I've had really bad anxiety for over 10 weeks and my doctor increased my citalopram to 40mg. I started to feel better for 2 weeks then got given new duties at work and in my mind I can't cope with it. I know I'm capable but this anxiety makes me think I'm going to balls it all up! Lost appetite and nerves back again. Any advice? Do you think I should see my doctor again?
So sorry love . Anxiety ruins everything. If you feel you are not coping then yes go back to the GP.. working with anxiety is horrible. I have started a new job and am trying desperately not to let anxiety ruin it for me. It's so hard getting through each day when you feel anxious and alone. Get all the help you can xxx
Elaine you should see your doctor again. Maybe he can find another medication. I go every 4 weeks to my neurologist and 2 x a month to my psychologist. I have been dealing with this crap since 2008. It started creaping up on me in 2004 but the blow out came in 2008. Diagnosed with anxiety and panik disorder, depression, fibro, gerd, IBS and BWS and LWS syndrome. Pretty much screwed. Lol. My anxiety is almost constant. Sometimes better and sometimes worse. Like a frigging rollercoaster. I hardly sleep any more. Wake up because of screwed up dreams and anxiety. I have a constant fear of dying. Ceased taking opipramol, which I had been on for years, about 6 weeks ago, because they really were not helping. Have switched to natural products now without much improvement however. Hang in there. It is not easy but we have to fight it.
