One point of clarification.....dont be afraid of taking meds...this is an illness and just like you cant talk your way out of diabetes, many cant talk their way out of panic....nothing wrong with taking medicaction for an illness.

Hi, I completely understand how you feel. I am moving away also from a suburb to a city, and I am feeling very anxious about the transition also. What I think is important for you and all of us is not to rely on medications alone, but also on therapy. I don't think there is a magic pill that will make all this go away, but we need to change our thoughts in combination with low doses of medication. One day, we may have the tools to deal with our fears and not have to take any medication at all. What also helps me is trying to be more in control, when I'm driving and I get scared I think, "Is this all you have? This won't scare me, I can do this." Also, have you talked to your neighbors. Maybe if you make a few friends it will help you to relax more and your unfamiliar surroundings may become more familiar. One small step at a time. I hope this was of help. I know you can do it! ;)

Thank you so much for all the advice, When I do see the dr, I will ask to start slow with med. I am super sensitive to all medication. I hate that I had to raise my XANAX myself today. Actually I could take as much as .75 mg per day, but i try very hard not too. I hate taking any medication, but I have asthma too, and the inhaler really makes the anxiety hit high. I had to do something, I was afraid I would start screaming today. I paced the floor for at least three hours. Too me that is really nuts, I have never had it this bad before. I hate having to wait to see the dr, but If I have to, I guess I can take more xanax until I get to see her. I have been trying to get by with .25, but it's not working. I upped to .50 and it helped, a little, but I still feel terribly anxious. I wonder if I will be able to get thru this, I want so badly to go back where we moved from. I was doing well there. I don't want to hate this place, but I can't help but associate all this panic with this town, and the struggle to get around. Plus I know noone, and that is so scary. I worry that I will go over the top. I would love to sleep. If I could sleep during the day, I could stay up at night while my husband was home, and get by. But I can't sleep much at all. Well thank you again for letting me talk about this. I really don't know what to do. I had no idea it could get this bad. So Scary!!!! Jeanie

Personally a benzo alone doesnt help me when I relapse...ie the depression associated with the panic needs attention and in the past the prozac/klonopin combo worked well....i believe in low dosages of meds and excercise/diet, etc.....also start slow with the meds and give them time....dont take 10 mg of prozac,,,, take 5 to begin with, along with a small dose of xanax and then wait 2-4 weeks to increase.....the lower the dosage and lower increments of increase, less likely you will experience serious side effects. I do hear you...Im currently fighting my way back and cant seem to get the past drug compbo(10 mg prozac/.5 mg klonopin) to work again.

Jeannie, sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Though you came to the right place. I can certainly sympathize with the feeling of sadness along with frustration. Read Jeff's posts under the Success Stories title. He writes about his success with Lexapro which he just started recently. Coincidently, my brother also started Lexapro about 2 months ago and is having quite a bit of success with it. Good luck, Rachele

Thank you Sarah, I feel trapped, and yet afraid to go out. It's a pretty bad situation. I am currently on Xanax, but what I was talking about was Zoloft, or Celexa, or one of those types of meds. I've never taken them before, and it terrifies me to try, but I am sure when I see the doctor, she is going to prescribe one for me. My husband is banking on some sort of medication for me. He believes that I will be fine if I take some. I hope it will work. I obviously need more than something like Xanax, I need something that will change my whole outlook on life right now. So I guess I will have to try SSRs (is that what they are called) I keep looking at the doom and gloom of things. I've never been like that, I have always struggled with the panic, but was never unhappy, just frustrated. This is crippling me, I feel so sad. I've seen a family doctor, he wants me to wait to see someone with more knowledge of my problem. That is why I have to wait until Sept 28th. Thanks for pulling for me, it helps to have someone to talk to. I'm afraid my husband cannot take anymore. Does anyone have success taking the medications like Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac? I need to know if there is hope out there. JEannie Jeannie

Have you enrolled in the Panic Program on this site? It may help you feel more in control. It's starting to work for me. I know what you mean about medication. I have had panic disorder since I was about 5 and I am now 31. I had a major relapse last year, bad enough that I had to take meds for the first time in my life for it. I was terrified! Yes, some made me feel really awful, but the one I take now (Clonazepam) works a treat. Another option is to go to Emergency. Tell them what's happening and ask them for something to help you. Don't worry about what they may think. Trust me, I work in healthcare and we see many, many weird things that panic can't even come close to. Keep talking to all of us here. If we can help you in any way, please let us know. You are doing a great job. I'll be moving next year back to where my husband's family is and I'm sure I'll need your support then. Sarah

Thanks Michael for the Support. You are right, I do need medication. I'm concerned about that also. Unfortunately no one will see me till the end of this month, and I just hope and pray I make it. I tried to drive today, just a couple miles from the house, my heart was beating so fast, and I was in total panic, I kept telling myself "aloud" it would be ok, I could do this, but I was thankful to get back to the house, I was exhausted. I cannot see how I am going to survive this. Will the medication really stop the horrible panic attacks? I am willing to do anything, but I am afraid the medicine cause more panic. I would give anything just to get from place to place. I feel so trapped. I keep forcing myself to get out, at least once a day, even if I only drive two miles. But the streets here are insane with traffic, and that in itself is stressful. I don't understand how the panic can come on even though I am taking Xanax? Shouldn't it come on less? I wish I knew. I begged for an earlier appt, but could get nowhere. It's a matter of supply and demand here, alot of people, few doctors. I wonder how many people with panic become deeply depressed? I feel so sad, and I cannot control all the doom and gloom thoughts. It's really tuff. Jeannie

You havent gone crazy....you need medicaction....this is a very physical illness just like diabetes, etc....Panic/Depression go hand and hand and the gold standard of treatment for this is ssri/benzo.....i avoided drugs for the longest time when this first hit me @ 27 and finally relented and they saved me from panic, along with diet/excercise, etc.....I am now 43 and have relapsed several times over the last 16 years and I should just stay on the meds when I feel well!!!! This latest relapse has been a doozy and trying everything in my power to get back on track....I believe in low dosages of meds but adding diet/excercise and therapy

Hi, nice to know someone is out there. Yes this move has been horrible! My husband took a chance and took another job, so we could be somewhat closer to family. But it has thrown me over the edge. I have never experienced such pain before. I am begining to believe I have depression now, along with the Panic. I am so sad. I also suffer from crohn's disease, and it is at an all time high, I've lost like 15 lbs in just a month. I am too old to go thru this, afraid I will drop dead from heart attack or have a stroke. I have not been on any meds before, but I know they will suggest some. At this point I would take anything to help me stop feeling so miserable. I do believe I have gone over the edge, and I have hit crazy!!!
