Hi everyone (what a great website - wish i found this earlier!)
I have suffered from panic attacks in the past, but after 18months of a 'panic free' life I decided to come off the citalopram that I had been on for about 5 years. I did this in July this year.
Last week however I experienced an awful panic attack, completely knocked me for six. I have been signed off work for 3weeks for stress/depression/anxeity, and now back on the citalopram. Today is 7th day of taking them and i had forgotten how bad the side effects were.
I feel pretty low at the moment and alone. Im finding it extremely hard to get back to reality, infact I havent been out of the house over the last 2 days.
My panic attacks 5 years ago were not as strong. I mean this time round I cannot drive my car, or go into a supermarket without freaking out....
Im having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel:weep:
