Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Exhilarating, isn’t it? asked:


Because I am a “new patient” I couldnt get a doctor appointment any less than 3 months in advance. It seems like an eternity for someone who suffers panic attacks on a daily basis with no medication for relief. I feel like I wont make it or something! Anybody else have similar thoughts waiting for an appt?

The medications make me tired and so I don’t like to take them. I don’t have them very often, but when I do my whole day is ruined. They just increase throughout the day. I wake up in the mornings and usually have a different attitude, but feel very drained. I started having them about two years ago, now, they are starting to interfere with my relationships. I just started dating again after two years of living the single life, started back to college, I work fulltime, and am a single mother. I have a full plate and know they are being caused by so much change, but everything is important, and I can’t give any of them up. Any advice?
I was taking fluxetine on a daily basis, but then when they started tapering off, they put me on xanex. I only take it when I am having an attack, the problem is, that I wait until night to take it because it makes me sleepy. I do smoke, but I don’t take illegal drugs. Thanks to everyone for there advice. At times you can forget that you aren’t the only one who suffers from anxiety, and panic attacks. Thanks again.
