Hi all
I am so sorry to trouble you but I really need some advice
from people who are in the same situation as me. I am a long term sufferer of severe anxiety and panic disorder with associated OCD and phobias. It has got so bad that I have now developed suicidal thoughts and when I'm having a panic attack I am now hallucinating. I went to see my GP last week, he knows me very well and is very kind. I told him I can't live like this anymore and we had a very long chat and he told me to try fluoxetine alongside diazipam. Then When the fluoxetine has started to kick in I can come off the diazipam. But I have one huge problem....one of my phobias is allergic reation to new things such as food or medicines. I have been carrying around the pills with me 24/7 because I'm so desperate to take them but so scared at the same time. I had a nasty reaction to penicillin once (blisters itching etc) and I'm scared this will happen again with these. Also I'm phobic about vomiting and I know the side effects include nausea.
Once again I'm sorry to cause bother but I really want to try and get better. :0(
many thanks in advance xxx
