Hi I started getting random panic attacks last year they started getting worse, I ended up having a break down couldn't leave the house felt so ill really anxious couldn't stop crying! I ended up in hospital they gave me dizapam which really chilled me out! Saved my life. Went to docs the next day and was giving 10mg citalopram I got a few side effects couldnt eat or sleep and started crying more made me feel a bit more depressed, I only stayed on them 3 weeks and stopped! The last year I just take propranolol when needed but I know it's not going to cure me I still feel low don't want to do anything anymore keep pushing everyone away! I snap at everyone all the time I have broken sleep feel anxious a lot! Should I maybe try citalopram again but stick it out this time? Has it helped anyone get back to there old self? I just want to be me again I start counselling in January but I don't think it will be enough for me. Any positive reviews on citalopram would be great?

I've just done my cbt course that my doctor put me on it was a big help! Ur be surprised how good counselling is! Since I've done it I've learned how to cope better! Sounds like ur anxious about being anxious if you what I mean. Ur fearing the next panic attack! Well that's what I get like but u gotta take urself away from that u gotta think well ok this is me and am understanding what my body is doing and am just gonna let it do it's thing.
It's hard I no but I've trying to read up and educate myself about anxiety and panic, have a read up and it might make you feel better

i used to be on one of the older ones sadly it cardio toxic so i had to come off. However after many discussion with psychiatrist i was prescriber sertraline and it helps me whereas others dont. But i am also aware this doesnt work for many others , mine had an effect on PTSD type symptoms within 48 hours so i stuck with it.
you need to see a psychiatrist they specialise in medication for heads!!
yep i agree the old benzo worked but a 100% addictive i have 2.5mgs at night and know i m stuck with it but it eases the nightmares.
keep hunting trying and take the counselling
good luck
