Hi there,
I am 21 years old.....very bubbly personality, very friendly, big social life and have now recently started getting anxiety/panic attacks. They seem to run in my family (my mom, sister, 2 cousins and aunt all suffer from this)
I used to take Prozac about 2 years ago for depression (which really helped me alot) i only had to take it for 10 months and was then taken off of it. My psychiatrist seems to think that i went off of them too early and that is the reason for me now getting panic attacks.
She has now put me back on the medicine.
Last night i watched a documentry type program which was research into the side-effects of anti-depressants. It has caused people to want to kill themselves. TOday i am stricken with panic as i keep thinking this will happen to me.
Please can somebody ease my thoughts. I am at work and really need to concentrate but cant coz i feel like i am going insane!!
