View Full Version : Hi everyone
:smile: Hi everyone. I'm over 50 and suffered from anxiety, depression and panic since I was a teenager. I'm much better generally but still have terrible panics sometimes, mainly on holiday (particularly abroad ) and when recovering from illness eg coughs, colds and flu. I find that lots of things help a bit. I find yoga , aromatherapy, CBT and acupuncture particularly helpful at the moment. I'm very confused about medication. I'm on Sertraline but have found that antidepressants have given me horrific anxiety/panic when you start or change them, which no-one ever warned me about. Interested to know if anyone else had similar experiences.
Hi Serena
New myself but welcome to the forum. Interesting you say about holidays and travel abroad, I tend to suffer more when on holiday or travelling abroad. Apart from that and Monday's I usually have it all under wraps.
I never did get on well with SSRI meds, I gave up after 6 weeks, but exercise seemed to be the key for me with regards to coping with anxiety and panic.
Never tried CBT due to it being unavailable in my area, but I hear it works wonders.
