Good morning anxiety fans :)

I'm currently one month in to Citalopram treatment and I am, dare I say, having a few better days here and there. Still feel like I can't breathe most of the time and I am still annoyingly lightheaded BUT I did manage to talk my way into a chest x-Ray which fortunately came back normal yeah

Just today started a higher dose if the citalopram and I am still hopeful of a state of normality being reached just got to attempt to stay strong and positive (easy ire said than done I know).

Thanks for reading and best of luck to all cool

Dear Panic'in, This morning I woke up with the same feeling of not being able to breathe. I knew that it was anxiety rearing it's ugly head so I finally got out of bed at 5a.m. and got on my exercise bike to get my mind off of it. After all, if you are exercising and raising your heart rate you MUST BE BREATHING ok! I also sang songs...silly, I know, but it helped and made me breathe deeper. I still feel somewhat tensed up now that I'm at work, but doing OK. Thought I could really be on the edge of a nasty one, so I'm happy enough that I can deal with it now.
Best of luck on the medication!
Take care and be calm :-)
