Agoraphobia, panic disorder and anxiety.
Suffering panic disorder, anxiety and agoraphobia for almost 10 years. I have been taking paroxetine 50mg and pregabalin 300mg BD.
Whilst I did feel therapeutic effect from the pregabalin, the paroxetine seemed to have no effect. I have been taking it since a short spell in the psych unit in early 2014. I have decided to start to wean off the paroxetine, I am on day 2 of 45mg/day. I have been unable to taper with supervision as I cannot get an appointment with a psych dr locally.
Please do not stop or change the medicines without your psychiatrist's advice. It is import to attend the psychotherapy sessions. Medicine helps to overcome the sign and symptoms but therapy will equip you with various technique which will help you in day to day life. Working on underlying issues and learning behavioural change are important to achieve longterm recovery. These days many doctors and therapist are available online take professional help.
