Stage 2

[kizzie]

Hi just a little update really and a plea for any words of wonderful wisdom .

Im now 12 weeks back on to a higher dose of clomipramine after being on very low doses for the last couple of years. (I was on 10mg in the end - thats the equivalent of approx 2mg prozac/citalopram)

Went back up to 75mg after crashing back to depression and constant panic attacks. Am now slowly reducng back down to 50mg as this is the dose that has worked best for me in the past.

Had 2 months off work and was generally fairly desperate.

Now im functioning more, not crying so much and back working part time.

But im still struggling with waves of lows, anxiety and panic which im wrking hard to control.

So Stage 2 (trying to get back to normal rather than just through each day) starts here .....

(Sssshh I'm quite nervous writing this in case tempting fate )

Just wanted o say a big well done and good luck with stage 2!! Don't have any words of wisdom though - I try to keep busy but make sure I do lots of relaxing things like 'whale' music, candles around the bath, walks in the park etc to give my mind a wind down. Please share any top tips you've discovered for controlling your anxiety and panic

Thank you! And will definately post anything I find that helps x
