Hi all,
I have been suffering with anxiety and panic for years now - on and off and the latest episode has just begun after I started a new job.
It's so frustrating as I had been doing so well up until then and I feel disappointed with myself for getting myself in to the anxiety and panic circle again.
Basically I feel anxious all day everyday and have at least one panic attack a day. My main symptoms are constant feeling of dizziness (more like disorientation), heart palpitations and shaking.
GP has just prescribed Propanalol but I am hesitant to take them. It's the first time I've had them - last time I was given Citalopram which seemed to help with the panic but didn't help with the dizziness which stuck around for about 9 months.
I'm desperately trying to deal with this with postive thoughts etc but feel like I am being beaten - just so tired and worn down by it so I have started to take the Propanalol over the last few days - only 20mg a day but they don't seem to have much effect.
I'm going to try and get busy today and hopefully that will take my mind off of it for a while. Will log back in later.
Pleased to have found this forum.
