I have probably been anxious since I was a child. Developed into a natural worrier and once peri hit pure unadulterated panic and terror.
DaisyB this was/is me, absolutely. I accepted a low dose citalopram 18 months ago and is the best thing I did along with 12 months psychotherapy after some CBT. I also take a low dose beta blocker twice a day and this keeps me on an even keel.
I occasionally have a surge of anxiety which I know to be hormone related but overall it is under control now.
I was terribly scared of ADs but a kind member on this forum reassured me and supported me for which I will always be grateful (you know who you are) and my husband and I have a better life now. If you think this could help you don't be put off, talk to your GP. Good luck x
