Hi,
I have been diagnosed with GAD and have been taking Escitalopram 10 mg for the past one week now.
Please note , I am not depressed at all but I face a lot of anxiety , primarily the fear of fainting or losing control.
The medication has been of some help.The doctor said , that the SSRI will eliminate the root cause while an anti anxiety drug will only manage anxiety , hence an SSRI has been prescribed.
I was wondering , if I never will be my old self again ? Even after the course gets over will I be normal again.
I know the obvious answer is 'yes' but lets be honest , can anxiety just go away or does it need to be permanently managed.
I am ready to do anything , exercise , breathing technique , medication but I just want to be that fearless guy I was before.
Thanks
