Hello,my name is cookieand i have been suffering from panic attacks since nov 2011. Only until february of2012 have they become a daily part of my life. Sometimes ill have 3-4 recurring attacks per day and sometimes xanex doesnt help me at all..im on 5 mg and my friend gave me some 1 mgs for the serious days,but i hate the pills. My doc has prescibed me Zoloft,celexa,effexor,prozac,wellbutrin to name a few. I am too scared of having a seizure that i will not even give these meds a try.(i research too much)..I wanted to order PanicAway,but its not in my price range,i have tried the vitamin regimin,but i dont last long. I just want to be normal again. My symptoms r mainly tightness in the head,tingly arms n hands,trembling hands,jelly legs,slightly dizzy and lightheaded and sometimes my chest pounds or i get a bad case of indigestion. I know im not alone,i just feel alone bcuz nobody in my actual presence understands me. I feel like my Dr thinks im nuts too. I want to see a psychiatrist but dont know if i need a referral or not. Im just an all out mess. went from making about 650$s a week to now 250$ because i had to reduce my hours at work so i didnt have to be in public having an attack. I take a xanex at 7 am before my 730 shift and it wears off normally 4 hours later,so i take another. then i go home around 1 pm..once im home,i just google and google and try to fight it off so i dont take more than 3 or 4 xanex per day,i usally look forward to bed time because thats my greatest time f day/night..thank god im not agoraphobic just yet, i actually love to get in my truck and go for a spin when im having a serious attack beacause it distracts me because i now i have to focus on the road,but with these gas prices that remedy is getting ridiculous. Im sorry i am typing a daggone book,but its making this attack ive been having for 2 hours slowly dwindle away..so if nothing else,thank u for just being here and letting me vent away...
