Hi, I'm new here, sorry if this is long, 3 years ago I had a bit of a breakdown after my hubby almost drowned on holidays, got really bad anxiety and panic attacks, went on citalopram and after a few horrible months recovered completely. Fast forward to now, anxiety is back :( bit different though this time, no PA's but really bad muscle tension in my chest and abdomen causing on times really bad pain. just hoping Someone else has had this cos i feel so alone. Docs have now doubled my dose of citalopram to 40 mgs, only about 2 weeks ago so don't know if its had time to work yet, i know though that this is NOT the answer. have some good days when i can feel the tension but more or less ignore it to some extent. I am physically unable to relax once i get tense that seems to be me done for, i think i may also be a bit depressed as I simply haven't the energy for anything anymore, house is a tip which gets me down but seriously can't motivate myself to sort it out. Have 3 teenagers so they are aware and I try to act as normal as I can, also from DH cos he works away a lot. just seems like no-one understands what it's like unless they've been there. any help please????
