Hi Karl
Welcome - nice to have you on board! I only recently joined but it has been so helpful to me - whilst having a bit of a relapse - Laura:welcome:
That's the same as me, I was on meds for 3 years, cut down the srri's and two weeks ago decided no more diazepan but lasted a week no issue and the past week has been hell, it started with a few wobbles I coped well with, then a few I struggled with, then a day of being anxious half the day and for the first time having attacks when others were driving then three days of constant attacks. I recently moved house so my doc told me to move to a closer surgery, I said I would once I had quit the meds, well when I quit I didn't feel the need to register so am still with her and seeing her tomorrow, although she did give me an emergency supply for 1 week and didn't make me go into the surgery, my cleaner kindly picked it up as the journey was too long for me to make by car. I am feeling a lot calmer now, just about to go into work for the first full day this week, lucky I work for myself. I wish you all the best Laura, this pig of a condition is going to be kicked to the curb by us both, I'm sure of it. It's just a few stupid ideas in my head I need to learn to either stop listening to or stop having. Sounds easy so I'm telling myself it's going to be, second time lucky, I want to get back off the meds in six months.
Cheers again Laura, best of luck, I'm with you all the way, we can do this.

Stress I think, I was at my partners parents and drove home to let the dogs out, and had a major panic attack at the wheel, this was the fist one, Christmas day 2007.

Hi Karl, Welcome! Gosh I can empathise with panic attacks coming out of the blue...my first was on the motorway going to High Wycombe and I have no idea what started it! I am now on ssri's too. I am also a newbie and the people on this site seem really supportive x :welcome:
Cheers, yes I had no idea what was going on, at first I thought heart attack but a few visits to a&e and ecg's said my heart was fine. Bloody GAD, lol, s glad I found this website though, I don't feel like a freak, there are thousands of people on here.
Hey Karl, a big :welcome:from me too.
