Hi Tasguy,

I know what you mean! I've also been introduced to a new medication after an onset of depression with my existing anxiety which is a Tetracyclic antidepressant. Whilst my anxiety hasn't been overly effected, the physical symptoms have been very uncomfortable. I'm only on day 4 of taking it, but wanting to stick it out as I'm hoping this medication will help.

Good luck with your journey!

Hi Jojo82,

I wish you well with your journey as well. Medication does help, there are also many other strategies and ideas you can use to help yourself as well.

Some Drs recommend a healthy diet, exercise, time in the sun, doing positive activities, keeping in touch with people and working on positivity help.

I do realise there are some days when these things just don't seem to be viable or don't work so well. That is when I tell myself I can accept today for what it is and try again tomorrow!

Cheers to you from Dools

That's one of my problems I don't have hobbies I do play football but haven't since my panic attacks and I enjoy going to the gym but since my new panic attacks started there is a place I avoid hoping my new meds change that
