Iv had a choking phobia and server panic attacks and server anxiety since i was 11 and im now 30, i have to have 24/7 care of my mam and dad .... Its awful but these tablets do make huge difference they make you clear headed and a still get anxious on them but not as bad as i used to .... Give it a few weeks hun

    Hi Kaleigh,

    Have you seen a psychologist as cognitive behavioural therapy may help you with your OCD. I am not in any way denigrating the use of medication. I am a nurse who suffers from chronic depression. Medication has helped heaps but so has some retraining about how I look at what people say or do. I don't liken my depression to a black dog but rather a deep well. I try to get out and be happy two steps up, I slide down one but I'm still getting better. Hope you have some great friends as a help team.
