[fedupofanxiety]

I'm on escitalopram 10mg and have been on them for 2 weeks now, in the last few days ive been feeling so much better still have anxiety but not half as bad. I havent had a panic attack in over a week which is so good for me. Then bang had a really bad one today managed to control it,but now i feel really on edge . Feel like its going to come back at anytime im so annoyed!! I wish it would go away, im trying so hard!!

sorry it came back. I am on the same dose citalopram as you and although it keeps me out of depression by lifting my mood a bit the thing which has made the biggest difference to the panic is a brilliant book by Dr Claire Weekes called 'self help for your nerves', published by Thorsons. This is available from the NMP Shop. Her work can also be downloaded free to your MP3 from the shop. I can not recommend this enough as it really explains what is happening to us, and how we can recover.

Take care
