The website 'anxiety no more' has a good section about setbacks. I found it very comforting/helpful and have read it many times.
I am on 30mg of Cit and week 20.
Just remind yourself that this is a temporary setback and that you can and are getting better.
best wishes

You asked how I was doing. Pretty well, thanks.
I started on cit following a serious illness which left me with anxiety and panic attacks. I had stopped going out completely...which isn't normal for a shopaholic!
Four months on the old me is almost back. I am back at work and I go out shopping. I only do one big thing a day as I find rushing about as I used to is no use at the moment. If I don't try to pack too much in, I don't panic and the anxiety is minimal. It is still there now and again though. I don't think that I could now get really anxious but sometimes it just reminds me that it is there in the background. I still have a little way to go.
I'm just an ordinary person so if I can make progress, you can too.
