25 y/o male, have had anxiety for about 15 years, accompanied by depression for 7 years, and severe OCD for 3, my life is a topsy turvy style of events and I'm constantly in fear of having a heart attack now(new symtomatic series)

I'm on anti-depressant = Escitalopram and Valium as and when required, I'm just looking for some reassurance, it's hard to find a partner without having to in the end explain these 'conditions' ...and then they run for the hills!! Lol.

Thank you for reading.

Billy.

There is someone for each of us. Someone who accepts you and your condition and helps by listening and caring.
You may need to up the dose or switch AD's if you're still having allot of symptoms. They often us luvox for OCD here but any ssri may help. I do best on good old fluoxetine(prozac) and have tried zoloft, celexa and lexapro. Prozac helps the most with fewest side effects...........for me. Ask about upping the dose or trying another ssri. Raising the dose is often the best thing to try. I also use valium and find it a great med. Alankay.
