Hi i found this site after looking up citalopram (spelling? not sure) which my consultant had reccomended as the next course of action if i was not coping as well as i had been.
Had breakdown near 3 yrs ago after stuggling with depression on and off since my late teens (43 now! thats shocking).
Had a month hospital spell and zispinfor a few months which i hated as my weight ballooned. 1st panic attack was triggered i think by extreme back pain 1yr prior to this which is brought on by stress and muscles locking as i clench everything up. I tried prozac again which had been successful some yrs previously for depression but the side effects this time were huge so i stopped.
A divorce and subsequent house move with both teenagers in tow followed shortly after and then i had a hysterectomy. I was doing well on no meds and felt pretty good. I used exercise, fish oils and st johns wort, and counselling to get though life. i am now finding life very difficult again due to just having got my son to leave home at 18and half.he has been very difficult to live with for much of the time (dope and cocaine use and small thefts, some may say not much but my house my rules) My ex is threatning solicitors tonight for making him leave. Oh and my Grandad died 10 days ago. My Panic attacts are infrequent but invariably take me to AandE. Currently I shake and shake a lot and cant breathe, but these are bearable. Hope some support is going to come my way...... i am quite quite desperate at the moment. Thanks for reading this. x
