I've been suffering from anxiety since October but after a month of taking cipralex 10mg for a month and klonazepam 3x daily since October I finally decided to just give them up and fight it on my own. It was scary at first. The meds take a little while to get out of your system so even though I wasn't taking them for a few days I still felt the same effect. About two weeks after I had a test in school and I woke up in a hot sweat and a panic attack but I just talked myself through it, had a smoke (Bad idea, don't suggest it) and went back to bed. The next day I felt shitty and felt like I wanted to go on the meds again. However, thanks to the advice of a friend I pushed through it and I've been anxiety free for two weeks. I actually feel normal again. So, hang in there guys. =/ If I can get through it, y'all can too!
