Hi guys, im in a bit of a bad place at the moment.
I came off Venlafaxine about 2 months ago as the side effects were messing with me and i wanted to see what life what would be like 'pill free'.
Since then i have been suffereing with anxiety and panic attacks increasingly, and to make matters worse ive contracted some kind of virus from an insect bite.
Its got to the point where i dont know which symptons im suffering from are from being ill and which ones are anxiety based.
Even leaving the house brings on a panic, and i have had them at home aswell.
My doc is keen for me to start taking citalapram to combat the anxiety.
The thing is im reluctant to start it as Venlafaxine (and especially coming off it) wasnt pleasant. I'm also panicking about side effects.
I feel like im mentally falling apart, is Citalapram usefull for anxiety/panics, and roughly how long does it take to to start working?
I apologise if all this has been asked before, i just need a bit of help.
Thanks
