    Hi I know anxiety increases when you begin a new med and its still early days but if your finding it unbearable maybe go back to your doctors and see if this is right 🌼

    Hi foxy3. Have you got a health food shop near you? Have you tried kalms?or rescue remedy? Have you tried reflexology? This is also very good for stress. You will not die from anxiety. Do you like hearbal tea? Chamomile and honey is very calming. Invest in a CD player in your bedroom with calm CDs ! Regards Amanda

      Hi sorry to hear that 💐 it could take anything up to 6 weeks but could be sooner it depends on the person and the doctors should have explained it gets worse before it gets better hold on in there it does take time been through this many times myself all the best for you to get well soon 😊

    Sorry foxy. I understand about being scared to go to work again.

    Don't give into them. Keep going to work and you will have good days as well as bad.
