My panic disorder has caused me to have agoraphobia

Helen,
Thank you for your kind words and advice. I’ve been slowly increasing the Cymbalta and I can see the effects working! I am on my 4th or so week of exposure therapy and it is so hard but so worth it. There are a lot of bad days, but there a good days as well. I’m trying in therapy and I can successfully go a few miles from my house without a panic attack. I know it takes time but I wish I could do all the things I want and not worry about them.

@graciepeanut521. Thank you so much for coming back here and letting me how you are doing. This is all so encouraging. I’m relieved for you that as you have slowly increased the Cymbalta that you are feeling better. It’s very good news that you can leave your house and not have a panic attack. Therapy can be hard as you wrote and it’s great that you have those good days in there and you are willing to have those bad days too. Big congratulations to you for doing the work!
