Hi there

I am new to the site & have been taking cipralex for 4 weeks now - 10mg but after having a good week (in the scheme of things) I woke at 2am 2 nights ago having a panic attack and I am still feeling extremely anxious. i really thought the tablets had worked so I am now back to feeling lonely and disappointed and scared that there is no cure or way out form this horrible place.

How long before the tablets will be working? anyone had a similar experience?

My consultant suggested gong up to 15mg but I had terrible side effects and am scared of increasing incase they come back. The chat room guys were helpful yesterday. Has anyone increased their dose and not had side effects come back.

Anyone got a magic and fast way out of this torment?

Phoebe

Give your tablets another few wks
They can take up to 6 wks before you feel any difference
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Take care.

Thanks Kellie - all a bit of a struggle at the moment - I guess my fear is they won't work & then what!

Thanks for your advice
