Just to say hi to everyone old and new. I started haveing panic attacks/Anxiety mid 2005 and quickly found this site and found it a massive help. I went to the docs and started taking citalopram 20mg and through the help from meg and nicola etc i made what i thought was a complete recovery by around mid 2006 , i started to come slowly off my meds around ten months ago. But now the anxiety is back with all those horrible symptoms , mainly this last fortnight , but i know it started a few months ago when i wrote my car off. Then recently i had some terrible news in the family and my concern over this person has kick started it all again. I have been back to the doctors and yesterday started taking citalopram again.
My palms are always sweating , fast heartbeat and i have only slept around two hours each of the last three nights. Last night i had 5mg diazepan and still slept only 2 hours and just lay there awake. A new symptom for me now is that a couple of times a day i get a full facial flush were my face and neck go crimson red , really annoying and embarrasing and the worry this has caused has made me worse i think. My girlfriend is having our fist child in april so i want to be a lot better by then. Anxiety sucks . Well sorry for boring you all :D and hope to hear back from you. Hello Again.

Sounds horrid, have you been to Dr? I know my face goes flushed and my skin goes ruddy, not to that extent tho. Am sure there is some explanation :)

Thanks guys for all your nice words. I have been to the docs and he says my flushing will be just a symptom of this horrible anxiety.
For all you are going out tonight then have a lovely time. I am going out , not really looking forward to it but its not fair on my girlfriend if i cry off.
Cheers
