Hello!
Just found this forum after searching about panic attacks.
I've suffered from them on/off for about 3 years, even managing to completely get over them during which time i was never on any medication.
A year ago i had THE panic attack i'm sure everyone is aware of, tight chest, pins and needles, can't breathe etc and decided to go to the docs and was diagnosed with anxiety and depression.
Since then i've had good and bad spells with varying medication but in the last month it's been so bad, i've been unable to travel on trains and even shopping has caused them.
I'm currently on 150mgs Trazadone, 30mgs Mirtazipine aswell as Diazepam for the actual attacks.
Even with all that i'm still getting them, it's just ridiculous! i'm in a band and we tour quite alot and travelling in a van is a major part of what we do and i just can't imagine our next gig (were driving to Germany on Tuesday) without enduring the build up or eventual attack itself.
I'll start reading through these forums for help but thought i'd introduce myself too.
Thanks,
Carl.
