I am very sad and dicouraged.
I have been taking citalopram for almost 5 weeks now and I just realized today that what I have been having has been Anxiety rather than Panic because today I had a "Real Panic Attack" that I had not had for ages.
I was asleep taking a nap and I woke up and upon waking I had the most intense burning sensation on my torso.
It was very intense and felt like my skin was burning. I have had this before but not this intense for a long time.
I was reminded of how horrible Panic is. I was also alone in the house.
I felt very discouraged about the medication working.
I had just started reading the first booklet of CBT4 Panic.
I thought the feeling was horrendous, how will I learn not to be scared of the next attack after this?
The worse part is that I don't know if the medication is making me feel better or worse...
If I stop taking it I may feel worse but if I don't quit I may feel worse too. I don't know.... Anyone in the same boat?
