Be strong & don't give up! I'm on day 3 and I know it's horrible but nowhere near as bad as the anxiety. I'm lucky & have been given diazepam to take when it gets really bad though I'm trying not to touch it.
Stick around here you'll get some great support & will feel better soon xx

Oh, I went straight onto 10mg by the way.

Thanks loads for that!i am feeling great tonight but something tells me i am not threw it yet as i am quite worried about the dreaded Monday as i am back to work and it will be my first day of 10mg. i hope you get threw it without your diazapam Welldone you i think if i had the offer of it i would have given in yesterday!x

I know it's weird at times you feel great then the old panic sets in.... I have given in a couple of times but just knowing I have them helps, maybe mention it too your doctor?

Also I'm trying to work out the best time to take my cit, started about 6pm on the first day, 3pm on 2nd and 1pm today as I'm thinking if I take it in the mornings it will prob be better in the long run & my worst time of day will be evening rather then during work hours. Not sure if it will work!

Good luck!xx

I find talking mine in the morning works best i take it round 9 and seem to feel worse round 1 or 2 and feeling better for my daughtert comeg home from school but i may have to change to suit work times.i think ill be ok without the diazapam as i got it before for flying and it didn't really do any good but wine did the trick for me that day but don't think its safe to drink alcohol on these ?x

[bobbydazzler]

No, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to drink on them. I've given up drinking altogether as hangovers make my anxiety worse which is pants cos I like a bit of vino lol!xx
