Just thought I would let you now about myself. I was first diagnosed with Panic/ Anxiety disorder 10 years ago. I have had three bad episodes in that time and some periods without any trouble in between. On the two previous occasions I was treated with Prozac and Valium and GBT. The most recent episode has been in full force for the last 7 months. I was initially treated with Lovan and Valium and to my horror I was unable to tolerate the Lovan and have now been taking Valium for 7 months, (something else to worry about). I see a pyshologist weekly for continued GBT and have for the last two years. I would love to take a magic pill and have it all get better. I was promised by my psychiatrist 5 months ago I would be better in 6 weeks. Now I am terrified of medication and battle on without it.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Hi Vegemiter,

What set off each of the episodes of panic ?
What part of the anxiety and panic were you struggling with that you went onto regular valium and how much are you taking ?
Do you mean CBT ?

You can get over this .....

Let us know what we can do to help you.
