I have been taking meds citalopram and amitryptiline since dec and it took me till this month to start getting my life back and doing normal things around the home, but signed sick from work. Anyway we had a dog on Wednesday and I have completely cracked again! In fact I don't even want to get out of bed . This is day 4 spent in bed and I can't cope with anything at all. My anxiety and panic are so bad it is debilitating me to the point I am a nervous wreck with all the symptoms. My children are suffering and my hubby is having to do everything. He must be stressed out. I wanted the bloody dog so its my fault but I've been reduced to taking a tranquiliser to calm down. Please help as I am frightened to death of my thoughts and physical feelings. Phoned dr on thursday and she just told me to take an extra amitryp. Spoke to counsellor on phone and he said it will pass if I tell myself this!?!? But I am not getting better. Keep retching also and feel so sick I can't eat much. Omg- what can I do?
