I have fainting phobia I faint when I give blood test or given injection or in any emotional distress such as sexual wellness classes so when recently before three months I accidentally cut my finger and fainted I developed anxiety that I might faint anywhere even in home I consulted a neuropsychiatric he said I have anxiety disorder he prescribed me cipralex 10 mg and petril 0.5 1/2 tablet I took it for 30 days and I went to preview with doctor he said to continue cipralex 10 mg and petril 0.5 full tablet and he will slowly take me of petril ,my concern is the physical symptoms of anxiety are getting better like headaches etc but my fear of fainting is still there I need some help or advice to cope with my fear or phobia when I feel slight sensation like headaches or stomach discomfort I fear I may faint.

Dear lybrate-user, please to hear from you, the symptoms you discussed are related to specific anxiety disorder where you need to start de-sensatization against all the fears you have. Initially make a list of the list fears you thin you have and start working against your fears. 1. Start with thinking and imagining about fear 2. Make yourself feeling comfortable with the thoughts related to the fearful thing near to you. Get in touch for the more help, if case needed. Best regards, neelam.

Hello Lybrate-User, For now I would advice you to take medicines and with that develop coping mechanisms too. Gradually there won't be any need of medicines. Best wishes.
