please help! extreme panic / anxiety disorder as well as an intense fear of vomiting.

Posted , 3 users are following.

was recently prescribed (10mg) of Cipramil to help with my anxiety attacks and have been on them for four days. Need some help because I've been having really severe panic attacks with, chest tightness, tremours, sweaty hands, shaking, nausea, dizziness, hyperventalting. The attacks are very frequent, probably every hour and I have missed 3 weeks of school now. I keep googling stuff to see what is wrong with me since I can't tell myself the symptoms are anxiety. Please help has anyone felt this way? I also cannot bring myself to eat because I'm so nauseous and since I'm emetophobic, I panic even more when I feel nauseous which just makes it worse. Pease help!

    Hi, accirding to the side effects if this drug, you are experiencing toxic side effects, and this medication is not right for you. Please reseaech the side effects and causions of this drug. It clearly says you should stop taking this medication, and then contact your physician. These have lactose in them and are not for those who are lactose intolerant, and extreme caution is used those under age 25. The symptoms you are describing are dangerous and toxic side effects, and you must find the right medication if any for yourself and have a dictor who works with you on finding the one that is not toxic.

    If your symptoms started begore the medication, possibly you need to increase this, or it takes a few wks to get into your system, or they could have a toxic effect on you..try at least eating dry crackers, and chicken soup to help with nausia..if you are allergic to lactose, this medication has lactose in it. Please do call your nurse or doctor to talk this over asap.

      not allergic to lactose.... I fear as though it may be heightening my anxiety and the anxiety is made worse from over thinking about taking the tablet. I have had these symptoms for over 6 months now before starting medication
