After I decrease the dose of cipralex to 5 mg day after day I started to feel anxious about all the things again but I tried to avoid this feel. I feel anxious about death and even I had a small headache I feel anxious. From 5 days I was watching a drama and I like it but my mother said it is not interesting I felt so much anxious and I started to lose interest in the drama. And from 2 days I felt super anxious and had panic attack and my stomach hurt so bad and I couldn't sleep and I didn't know what is the reason and after I heard that my sister is going to start a job this the symptoms get worse and I always feel anxious that my sister is going to work and our routine and sleeping hours will change and she can't spend so much time with me I feel super anxious and this not the first time to feel anxious about this thing also i'm afraid to start a training that will help me to find the job in the future afraid to leave my family afraid that I can't spend so much time with them. I still feel anxious and my stomach hurts and I don't have appetite to eat anything and I don't want to do anything and. I lose interest to do anything I hate to do my daily life I find everything boring and I feel i'm not happy. My brother went to 3 days trip I was afraid and I was afraid to sleep or look at his bed I feel relaxed when he comeback. I'm trying to push this thought and watch a drama or movie but I don't feel good I felt bothered even I don't think about anything I feel bothered and unhappy. I was suffer from anxiety the last year and I took cipralex for seven months and the doctor stopped it and I felt anxious again and I started the medicine again and I stopped it from 6 days and I don't know what is wrong and what should I do i'm really tired. Even I didn't think about anything I still feel anxious and nervous and still lose interest in everything I was love to do. My family said that i'm weak and can't push this thought and that make me feel that is all illusion or i'm faking it and that makes me delusional and that makes me more anxious because I don't know if i'm anxious or delusional I don't know what should I do to be certain. They don't understand me they said that I like being like that but they don't know that i'm trying i'm trying to watch a drama or do the things that I love but when i'm trying to make this I feel nervous and feel that my heart beating hard even if I don't think about anything even when i'm eating feel stone on my chest and lose appetite every time i'm trying to be normal I feel anxious and nervous and my heart beating hard I don't know how to tell him how i'm feeling.

Dear lybrate-user, you have expressed your feelings nicely. Still you may not be satisfied, if your family has not understood the disorder. Please take your family to the psychiatrist or psychiatric social worker along with you for the next consultation. She/he will educate your family about major depressive disorder that is a brain chemical disorder. It has to be treated with a chemical called as antidepressant. Even if they understand your feelings, they may try to help you in other ways (watching drama). You, please continue to take cipralex. Probably you have reduced and stopped cipralex before your depression is lifted. In few medical, hormonal, neurological illnesses, certain psychosocial situations - it takes longer time to stop the tablet. In certain type of depression like dysthymia, you may need maintenance dose of antidepressant. In bipolar depression, you may need a mood stabiliser along with antidepressant. Please discuss with your psychiatrist. Depending on the diagnosis, she/he will guide you and your family.
