View Full Version : Introduction
:)Hi everyone
Just like yourselves I have anxiety and panic attack. I have had them for years but are getting worse. I think I am going mad at times when they come on. On diazepam and lorazolam , 28/5mg tabs which have to last me 3 months. I understand we have to watch meds of this sort, but feel I cannot really take them when needed, because I have to make them last.
Hi Flori :)

Wishing you the best

Hi Flori and welcome,
NMP is a great resource and support network for anxiety sufferers, I hope you find it useful.
Sorry to hear that your anxiety and panic attacks are getting worse, are you taking any long term, regular medication apart from the Diazepam/Lorazepam? Have you had any talking therapy or CBT, they can help some people immensely.
Take care
Sam
Hi Flori. Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll benefit from being here, just as I have.
Hi flori,
I know what you mean about the diazepam - I've been prescribed a small amount to help take the edge off my anxiety but I don't want to use them all up as I know GP's are reluctant to prescribe due to the possibility of addiction.
Have you looked in to counselling? I never thought I would be the 'type' of person to get anything out of it but I'm finding it helps. You need to find the right person though.
Take care, J x

Hi Sam,
Tried citralopam , but they always make me feel worse. Seeing someone next week from MHT for assessment. Got CBT a few years back and was coping quite well, but as I say they appear to be getting worse. But yes this sites great. It let me see I am not alone, as I was starting to worry I was going mad.
Thank you for the welcome and hope you are well

Hi Jelly,
I have to see someone next week from MHT because attacks are getting worse. Was there years ago for CBT and it did help. I know we have to be very careful with diazepam because of addiction to it. I am very careful and I make them last about 3 months. Just cant get any other meds that work. But really glad I found this site.
Thanks for the welcome and hope you keep well
Flori x
