I was on Cipralex for 5 and a half years up until April 2010, I used to have panic attacks but no doctor has ever told me that i suffer from anxiety.
I felt okish for a few months but over the past few weeks I have felt awful, Especially the last week or so.
I felt absolutely knackered all the time, I can have 9 hours sleep and i still feel tired when I wake up and within 2-3 hours I feel so tired that I yawn constantly and can even fall asleep, I keep worrying that i might keel over or fall unconscious.
I just feel weak and lethargic, I am also getting aches in my lower back, sometimes in my knees and I am having problems with my stomach.
My stomach problem is basically a bad ache/pain in the middle of my stomach, and i feel sick a lot, I also have problems with my appetite, I don't feel like eating recently but I do eat and I do struggle.
I also feel light-headed and sometimes a little dizzy, I am having these symptoms 24/7 more or less anyway.
I was diagnosed with Tonsillitis last Tuesday but can't see that causing all of these problems.
If my problems are down to anxiety they won't go away without medication will they?
I have 4 boxes of Cipralex in my house and I wish I could take them for a few weeks to see if they make me feel better, I was on them 5 and a half years and the doctor's not prescribing it frustrates me.
