Hi folks, i'm in an awful situation and need some advice re:diazepam.
I haven't had a REALLY bad panic attack for 2 years and have had no meds in all that time (previously on propranolol, buspirone & citalopram, all 3 daily).
Last week i had a hell of a panic attack and have been in a constant trembling, fearful state ever since. i can barely leave the house i'm so scared.
I have a doctors appointment in 4 days time. I am not in a position to return to 'long-term' meds because i am moving house in 3 weeks and in fact will be leaving the country. I therefore want to ask the doctor for a short-term INSTANT relief against anxiety to get me through the next few weeks til i leave. Is he likely to prescribe Diazepam for this?
From what i have read on here it seems to be what i am looking for. i have just one appointment with my doctor and i need to get whatever he prescribes absolutely right to get the help with this terrible anxiety i'm experiencing every day. Should i be blunt and ask for it? How i'm even going to get myself to the doctors is beyond me, i physically tremble when leaving the house, jelly legs, heart pounding. I'm distraught after going so long without having paniced this badly and i'm stressed enough with the house move. I need to function properly and i'm a wreck at the moment. Do you think he will prescribe diazepam and do u think its the most appropriate med for my situation??? anyone got experiences of this and if it works? thanks for any help, i'm overwhelmed by anxiety right now and i desperately need some help.
