Suggest Treatment For Stress

Hello I used to suffer from panic attacks in the past and was prescribed Fluoxitine. That sorted the problem out :It's now a couple of years later and I have since emigrated to another country and life is quite tricky and hard and I feel I am getting bogged down with stress daily again. I wonder if I could order myself some more Fluoxitine online and start taking it again ? Cheers

Psychiatrist,  's  Response

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your stress-related problems. Now, stress is well known to trigger anxiety / panic attacks and this is probably the reason for the re-emergence of your symptoms.

Panic attacks can be treated with medication (like SSRIs) as well as psychological therapy like CBT. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist in your place for detailed evaluation and to decide on the type of treatment that would be best suited for you.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
