Hi everyone,
new here but not new to PD w/ agora. I also have severe OCD, IBS and health anxiety - for good reason I guess as I did have a lot of health problems in the past. I have been suffering for a very long time, make a long story short, I am very med sensitive, and have reacted quite horrendously to usual treatments for panic disorder such as SSRIs, SNRIS...anything activating, makes me so much worse. I'm nauseous all day, I have sveral panic attacks all day and have severe GAD all day long.
Yesterday, I had an appointment with a new specialist for an unrelated health issue, and my panic was so bad, they considered calling an ambulance for me.
The worst feeling in the world to me is feeling like there is no help. I want to ask my Psychiatrist for help - but I don't know what she can offer me. I'm already on Remeron and beta blockers, so I know I can tolerate *some* medications but not many. I reacted terribly to Zyprexa and all SSRIs/SNRIs.
Feel like I may need something to help though - as I feel that I do have some psychotic symptoms. Well, probably more than I realize. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to get any help that I need because of negative reactions to most drugs.
Are there any really benign medications that could help someone with really severe and constant panic, or am I just left to deal with this for the rest of my life?
