Hello all,
Just a quick update to you all on my progress. Over a year without panic attacks now and still panic free, although i still get the occasional symptom i am virtually panic free. Ive done a fair bit of driving up and around the country, a nice 600 mile round trip to Bournemouth from Leeds last weekend was ok and no problems. Still going out to pubs and clubs and going to watch the footy. Working hard and may have a new job come Monday......
Still on medication though, which perhaps is the only downside, but it's only a low dosage and this is the highest amount ive been on(beta blockers-propranolol 40mg once a day) Ive got a review in a couple of weeks so maybe come off them after consulting with my doctor.
Me and my girlfriend did a bit of reminiscing last night and talked about my bad times, when i was agoraphobic and felt awful etc and looked how far i had come through this. It took me a while, but i eventually got on top of the panic attacks/anxiety and tried to get on with my life again.
Please email me if anyone wants a chat.
