Does anybody else get bouts of anxiety and panic attacks from time to time.

Druenos · January 9

For the past 2 to 3 years I've been having occasional bouts of panic attacks and anxiety. My doctor prescribed 50mg of Sertraline which I took for two years but I don't want to take it so every 6 months or so I try and lower my dose to 25mg but the anxiety keeps coming back. I hate the feeling and it makes me annoyed with myself hence always trying to lower my dose. Maybe I should just accept that I need it for the time being.

Hi @Druenos I get bouts of anxiety and it can be terrible, so I can completely empathise. I'm also prescribed Sertraline and have found it helpful but it's different for us all. I've added below a few links for posts I've added because a lot of the tips I find really help me. Hopefully they're helpful to you too 🙂

You are not alone, @Druenos Hang in there, I know the feeling of being annoyed for not allowing myself to have these emotions or dysregulations of my body, awful indeed.
