Hi All,
I am sorry if this post comes across as being overly worried... I suppose it's just the way some of us with anxiety are. :)
My doctor has prescribed me a dose of 10mg of Seroxat per day to help ease my anxiety, which I've suffered from for years, but now mostly consists of lots of hyperventilation rather than the overwhelming sense of panic.
Neither I nor he were keen on giving it to me (I've also been referred to the mental health nurse for CBT), but for the sake of getting on with my life and job in the short-term, I thought I might as well give it a go.
I realise many, many people take anti-depressants at a higher dosage, but what are the chances I'll take these for a little while to feel better, then feel just the same as I did before - or worse! - after I come off them? =/
I'm only 24 and the last thing I want to do is rely on anti-depressants to get me by.
Any advice really appreciated.
Thanks.
