I managed to get more than 4 hours sleep last night (yay). I suffer from really bad panic attacks, so bad sometimes I cannot leave my flat, also I suffer from depression because of the panic attacks. I take propranolol for the panic attacks, and citalopram for depression. Yesterday I managed to go back to my doctor, as night times are terrible for me, palpitation's, shortness of breath, and when I do fall asleep, I have really bad nightmares, then I will wake up and vomit, and have a panic attack, all in front of my 4 year daughter.
so he prescribed amitriptyline to help me sleep, which I did.
does anyone else here take the same medication as me?:scared15:
