Can't cope anymore

Posted , 5 users are following.

I've been feeling unwell for a couple of months and I don't want to live anymore! I'm getting no answers to why I am feeling like this! Panic attacks horrendous anxiety feeling sick no appetite feeling detached. I'm on mirtazipine and citalopram and I don't know whether the medication is making me ill....I've been on citalopram for 7 years and mirtazipine a year....I panic constantly and have been like this for months!!!!

    Hey Pamela, I know exactly how you feel I went through the worst panic attacks and anxiety ever made me go to E.R. at least twice a week went to cardiologist a gastro a natural healer and nothing helped I didn't believe them I was convinced I was dying or that there was something wrong with my heart I would get dizzy spells stomach problems breathing problems even weird eye problems I would feel numbness tingling and every test came back fine I was healthy but I in my mind was not they were missing something they had to be. I felt helpless scared depressed thinking is this how I'm going to be forever? I don't I can't be like this forever finally through prayer faith in God I woke up one day and said NO enough is enough I started changing the way I think fighting the anxiety back and calling it for what is it was getting angry and saying not today anxiety I will have a good day and if something happens I trust god and his will. Now I'm better at controlling myself and my thoughts I still get the negative thoughts the weird feelings but I remind myself that I am okay I am fine and change my thought process and talk myself out of a attack and I usually can. Don't give up reading others stories has helped me tremendously knowing there are others like me with same symptoms I am not alone you are not alone.

    Best wishes,

    Hi Pamela,

    I see you are going through a stressful time. I have been taking citalopram for over ten years and had to change quite a few before I could manage to get by. Tell your doctor about what you are going through so he/she can determine if you need a change of medication. You shouldn’t feel like you are if the medications are working properly. You hang in there and get some help for yourself.
