1st. of all i sometimes get heart arrythmias where my heart goes crazy 220 bpm( nothing to do with panic)
i've never been on medication like this before.
but this panic and panic attack anxiety thing is driving me crazy. so the doctor prescribed me Ratio- Citalopram
i should take one before i go to bed.
im not sure if i should.. Is it safe to take?
im only 15, i dont want to make anything worse and i dont want to get addicted.
You have to take Citalopram for a long period of time like 3 months right?
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!! im scared...

Follow the doctor's orders, especially since he has addressed your concerns. Should something not seem right, call him. Drugs do not necessarily work the same way in all people so you're probably going to get a variety of responses. Relax, you be the boss and immediately report any problem to the doctor. That way, you'll end up with the best treatment. Take care and I wish the best for you.

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.
Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

Yes it is.... It is a very good one for Panic Attacks, although at times I prefer Zoloft or Paxil to it.... Paxil has fallen out of favor because of the alleged increase in suicidal ideation with teenagers...

hun, if your doctor prescribed it for your condition i'm sure you'll be ok
just take it how it is directed and you'll be fine
don't panic about it just take it and try to relax
