Hi there,
Where to start. This is my first post
I have been suffering from anxiety, panic attacks etc for roughly 17 wonderful years. I finally got a psych appointment which I attended yesterday.
The diagnosis was GAD, OCD and agoraphobia. Psych has prescribed me the preg 25mg 3 times a day. I am currrently on mirtazapine 45mg which he wants me to taper off.
Of course being the anxious person I am, I rifled straight through to the side effects and am nothing short of freaked out. About a month ago the doctor tried changing me onto paroxetine, and within 3 hours I was literally climbing the walls, acutely manic with severely heightened anxiety. I had to stop taking them immediately.
I have read a lot of the posts on here, and am aware that I am starting off on a very low dose, however am still really worked up. I have been staring at the new pills all day and just can't pluck up the courage to take one.
Anyone have any words of wisdom?
Thanks
