Its nice to be able to read positive comments from people in the same situation as myself. Now I'm on my second day taking the tablets, so hopefully in a month or so I will be able to see some benefits from it. I wondered if anyone also suffers with high blood pressue as well as panic attacks? I am...

Hi All, Just a quick update to say I am doing reasonably well, I am able to manage short trips still. I've recently been to the doctors about another medical matter although I have just recieved a letter saying my blood pressure is high so they want to do some more checks :shock:. I have recently no...

hi neil hope you dont mind me asking so many questions. how did you get over the agoraphobia previously? ive read that if you suffer from some sort of panic disorders in your teens( i did) it can lead to agoraphobia/panic disorder later on in life. i never addressed it properly early on. its just s...

hi neil thanks for the info. ive had two ten weeks courses of cbt. and i think its helped to dea with things rationally. yet emotionally, with the anxiety symptoms it was reallly effective. it can be frustrating as i cant drive far on my own, yet with someone in with me i can drive anywhere. its gr...

neil what kind of help are you receiving? and are you finding that it helps? got an appointment in a week and would like to know what i could ask for. thanks Hi Alice, In terms of going out during the evening I initially started off taking my fiance in the car with me and we would go around a quiet...

Simple question really, I am still undecided whether or not I want kids but I dont really want anybody else to have to suffer the anxiety problems I have had. Does anybody have any knowledge if Agoraphobia/Anxiety can be passed on?

Thanks

Hi, As a few of you on here have probably read I suffer from agoraphobia, recently I noticed I keep getting cold sores and I believe they can be brought on by anxiety or stressful situations. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem with recurring cold sores and if they are on medication...

Hi I've been on Propanolol for about 4 weeks and went back to my GP today. I told her they were not helping me much with my anxiety so she took me off them and gave me clomipramine. I have to take 10mg for 7 days then up it to 20mg for two weeks, then a review. Thought all was fine until i got home...

Well its been a while since I last posted on here and I felt I owe it to myself and others to hear how I've been progressing. As it stands I am currently on 75mg of clomipramine which seems to be going okay, I am still attending work Mon-Fri 9-5 aswell as going in to the town to drop my fiance off b...

There is nothing special or new about this method. It's just some sort of watered down Cognitive Behaviour. I do tend to agree with you on this one, the Linden Method doesnt really contain anything special, your CPN will already be offering you very similar advice to what Charles Linden is offering...

Have to say I thought last nights programme was extremely interesting and have set the video ready for tonight... BUT I cannot help but think all the pressure of doing the programme cant be healthy for the asian lady so early on into her pregnancy can it??? :? I do agree but to be fair I didnt find...

If anybody wants to listen to the interview again you can find it on listen again for Monday, if you fas...
