hey,

ive been on cit for just over 5 weeks now. ive been up and down feel like being on a rollercoaster. i have still been having anxiety here and there mainly when i wake up and if i have some appointments to go to. i get very anxious when i go to the dr. because he makes me feel like im wasting his time. im pretty sure i suffer from health anxiety and panic attacks.

just wondering has anyone else felt like this after 5+ weeks from being on it. i do feel a bit happier and most of my physical symptoms have gone. has anyone else had palpations? im sitting here feeling a little anxious but i dont know what for its just come on all of a sudden! ah anxiety sucks!

    hey guys,

    just lookin for reassurance! i know it sounds stupid and you probably all have had it but do you get the feeling something is in your throat and someone choking you? i dont feel that worried about it( in the back of my mind i am though) but i dont feel anxious is this just another side effect from the anxiety or cit? i cant help but slightly think im going to choke but i know it will be fine. its weird but thats how i feel.

    Good Morning Cassandra,

    Haven't gone anywhere, still here.

    I have had roughly a days downer a week for the past three, so I decided to up my med to 40mg onn Sunday and see how things go. Buzzing is back and dreams too, although at the mo I can cope with them. I just hope it is the side effects with the increase and it will again settle down because, this is my limit now. I just want to level out and mend!

    Mind you the forum seems a little quite these past 5 days! I wonder if everyone is getting better? Mind you there have been one or two I cannot comment on having only been here 4 months and don't have the experience to comment. (Or I don't want to! LOL!).

    Things with you okay?

    Regards,

    David

      glad your still about! i hope you start feeling better. i upped my meds to 40mg aswell last week ive had a few bad dreams here and there. still anxiety a bit and the palpations. which at the moment i have a 24 hour halter monitor so we'll see what the results are in a week or so.

      yes it does seem a bit quiet and im like you i read them and if i dont have any experience i just dont respond. its amazing what other symptoms people have suffered with anxiety there is a wide range!

      glad to hear from you tho!
