Hi all
I've suffered with anxiety attacks for about 4 years (officially, anyway) and at my earlier stages they were extremely severe. I'd been taking 60mg Citalopram for 3, or just over 3 years, and tapered down. I've been off them for about 4 weeks now. Last week I had an anxiety attack, which hasn't happened in a good 4 months. It was manageable, considering how bad they used to be, but has made me realise that I could do with a bit of something to help. I also get a bit of depression, although I think this is because of the Anx, I don't really know.
When I was 15-16, my mum bought me rescue remedies and i remember that helping me, but that's the only thing I've ever tried aside from the meds. I don't know if it's safe to use any natural remedies yet either, and how long it would take the citalopram to completely leave my system, although I am assuming it has by now.
Is it worth talking to my GP about natural remedies? I've read a lot about natural remedies and substitutes, and just don't know where to start...I guess I'm just looking for any advice, since I desperately don't want to go down the meds route again!
