I'm dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, especially when the phone rings out of the blue. It really freaks me out. My doctor gave me an antidepressant called Mitocent 30 mg to help with this. I'm a bit worried about any long-term side effects I might face if I keep taking it. Also, how long am I supposed to stay on this medication? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation.

Mitocent (30mg) is an antidepressant commonly prescribed for anxiety, and while it can be effective in managing symptoms, long-term use may have potential side effects like weight gain or changes in sleep patterns. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance on the duration, and alongside medication, practicing relaxation techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can significantly help in managing anxiety and panic attacks.

I'm really struggling with something and could use some advice. I've been in a relationship for almost 10 years, and I'm deeply in love with her, but lately things have been off. Communication has been bad, and two years ago, something changed, but we never talked about it. I recently heard she's getting married, but then she said it was called off because her parents wouldn't agree. It's leaving me feeling really lost. I'm super emotional and can't seem to focus on anything else. The idea of losing her is just too much. How do I deal with this situation and the depression thats coming with it? I feel like I can't move forward. What should I do?
It sounds like you're going through an emotional storm, and that's totally valid. But the key thing is to take care of yourself right now. Start with small steps to work through your feelings, seek therapy or counseling if possible, and start exploring what brings you fulfillment outside of the relationship. Sometimes, personal growth and healing come from challenging situations like this, even though it's tough at the moment.
