Hi all, I've been suffering with anxiety around 4 years now since a traumatic experience I had whilst taking drugs. From then onwards I started having anxiety and panic attacks trying to figure out what happened to me that night. I managed to overcome the panic attacks and lead a pretty 'normal life'. Anyway I've been in Australia the last year travelling with friends and my anxiety started about a month before I came back home to the uk. I've been at home 2 months now and I have really spiralled since being back, coming back to family problems and just generally felt odd since I've been home. Was put in cit10mg for 1 month and it's been increased to 20mg around 4 days ago. Throughout the day I'm going through big ups and downs but mainly feeling worse! Anyone know how long it will take to feel the benefits from the increased dose? I feel like I have no one to talk to so hoping this forum will help. My mum stuggles with mental health issues herself so don't want to worry her and my dad (who I love with) is a very positive person who doesn't understand it (again don't want to worry him) feel hopeless most of the time at 21 years old! Im usually very social, have lots of friends and enjoy going out at weekends but I just don't feel like doing anything anymore and I can't let them know I'm feeling like this because I for some reason see it as a weakness? Sorry about the length of the post just need to get things off my chest! Thanks.
