u/Arcin1

I am currently battling these and on medication. I take mirtazipine 15mg ( increased from 7.5)and cholonazepem 0.25( reduced from. 5) for 2 weeks now. Today after lunch i felt like throwing up and it increased my anxiety. I have a constant feeling of throwing up and i have diagnosed with antral gastritis in the past. I fear being alone and doing nothing, crowds, buildings, rain, long distances etc etc, i need to be distracted all the time.When panic hits i feel like i am going out of breath and then to full blown panic attack.

Is there anyone else going through these problems? How did you managed these? And how did you guys tapered off cholonazepem, what other alternatives can be used? How good is CBT?

Also is there anyone who had gut issues and agoraphobia? If there can you share what helped you.

And can anyone give information how CBT works. Being on medication or without it which is good.I am sorry if this isn't the right way to do this, i am struggling currently any help is fine.
