Hi all,
I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember but it's getting worse and worse. A few months back I was put on to Sertraline and given a short course of Diazepam (amazing stuff, can see why it would be addictive!), the sertraline didn't work, if anything the side effects were horrendous (I was on Sertraline for 4 months), I've tried citralopram in the past and also Mirtazipine. Neither helped. Also had cbt twice and constantly try to use self help techniques. It's getting so bad I can barely leave the house before I feel sick as a dog, sweating, heart racing etc and it's worse in places I feel I can escape like on the bus, in a crowd. I also seem to have developed an issue with eating, especially in public. I have a fear I'm going to throw up in public and not make a toilet. My anxiety makes me feel so sick I did actually once throw up in a public toilet. Since that day about 5 weeks ago, it's just getting worse. Can anyone advise anything? Should I go back to the Dr? What else could I try to request maybe? I can't live like this. I must add that I do also have a toddler and had pnd at one stage and right now we have a terminally ill family member so the stress is high.
