I have been suffering with acute Anxiety over last two months and have been diagnosed as having PND / OCD. I have stupid racing thoughts and think its OCD. I worry about worrrying & obsessing if you know what i mean. My child is 5 months. I am currently taking 30mg of Cipramil, have been on this dose 2 weeks, was on 20mg for 4 weeks previous. The thing is I dont think they are helping with my Anxiety at all ;o( Can anyone else relation to my situation , anxiety is hell and feel if i dont get on top of it, i will end up depressed !!



How are you now StylishB....I don't know anything about cipramil but I was on lexapro and it took a good 6 weeks before I felt improved. I also suffered with anxiety...hope things have improved for you...i also did CBT counselling and found it brilliant for my anxiety

well i"m sure having the 2 weeks off is good for you but I'm suprised he/she didnt prescribe you with a mild anti depressant or at least recommend that you chat to a councellor. What do they think is going to happen after 2 weeks? is everything supposed to be magically better?
I was very lucky on the day I went to doc - I was seen by a lady who wasnt even my own GP but I guess because she was a woman she totally got it. She told me she had small kids herself and knows how hard it can be etc etc. To be honest I was blubbing my eyes out when I was telling her how I felt so she saw how bad I actually was. The only thing she asked me that took my by suprise was did I feel like I was going to hurt myself or the kids or did I feel suicidal (I suppose they have to ask with suicide being so topical lately). I emphatically told her no, I was just highly emotional all the time and didnt feel like I was coping etc.
Dont be afraid to be completely honest with the company GP and remember that anything you tell them is confidential..
Hope you get sorted x
