Hi all,
Just wanted to share some recent odd (but positive) events.
I started having crippling, constant panic attacks starting from July last year, and I was put on Mirtazapine which worked a dream, for a while, until it started to poop out a few months later so my dose got raised which helped, though not near as much as when I first started taking them.
Anyway, fast forward to a week ago, still on Mirt (45mg) my panic attacks started coming back. Then, I ran out of meds and horrible withdrawal symptoms started coming back. Not being able to even get out the house to get a new script, I had some Diazepam left over (which I've had positive experiences with before), took 10 - 20mg per day for a couple days and felt pretty good.
So yesterday, still having not taken any Mirt in days, I felt good. Like, the best I've felt in years. It was like my panic disorder had completely vanished and I wasn't scared anymore. I didn't even feel the need to take any more Diazepam. Slept like a baby. And today is quite the same, I feel normal and not even slightly panicky, again I haven't taken any more meds.
Could this be because the Diazepam is still in my system, and so will wear off soon? Or did two days of taking it literally cure my panic?
