Hi Everyone
I have just joined i cant beleive i found such a great site. Im not mad after all! There are other people who suffer from panic attacks and its so nice to know I can talk to other people as none of family understand neither does my gp he is crap and justs keep giving more medication.
I am 30 years old and have a 2 year old son we live in kent. Most of my anxiety started in my early 20's I took a lot of coke and e's which was a stupid thing to do as i developed panic disorder so bad I was outpatient at hospital where i had cbt everyday aswell as a lot of medication. That changed my life and I was fine for years had a couple of relapses and have been on prozac for 4 years 20mg. Unfortunately i was very stupid and took some coke a couple of weeks ago on a night out and my panic attacks are back with a vengenance different from before. I am actually quite scared as these are some of the worst ive had funny taste in mouth,hands shaking,upset stomach, horrible thoughts the list goes on! My doctor has suggested I take cipramil and come off the prozac but im too scared mainly because of the side effects.Anouther doctor suggested i go up to 40mg of prozac so I dont know what to do.As for beta blockers or diazepam when i take them i have even worse panic attacks.if anyone has any advice it will be much appreciated.
Thank you Ruth:)
