hiya are you on any medication ? if so how long have you been onit for?
i have just started taking propanol and sertaline been on them for about 2 weeks
in the first few weeks or more your anxiety can get worse when you start new meds. ask your doctor for some lorazepan they really help me calm down when I need them. if you don’t inprove in another 2 weeks or so may need to increase your sertraline to see if that helps
thank you very much i will speak to my doctor i have never felt anything like this b4 it really is scary at times thanks for replying to me much appreciated
lorazepan has been a life saver for me at times until my meds kicked in. shouldn’t take them for more then 4 weeks as you can become addicted to them but hopefully in the next couple of weeks your meds would of kicked in and your feeling better. are you in the UK?
hopefully my doctor will prescribe me some tomoz because i have been really bad the last 2 days. and yes im in the uk i live preston lancashire. how about you?
he should do If u tell him your struggling . yeah I’m in UK Portsmouth
got an appointment today so fingers crossed and i dont feel as bad this morning. portsmouth nice never been down those ways hope yuu have a lovely stress free day
morning glad your feel bit better today. fingers
for you. let me no what he says. have a lovely day
yeah i will do and thanks slept a bit better so feel more refreshed going to take my dog on a long walk now aswell clear my head x
hiya how did the doctors go?
he didnt want to give me the lorazepan but gave me 5mg diazepam which has worked a treat tonigt only 5 days worth though just to calm me at night feeling much better today hopefully same tomoz hope your feeling good also ![]()
