Four weeks ago heartburn triggered a Panic Attack as i thought it was my heart (sound familiar??) Saw my GP after a four day Panic Cycle, Prescribed 2mg Diazepam to get me out of that, worked a treat but ever since i have had extreme Anxiety, Went back to GP and was Prescribed 10mg of Citalopram, Took me a while to pluck up the courage to start them, (Spent about two weeks trying to deal with this naturally) anyway i took my first one and felt like i was losing my mind severe side affects constant panic and irritability, erratic thoughts, took a second dose the next day same feeling, now i'm petrified to start again!!

There is nothing I can say that you haven't been told.except that I went to see a hypnotherapist and he gave me allot of strength to get over allot of negative thoughts.pills will only mask the problem .they are very good when they get in your system,but it is a battle as your body will reject them. Try your CBT course that will give you a idea what you are dealing with and tell you that you are not alone.20 years ago the reason why most people would lose time from work is bad backs. Now its stress and anxiety. Its all over the TV now .corri.seek out advice and talk to people ,Dont bottle things up good luck mate my heart goes out to you

I know this is over a year old, but yeah, those side effects mean that your body/brain doesn't like the drug. I hope you went back to your GP and found relief in some other medication!
