Advantages: it works!!, non addictive, you get your life back

Disadvantages: feel worse at first, a bit pricey

I have had panic attacks for over 2 years now. I have tried a couple of medications. One was really addictive. Then I tried not using medication at all. Of course, that certainly didnt help me at all.So off to a new GP as I have moved house recently. He prescribed me Cipramil.

I have only been on Cipramil for a week so I guess I cant really comment on the long term effects. But I can comment on the first week.

People that are prescribed Ciprimil should be aware of one fact that isnt written on the leaflet that comes with the medication and in my case, wasnt told to me by my GP. This medication takes at least 2 weeks to work. In that two weeks, many people feel worse. But hang in there. Life returns to pre panic attack stage. If you work, my advice is to try to take some time off until the medication kicks in. But as always, please, discuss with your doctor.

Of course, as with any medication, there are side effects and the leaflet that comes with all medications should be read and any side effects should be discussed with your doctor.

Anyway, Ill write again after being on Cipramil for a few weeks. If what most people are writing is true, hopefully things will be better then.


Next part to the story.

Ive been using Ciprimil for about 3 weeks now. After all the aweful side effects subsided, it was like a new world for me. Where I hadnt driven a car for nearly 4 months, I was driving again. Im not taking time off work. I can go shopping. Its been wonderful!!

My life has started again. I can live and do what I like without fear of an attack. I havent had an attack for 2 weeks now and counting.

I am also living a bit more healthy, taking regular walks, cutting down on my drinking. Now to quit smoking cigarettes.

I would definately recommend this product to anyone whos doctor prescribes it to them.

PS. In Australia, doctors can get a deal with prescriptions on this medication
. Pay for one pack and get the next free if you get 2 together. Makes it more affordable.
