Anxiety symptoms? ?

Posted , 8 users are following.

Along with the racing heart beat, shakes, constant fear of dying or going crazy does anybody else get a feeling of being detached from their own body and everything around them is unreal?

I cannot explain this very good but when ever I go out I sort of feel trapped in my body I look around and houses seem to be in 2d nothing seems real and then the panic attack hits me.

Does anybody else get this or am I really going crazy

      Yep I havent been out since friday.

      Had to phone in sick for work as my anxiety at the moment is sooooo bad when I try to go out.

      lots say 20 mg is the therapeutic dose, but i dont know whether to increase or wean myself off, cos im afraid to get more horrible side effects again, and in the end the med wont work for me,
