I feel like I am going backwards. More nausea. Panic is back like it was before is this normal. I know to expect ups and downs but this feels really a huge step back.
Anyone have words of wisdom for me? This is agony

I've been exactly the same . Just going into my 4th week and although anxiety hadn't been as bad last night was awful. Heart racing, anxiety really bad no appetite again . Had to cancel plans with family , just feel like it's taking over my life. I know it's still very early days for me , so fingers crossed things will get easier for all of us Xx

Hi Tina, I'm going to ser my Dr tomorrow. When starting med he gave me no indication of side effects. If it hadn't have been for this forum i would've thought i was going crazy! I'm on 20mg . Think i need to give it longer, but when each day doesn't seem to be easier than the one before it's hard to imagine feeling better. It's reassuring reading others have experienced same, and are now feeling much better. And like i said i really hope that will be us soon xx

Hi Tina , saw Dr and felt more positive and reassured. He said all side effects I'm experiencing are normal for this med and in time they will ease. He hasn't upped my dose still on 20mg, he said it's still early days, and has given me a prescription for another month then back to see him again. I was due to start cognitive behavioural therapy today, but due to a mix up with appt it's now next week . Hope you're feeling better today, it's so hard to cope with the rough days. Take care Xx

I'm in the same boat too Mell. 3 or 4 days ago I had the worst day ever going in to week 5. Felt like jumping off a bridge. Had never felt anxiety like it before in my life. The days since have been better and we all have to just stick with it. If it can make us feel that much worse then just think how much better it is going to make us feel on the rebound in later weeks.
Drink chamomile tea, eat walnuts, spinach, yoghurt, broccoli, oats, almonds, salmon, avocado and it will all help you to the next stage.
Avoid sugar, caffeine, cake, chocolate etc ... a bit difficult at Christmas I know.
