Thanks kitt. I cant deal with the cause because i'm not aware of it, im pretty sure i don't have anxiety but every medical person i see says i do so i have to take this to either prove them right or...
My doc has given me a prescription for Pristiq for my supposed anxiety, it seems a fairly new medication and from the information appears to be targeted mainly at depression, i was wondering what...
Thinking your crazy is a very common symptom of anxiety, the fact is crazy people don't realise they're crazy, the fact your aware of whats going on means your certainly not crazy, that's what my...
I have palpitations, they're very common as i'm sure you know. You just need to know that there's nothing wrong and i think breathing exercises even simple deep breathing can help. Although sometimes...
I've never heard of Anafranil unfortunately, but you shouldn't be concerned about the xanax at all especially if you've never been on it before, if the psychiatrist has prescribed it to you as 2x a...
yeah it sucks doesn't it, nice to know someone else has similar symptoms though. Doctors tend to laugh off memory issues. I make heaps of notes for everything, i couldn't live without...
Talking to your doc is a good idea. What are your problems? i'm assuming you just have panic attacks because you posted here? or do you have depression or something else? Chances are it could help...
Thank you stkitt, its nice to know someone is listening. I'm not so much frightened as i am insanely frustrated. I feel so helpless. My doctor wont offer me anything, he thinks i'm making it up...
At the same time i got diagnosed as having what my doctors call panic attacks, i got massive amnesia, i cant remember much about my life, i forget pretty much everything all the time and cant...
I was on abilify and had horrible side effects, in fact abilify is what caused me to start having panic attacks. Basically you should talk to your gp or psychiatrist about it. Obviously im no doctor,...
I stopped lexapro because my doctor told me to. I had a very bad reaction to it....
No i hadn't considered self help yet. I cant manage this myself any more, which is where i thought medical professionals were supposed to come in. All i can do is take valium but i've been on it 6...
Technically yes, but i have no memory, i cant remember earlier today and anything from yesterday past might as well of never happened, i basically have amnesia, although docs say its a symptom of...
Well it was a complete waste of time. I sat down, they asked me what i thought was wrong and how i wanted it treated (there were two psychs in the room) , i said your the doctors you tell me what my...
Thank you for the replies. Fox7: My doctor refuses to prescribe anything stronger, it was hard enough to get valium, xanax is considered the devils work basically and my doc has said he would never...
No, i was given lexapro but had a bad reaction to it so im waiting for my doc to decide on something else. I just take Valium as needed....
I appreciate your reply beagleman. I don't think its fair to call this a panic attack any more, i started with panic attacks months ago, they lasted for a while and then went away with time or by...
im kind of relieved your on zoloft, i read your first post and it sounded like you were on 125mg of xanax! lol. Having a friend murdered would cause anyone anxiety and stress, my heart goes out to...
I've been told i have panic attacks, but this thing has gotten to the point where it never stops. My heart feels like its going to explode, heart rate varies from going crazy to very low. it is...
im not a doctor but id be surprised to be prescribed abilify just by itself for only depression, given that there are a lot of anti depressant meds out there. Abilify can have severe side effects so...
I have had CFS which has gradually worsened for many years now. One of the most annoying and seemingly untreatable symptoms is gradual memory loss and difficulty thinking. For me normally i would get...
Only thing with cymbalta is the dosage sizes, and the fact that they come in capsules. i think the smallest dose is 30mg? or something, and it is hard to take any less cause you cant break them in...
Is it possible to get PTSD from having long term severe general anxiety? i was about to post here about my sleep problems but i read this thread and although i do not have PTSD these sleeping issues...
I've just started on 5htp, been a few days haven't noticed anything as of yet. will keep you posted....
I consulted my doc today and he just gave me higher dosage valium and said i'd developed a tolerance. If i don't take valium I'd end up in the ER, and they will send me away saying to take...
I do consult my dr, he is no help at all, he says to take as many valium as i need to stay out of hospital. I've been given endless amounts of info on panic attacks and anxiety, but i'm not anxious...
Has anyone else experienced this? i've been on valium for a few months for "panic attacks", usually only 2-4mg which has been fine . Recently went back to the ER after a particularly bad one and they...
yeah depersonalization/derealization, they are horrible things, especially because so so many docs/psychs etc don't actually know of or understand the term so when you try and describe it they think...
I've been on valium for 3months, every time i complain of worsening panic attacks im told to just take more valium. i was trying to be conservative....i can understand how people end up being...
Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure what my temperature is unfortunately, i went to the docs when it first started happening and they took my temp and said it was very high and that i obviously had...
I've been told i have anxiety by my doc, psychiatrist and psychologist, however i am not convinced and am having a hard time accepting it, so i am hoping someone here can relate to my symptoms and...
