boiled over and I get panic attacks driving or standing in queues!?
My GP is great and I've been on 50 mg of Sertraline for 5 weeks which has helped a bit but not completely. She wants to get me up to 100mg but I've had such bad heartburn recently that I haven't increased yet. I take lanzoprazole and the GP has told be to take 2 a day for a couple of days to see if it controls the acid and nausea before we try an increase or a change of med.
Anyway, I am wondering if I'll ever feel well again!
Have started CBT, and in a couple of weeks she's taking me shopping, and is going to let me have a panic attack! Apparently it is going to prove some things to me and help. Yikes.
Anyway, that's where I'm at. Nice to finally join up.
