Okay, here goes..
I started my job almost 9 months ago, was please that i'd found a job and i hadn't had a panic attack in that time. Always been worried about shops, but i set my target higher and went for it, got the job, loved it but then...
I had my first panic attack of 8 months, i couldnt concentrate on the customers, my boss, money i was putting in the till, what the customers were asking me, it waa horrifying, i ran off out the back and shakily sipped a glass of water... While the backup fridge and freezer was kicking out more heat then you could imagine.. there started my life of hell, yet again! Went to the doctors, he put me on Diazepam (didn't work) we then tried, Cilitapram (didn't work cos i was to stubborn to try, wanted to give up) Last thursday, he gave me Flouxetine... was bugged by my boyfriend to take it, so monday just gone, i did. Is it weird to say i dont think they have kicked in yet? Is it normal to not want to go out? I used to drink alot, as im only 20 and i love being out with my friends, cos i cant drink on these.. im becoming what i assume to be paranoia about having one sober... my mum and dad are beginning to worry, but im waiting to see how i feel, before i go out.. i've only had drowsiness and a little pain in my chest as side effects, thats all, so that answers everyone else's questions on the side effects, im running out of options.. i losing the will to live.. please help! Just need some helpful advise :(
