I wonder if anyone can relate to my problem?
I have been on citalopram for 3 months, initially, they seemed to be working, but recently, the anxiety has come back big time, mainly I feel, since I have seen a bereavement counsellor since losing my father earlier this year with lung disease, I somehow feel as though the symtoms he had have manifested themselves in me! The counsellor said this is very common but it doesn't make it any easier when they arise, panic, breathlessness, heart pounding etc.
The counselling has stirred up feelings I had long forgotten of when my mum died suddenly when I was a teenager, she says this is normal and I can learn to work through them.
My very understanding GP has changed my medication to Prozac which I started this week but you can appreciate the anxiety until they start to take effect!
She also gave me some diazepam for "awkward moments" but as yet I haven't taken any, might do soon though.
I hope this makes some kind of sense, it's rambling I know, it's just so good to get off my chest, thanks for taking the time to read this.
