Hi Danie and welcome

Hi Danie. That's a lot on your plate to have concerns about your job, a kid on the way and panic attacks. No wonder you are a bit stressed. What are you doing to try to address your panic and anxiety? Do you see a therapist?
Hi there no haven't seen a any one for a long time now I was in the clear 6 years ago after taking ciltroprham for or a year it just hit me out of the blue 2 nights ago and haven't been able to eat since I went to see the doctor today and got some diazepam and stomach tablets to try and help than if no improvements in a few days back on the meds. Trying to avoid if I can because the last time I took them they did work but the 1st couple off weeks were a living nightmare. Any advice would be much appreciated
Sometimes pregnancy can cause some emotional issues -- hormonal changes, etc. Maybe that has something to do with it. When's the baby due? Obviously, check any meds you are thinking about taking with your Ob/Gyn to make sure they're OK to take while pregnant.Originally Posted by Rednaa
sorry if I miss lead it's my wife who is pregnant I am a 30 years old male I just realised I left the l at the end of Daniel
Well, my wife would say that guys go through hormonal changes too -- we are just not as quick to admit it!
In all seriousness, I do think that expecting a baby can be a stressful time -- probably more so for the woman, but also for a guy. Life changes after you have a kid, as you probably already know if it is not your first kid (or you are about to find out if it is...)
While the added responsibility can be stressful, I also found it -- in a strange way -- helpful in overcoming my own anxiety. When I was at my worst (which was pretty bad), one of the things that made me push myself really hard to get past it was the knowledge that I had obligations to my family. If it were just me, I might have given up and crawled into a hole of despair. But I could not do that because my kids depended on having a stable home life, a good income, etc. Sometimes having others depend on you can be a good motivator to do the really hard things that are necessary to get past anxiety (or depression), etc.
If you do go back on some meds, maybe talk with your doc about starting with a very low dose and gradually moving up. I think that sometimes helps with the initial side effects (though I am not an expert).
Good luck. And congratulations on the kid. That is exciting. Even if you are not the mom....

Did you take meds I am still looking at my clitropham deciding if to take them or not I haven't eating properly in 4 days now they did work for me last time but I can't remember if it was because I was so new to panic attacks and couldn't understand what was happening to me if that made my side affects worse and maybe this time it won't be as bad because I understand more this time round basically I scared shitless to take them but I have a week off work so I feel the pressure of now over never because I couldn't afford more time off .
