hi,,,i have suffered with panic attacks for 14 years but the last 3 years i have been feeling more and more anxious,and then in the last 18 months my dr says im agoraphobic,i can still go out but when im out i feel dreadful,anyway,iv tried cbt and that has not really helped,my dr has given me a prescription for sertraline 50mg but said i could start on 25mg if i was more comfortable with that,he has also given me a prescription for 5mg valium as about 12 years ago i was put on lustral which i believe is sertraline and it made my anxiety worse and i felt awful..i am scared to try it again as i never want to feel that bad again but i cant handle feeling like this either,i cry most days and hate myself as i cant do the things i want to do with my kids...i was wondering if anyone has taken this for agoraphobia and whether it has worked or not, i know everyone is different but id still like some info please...
thank-you kerry..
