    How to get through Christmas if you suffer from anxiety or depression?

    I am on holiday for 3 weeks and forgot to bring my antidepressant meds (flouxetine). I was fine for the first few days but i have suddenly become very, very anxious.
    I take the flouxetine for panic attacks and agoraphobia. I am in the USA and am many miles away from home so an attack of agoraphobia is really NOT a good thing.I can't eat anything at the moment because I am so anxious and I am not enjoying my holiday at all.

    I once quit taking an antidepressant cold turkey and I felt horribly sick.It literally felt like I had electric shocks running through my body (I know that sounds crazy but I've talked with other people who have also experienced that during med withdrawals). After a few days I ended up curled up in a ball screaming over and over again and had to be taken to the hospital. Withdrawals can be REALLY bad.Please call your doctor. He/she might be able to prescribe you medicine on vacation and you can look at goodrx for good deals for your script.

    Can you call your doctors for another script? Or go to an urgent care and explain the situation?
    My doctor filled the scripts
