Well i've battled these panic attacks for
1 year without meds and the last one has
thrown me over the egde. The medication
has me freaked out now to though. ( only
two days on lexapro and zanex ) should I
though it out to see if there may be some
results? By the way i've taken every
natural product on the market for anxiety
and I feel as though i'm losing the
battle. Freak

You Are Not a Freak Posted: 05-18-05 19:47pm
Number one, you are definetely not a
freak! Please don't think that. Many
people suffer from anxiety and panic
attacks and they all survvie. Sorry the
medication is not working for you. Have
you told your doctor about this?
Medication does take a while to work so
you should wait whil it kicks in. Then
you may see results.
If you feel like you are losing the
battle, the best thing you can do is talk
to someone who understands like a
counselor who may help.
I don't want to be a hypocrite but I think
you should see a professional.
You take care and keep your chin up.

thanks poetmcc, the doc says this may take
a couple weeks to get turned arouned. The
last panic attack was friday night and
with this one the surge of symptoms didn't
go with the attack the way they usually
do. My chest is still burning and all the
rest of it. I just need it to
stop..........
Can't seem to find peace. Thanks for your
support taylormade

Hi,
i was in the same boat as you, perscribed
drugs freaked me out more because I didnt
feel 'normal'. It took me 3 years to
overcome my attacks fully, you will learn
a way to deal with them, it will take time
though. I found that by avoiding certain
foods, eating healthily and excercising
really helped me. Other than that I drank
camomile tea whenever I felt irritable and
I also took quiet life tablets when I felt
a funny turn coming on. Now i'm back on
track, not had an attack in over a year
and I dont get anxiety attacks either.
Mine were so bad at one point I wasnt sure
if I would make it through the year, I
couldnt do anything, go anywhere I was in
a prison.
I just wanted to let you know that there
is light at the end of the tunnel, be
strong and keep fighting your attacks!
