Thank you littleminnie. I've been taking the anti depressant Citalopram since April 2010, they are supposed to help with anxiety and reduce night sweats and that may well be the case as I sleep very well ( there is evidence that I do sweat at night but it never wakes me up). The dose was 20mg and in January this year it was increased to 30mg plus I was prescribed the Beta Blocker Propanolol, 10mg once or twice a day as required. My issue at the moment is that my anxiety has gone from being a bit cyclical, sort of two weeks of feeling not too bad followed by two weeks of feeling hellish to feeling hellish 24/7.
I'm interested to see that you've been using Everol Conti patches and they don't give you a bleed, that may be something I can mention to my GP.
If I knew that this unstable time is going to end fairly soon then maybe I could stick it out, work my life around my horrible feelings and look forward to a more normal existance, trouble is no-one can give you any guarantees and the thought that I may be stuck like this for years fills me with dread.
