Firstly being away from your family for 3 weeks and alone should be scary so congrats for choosing to do this, should be fun though :smile: Have you started taking the Amitriptyline? 10mg I think is a 'baby' dose it sounds like a mild amount so I wouldn't be concerned about trying it but Id make sure I started taking it a while before I went on holiday.

If you think you can't cope with this can't you take a friend with you?

How long does it take for med like that to have an affect on you?

Amitriptyline? That's used to treat phantom pains and bed wetting...

It's used to treat depression & panic attacks. I was on it, but unfortunately it didn't stop mine. It's only not good for your heart if you overdose (i.e. more than one) because it can kill you. Mine took a week to kick in, but I got side effects.

I'm not going away on my own for that sole reason, in case I feel depressed or panicky.

is it bad to combine it with alcohol

Probably depends on how much you're planning on drinking.

ah not alot as its a relative thing, so cant be too smashed
what about citalopram, that really helped me stop panic attacks before

That should be okay then. I didn't drink when I was on Amitryptline though so I'm not 100% sure.

I started taking Citalopram last week. I find it's helping a bit. I'm sticking to very low amounts of alcohol though, like one or two drinks just in case.
