they dont really understand do they? like mine he sometimes gets mad and frustrated at me saying just shake it off and its all in yer head, no real symphaty at all. i suppose they dont truly understand unless they are going tru it themselfs. i hope u feel a bit better soon.

I was the spouse that didn't understand what my hubby was going through when he started having panic attacks 8 years ago. I can honestly say that because I didn't understand how it felt to have these attacks, I was probably pretty nasty to him, telling him to get over it. Well, I got mine. I now suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. So tell your significant others to watch themselves because they could get theirs too!!!

Anx mum....are you taking any kind of medication for when these attacks come on? Something like Xanax or Klonopin? I take Xanax now which works very well for me at the lowest dose. But when I first started having panic attacks, I was on Klonopin and it worked very well. It just seems that you are on here quite often with attacks and there is medication out there that can help you!! I hate to see people suffer with panic because I know how horrible it can be!

Hi , what the doctor did with me was to give me 14 x 2 mg of valium to take as and when i needed it .....first time perscription . I got a repeat one (had to write and ask) so then i,ve had 28 altogether , but only one a day .

The next time i went to my gp i got the option of cit 20 mg as she said i would become addicted to the valium , but she gave me both at the time as the cit would not work for a week she said .

Perhaps something along the same lines might be an option for you at some stage .

Things will get better , you are haveing a real bad time with it at the moment

Hope this helps
