Hiya everyone, I've never used a website like this before,I've seen many of them and been too shy to step out and say anything so this is a first for me.
I'll try keep this short for a first question.
6 weeks ago i recently quit smoking and stopped taking Citalopram with Amitriptyline, I've been on Citalopram itself a good portion of four years and smoked roughly the same amount of time.
During this 6 week period I've had unpleasant days, and a whole host of symptoms. From coughing up dark blood tinged and tarry phlegm, caught tonsillitis, repeated respiratory problems,my hearing's slightly blocked in one ear,nausea and vertigo/dizziness, my eyesight seems blurrier and distorted when i take my glasses off, outbreaks of panic attacks from doing simple things or when i have drunk alcohol, terrifying moments of thinking the worst and feeling certain danger,repeated headaches and migraines,constant head pressure from slight to extreme in my temples to entire face. i feel like I'm almost on edge all of the time. i probably should be used to those sensations related to the anxiety but it doesn't matter how many times it happens, it scares me to death and the worse it gets i find myself not wanting to go out, nor talk to people and stay secluded which before i was diagnosed with chronic depression i was bouncing about and go lucky!
Right now I'm waiting on going to see therapy and counseling, and syringing for my blocked ear. i'm just still after all this time i've had it, find it so hard to cope with anxiety and panic. what can help?, is there anything that can stop panic attacks happening so often?
