Hi all,
It's been a while since I've been on here and I'm a bit lost and don't know what to do.
I have been suffering from panic attacks about losing control of my body for years. I eventually told somebody about it in early 2009, went to my GP and was put on Citalopram and given CBT. The combination of the two worked really well and I felt like I was invincible.
I stayed on Citalopram until the end of 2010. I didn't have any problems coming off it. Over the past two or three months I have started noticing a good number of my fears and niggles creeping back in such as worrying about walking down the middle of a long corridor for fear I will lose my balance, not wanting to hold a hot cup of tea because I might drop it and scald myself or someone else. At the moment I am still doing these things, but fear of losing control of my body while driving is really starting to inhibit which journeys I will undertake.
I just wanted some suggestions of where you think I should go from here. I am reluctant to start medicating too soon, but I don't want to get to where I was before the Citalopram and CBT.
Thanks in advance,
Steph xx
