Hi and welcome they dont usually ring to say they have your letter
You wont really hear anything now until you get the decision letter -
oh ok thanks very much.
-
HI,They sometimes send a text but very rarely ring. Other than that all you can do is wait until the decision is made and that can take anything up to 10 weeks, sometimes longer.
-
@ketokid Ah no, I'm sorry you have experienced anxiety over this
We have everything crossed for you.
Have your panic attacks settled down a little? Are you managing them alone or with help from your doctor? Please let us know if you need any support.Online Community Co-ordinator

Hi Cher thanks for your concern everybody so kind on here. the panick attacks are not as bad today but still got heart palps all the time, I just got some meds after a chat with my doctor serteline tabs. been on many tablets for this problem but cant cope with the bad side affects. However i am going to give them a try. Will just be glad when its all sorted out ?

I take Amitriptyline which also made me very drowsy when i first started taking it and also when my dose was increased. It took quite a few weeks to get used to it and now the drowsiness has gone. Hopefully, it will be the same for you too.

Hi @ketokid, I hope your body adjusts to the medication quickly! Being drowsy can be really frustrating.
