Hello to everyone

[PoppyC]

Hello :)
I hope everyone is feeling as well as can be today. I am an anxiety sufferer of many years - in fact most of my life - 17-43 years old. I have dealt with it by natural therapies and a healthy non processed diet but have finally admitted defeat to dealing with it all myself and have started to take Citroplam and have been taking them for less than a week.
I had a nervous breakdown last summer which was horrific but I have come through that by self help and no meds.
I am looking forward to chatting and if I can be of any help to anyone then I would welcome that chance.
Poppy

Hello Jade
Thank you for your reply. I didnt have many panic attacks although I did have them occasionally. Not quite sure what your message meant? Do you mean as in how I feel now or back then when I had a breakdown? Sorry I can be a bit blonde sometimes...:blush: I have had every anxiety symptom going I am sure so if I can help in any way then I will.

Hello Laura :)
I too was prescribed Citroplam just less than a week ago and starting very slowly on them - 5mg building up to 20mg. I find so far the only side effect for me is the extreme tiredness. I must yawn about 1000 times a day! I also feel a little bit yukky but I definitely feel a little less anxious already, so I dont mind. I hope they work for you.
