Im 29 years old and have been dealing with anxiety/panic symptons since the age of 15.....jesus time flys! It all started after smoking too much dope one day, silly teenager.
I dont know if this was the cause or just triggered some underlying problem, but ive never been 100% since that day. I can cope with my feelings etc... and have never been on medication but i experienced a really bad panic attack on a flight a couple year ago and now absolutely hate flying. I cant avoid it though as i work offshore and flying is part of the job, ive been using valium recently to take the edge off, normally good few pints then 10mg valium and im good to go. I dont want to continue this however im considering starting some medication and will go see my GP on monday, anyone have similar experience or reccommend suitable medication?

Cheers
