Its me!
So I'm suffering from GAD, Panic attacks and Depression,Agoraphobia... have had this on and off for a few years, though I think I was always depressed underneath and never got treatment for it.
I had a major breakdown about two months ago, started slowly with increased anxiety, then full blown panic attacks, vomiting, not being able to sleep, afraid of almost everything, at times agoraphobic, racing thoughts and pulse....etc. good times I can tell ya. Landed in the ER
Treatment started out with XanaX which helped the panic attacks but I had spikes inbetween doses that werent fun and STILL no sleep!!
Where I'm at now is not good but better than a few weeeks ago...
I got prescribed Citalopram, Trazodone and Klonopin...
Had been too scared to take the Citalopram (Celexa) and tried the "natural way yesterday with 5 htp, fish oil and vit Bs...ended up pooking and feeling horrible
I'm confused about this whole "natural route" anyway since there are never any real "guidlines"...Dunno just dont like it....(too bad after spending so much money on it)
So today after being massively depressed and anxious this morning, i am deciding to give the Celexa (Citralopam) a try...
I know there are side effects but I guess..I'm at that point where I got nothing to lose...
Oh and I do see a therapist once a week and have books about anxiety etc...
Its so sad I cant even watch a movie right now....cant concentrate too many highs and lows and crying for the stupidest little thing....
ugh....
So Hi here I am...
