Cipralex side effects.

So I had a panic attacks and stress for 5 weeks. Last cbt session was good as he told me how bad I am with breathing and he told me how to use it properly.

This week. I had almost 0 attacks. But just constant fear and ideas in my mind.

Same time I am taking cipralex for 10 days. First 5 days was on 5mg. And the other 5 mg on 10mg.

This week I feel dizzy like wow all the day just decrease and increase sometimes. But mostly don't go.

Like I can't focus as well.

Sleepy.

Tired

Memory is not the best especially if thinking about what happened in the stress time. Like I can't think of what to tell my dc this session

Like I don't have panic or fear now as before. But those symptoms are from what?

Cipralex? Or maybe adrenaline is dropping? Or the situation is escalating? I don't really wanna go back to that fear again.

So basically, I had served panic attacks for 4 days and went to the therapist. And then I felt better. Feel sometimes dizzy, low energy, fear, disconnected. And like tiny attacks. Like lasts seconds. But today is day 21 since the first attack. I mean, all those periods, I never forgot it. And. If I feel normal, it's only for hours. I feel it and always think about it. and I have it (symptoms) every day. Like, what is that? Is that really a panic attack?

I mean people on this sub. Say they have it once a month or once a week. And it's so hard and so serve. But mine is not like that. What do I have? I really don't understand.

Today and yesterday, the panic attacks are harder and hits longer. Just a note, maybe It could help

Btw this is my second post. If you want, I made a detailed explanation in the first one. And I feel really happy sharing here. People are so helpful and positive!

Hi first time here.

23 years old. Male

I had my first panic attack 20 days ago. Lasted for 4 days. Whenever I try to eat or even see food I feel I wanna vomit. Afraid before sleeping. Wasn't able to do anything. One of the hardest experiences ever.

Then it went down the symptoms and I took to a therapist ( the one with like midicine certificate and call give prescriptions) he tole me. You have a serve panic attacks and we need to take midicine. I told him can we try without and he said ok.

Tbh. It was getting super well...

New symptoms accured like dizzy or not focus or feel I am not connected to the world. But I was able to eat and do some basics. Panics where way less. I used to have 2 or 3 a day that time. But so light. Comparing to before.

My problem now is

We had a therapy session it's the second one. 4 days ago. It wasn't the best. He told me I still recommend taking the midicine but let's wait 2 more weeks.

Yes I felt better after that. But today is not my day. So afraid idk why. Ideas like those come to me.

Will I reallt back to my normal life ? And handle my life again?

Am I going to be crazy? Or it's just panic attack?

Will it convert to a other mental illness ?

Do I have depression? And if I have it why? And how to treat from it? Abd it drives me crazy!

Will I ends up killing my self or what ?

Idk thinking about those really made me so low energy and panic attacks and feel I don't wanna eat again. But not as hard as the first 4 days.

Any help guys ? What should I do?

Sorry it's soo long.
