Hello everyone.
I've been suffering from anxiety for 2 years and depression for a lot longer.
My anxiety means I get persistent thoughts that won't go away - they can last for months at a time before they get replaced with a fresh worry.
My anxiety really started when I was wrongly diagnosed as hypothyoid - given thyroid medication and then became slightly hyperthyroid. I am now off the thyroid medication but still anxious.
I took cipralex for 6 months and came off it when I started feeling better - although I still had some anxiety.
I have just ordered some mindsoothe a St Johns Wort supplement - hoping that will help. If it doesn't I'm back on the Cipralex - although I am frightened as it made me worse to begin with and I really don't want my anxiety to be any worse than it already is.
