"List of pre-existing conditions: I was treated for depression in 2006 (citalopram) but had to come off the treatment when it rose from 20mg to 30mg - It was due to me having these searing headaches. Since then I guess im not depressed anymore but now I get anxiety attacks frequently throughout the day. I am not on any medications at the moment.
List of other diseases, conditions, or injuries and their treatment: When I was born I suffered a Fibrile Fit. I contracted cerebral maleria when visitng bangladesh in 1995, I was prescribed a drug by a village doctor which resulted in me going into a semicomatose condition for a week before I was well enough to leave back for Britain, where I was given a work up and was passed as fit. I have dislocated my arm at the socket on both sides repeatedly through sports & misadventure.

Current medical status: I have seen a GP over my anxiety attacks and over the course of 5months have been seen by 3 doctors all giving me different opinions. 1st) who initially diagnosed me a depressed, heard my story and sufggested I go for treatment. when I told him I was moving away he said that I need to register with the GP in the new area and see a mental health worker. 2nd) Was a covering doctor for the GP in my new area. Prescribed me Zimovane which resulted in me having major sleep problems and a uncontrollable rise in paranoia. I also have regular headaches since taking this medication. 3rd) Was the actual registered doctor for the practice. Saw me and said to come off the Zimovane and excercise more with swimming and jogging - the latter being something I have been doing since 2006 and helped but only for a little while."


Given the symptoms that you describe such as avoiding contacts with other people for irrational reasons, you might be experiencing a kind of neurotic disorder called "social phobia". It doesn’t seem that you are experiencing paranoia because you are aware that the reasons for avoiding people are irrational. In a situation like this when three GP-doctors couldn’t help you, you may need to ask for expert help from a mental health doctor.
