Hi everyone,
I'm new to this website I came across by accident and it seems to be exactly what need. Anyway I am thirty one married and have two children. I have had a panic disorder for almost nine years since I was twenty-two. I have health anxiety very bad. I have been on and off meds for nine years. I always try to get off and deal with my attacks head on and it's a struggle but I do it and most of the time never succeed. I started back on zoloft three days ago I hope it kicks in soon cause I am staring to let this disorder run my life again. Limiting me from doing things i love things as simple as going to the grocery store, ugh! I know everything there is to know about panic attacks and know what I need to do while having one but as some of you know , im sure, it's not that easy. It's like sub counciously the mind prohibits me during that intense moment and I lose all I know about panic in an instant and don't realize it until my attack is over and I say "It got me again" it was just a panic attack. Then I'm frustrated, tired and embarrassed. This disorder is so debilitating!!!!! IT scares me bad I know they say it can't hurt you but I feel like some days it may be what gets me. The other night I had a bad one and took my blood pressure and I have low blood pressure and it read 159/99 and pulse rate was 135 that scared me so bad I almost went to the ER thankfully I didn't cause once I calmed down all my vitals went back to normal. I made my aunt rush over in bad weather, talk about being embarrassed. I'm at my wits end I guess I am going to have to stay on meds the rest of my life to be even half normal. my doc gave me klonopin and I am scared to take it, does it help?
