I have been suffering from bouts of anxiety, panic and diarrhoea since Christmas. My panic and fear was getting quite debilitating and when I have loose stools in the morning too it makes life so hard to fight through.
Recently I think I've made good progress with the panic problems. Have read one of the Claire Weekes books and have been putting some of her suggestions into practise with pleasing results- though still some fears to conquer. After a great 10 days with minimal anxiety and normal bowels, I started a bout of morning diarrhoea. I am a bit of a baby I know, but with each passing day of this I get more and more upset and start to lose confidence in myself. Today I feel really down and angry about it. Will I ever feel right again!
GP prescribed me mebeverine on Friday and I have started drinking peppermint tea. Felt good yesterday but not good today so it's probably not going to work. Can anyone relate to all this rubbish?
Oh, I tried sertraline and citalopram briefly earlier in the year but couldn't sleep on sertraline at all and it made me vomit as well as feeling spaced out.
