Hi,

I am Emma. I am 37 and suffer terrible anxiety and in particular health anxiety and I am awaiting a breast clinic referral for a lump. I know these tablets will not work in time for the referral but I need something as this is the 3rd legitimate health scare in 18 months so I need something to help me cope long term if and when I ever experience something again. I am also starting counselling next week.

My GP prescribed me Prozac but very nervous as tried sertraline last year on a mega low dose and had awful side effect of a huge panic attack a week in with all over flushing and numbmess in middle of the night. I was so so scared I vowed never to take it again. Then I tried Citralopram and experienced a weird side effect of out of body experience and then another huge panic attack that saw me in emergency dept for an hour.

So I fear this will do the same. Are there any good positive stories?
