I've been having a really bad time with my health anxiety and I'm finding it difficult to believe that my symptoms are just anxiety.
I've tried citalopram (managed 3 weeks) and escitalopram (managed a week and a half) in the past and had severe side effects which only made me 100x worse! After having bad experiences with these I've become scared of even taking paracetamol (stupid I know). For the past 4 months I've tried to overcome the anxiety without meds but I've gotten so bad that I've been having suicidal thoughts as I can't take anymore of this. I went to the doctors yesterday and she wants me to try Clomipramine 10mg with the view to increase after a week. I'm just so scared of what side effects I might have. Has anyone else tried Clomipramine and were there side effects? please help! I'm desperate!
