      Never self prescribe, it's signed by a doctor for a reason. Lots of tablets can have adverse effect if you up them too quickly, and need to gradually build up in your system so it could well be a result of doing that.

      Yeah that's what I was thinking, I was on amitriptyline a few year back which I thought were great but had to come off them as all I wanted to do was sleep but anxiety wise they were spot on

      I've had to cut drink out as the day after I would have a drink the panic attacks would be horrendous. .. I hate going out most days as I'm so scared and embarrassed that I'll have an attack in public x
