generalized anxiety disorde
"Mainly for severe health anxiety, which was making me depressed, asked for medication because I was desperate, having tried 'talking treatments'. Also try to use C.B.T techniques, very hard going.
2 years on Citalopram (Celexa), then palpitations, doctor changed to Escitalopram (Lexapro), 4 years now. No real side effects with either, general mood more stable, positive, more energy. Think more able to keep anxiety under control, though still get it. "
