Hi I'm hoping someone can help or advise.
I was diagnosed with GAD and Panic attack on 12/1/15 and have been sign off work until 22/2/15 and am getting mixed views as to when I will be able to return to work. I have been prescribed Imipramine and am supposed to take 150mg.
I'm a single mum and found when I took the full dose I was unable to wake up to take my child to school, so it has been a bit hit and miss with times and dose
My job is a high pressures sale role, lots of noise people and target and they are being far from understanding, phone call threatening disciplinary action and ignoring my request the contact be via email.
I am getting people telling me I just need to pull myself together and should be back at work and other saying work is probably the cause of a lot of the issues, however I have no support from the other parent either financial or practical so I have to provide for my son and I and with the GAD and medication am lost as to what I should be doing. I have an appointment with my doctor on the 20/2 and have asked for a telephone call from her for advise but I have work demanding I come in for a meeting which is causing panic attacks just at the thought.
Has anyone faced this and how did you deal with it.
thanks
