First off, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I understand how you feel and it is horrible.

Is there any way you could get in touch with the doctor who prescribed you the current medication you're on and see if they can also give you something shorter acting (such as Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, etc.) to help with the panic? My doctor just prescirbed me Prozac, but in the meantime, she also gave me Klonopin to help cover the adjustment period. Good luck and deep breaths!

Hi Nicola. Its only a blip on your road to recovery. You will find that you have ups and downs on the way but do not get too disheartened if you have a bad day or two. Its normal. Remember the good days you have had lately and you will find they come back. You've had a stressful time worrying about your appointment which probably brought on the migraine. Its onwards and upwards from now on. x

Stick in there -thinking of you - get the hubbie to wake up and distract you, send him to make you tea.
