Question: For more than 4 years I have suffered from anxiety attacks and sometimes depression. I have been taking Tropium for the last two years and this seems to work most of the time. However I am feeling increasingly depressed and am not happy that Tropium is the only solution being offered by my GP ( he did ask me 3 weeks ago to switch prescription drugs and try Lustral instead - I stopped taking Tropium and started Lustral - within 24 hours I was suffering severe anxiety and hallucinations so I immediately reverted to Tropium. I take up to 40/50mg per day and do not feel that this is sustainable. I want to find a long term solution to these problems and am increasingly dis-satisfied with my GP's advice. Should I switch to new medicines? Can you help?
