Trying to fight one off

Hi Lynn and Tululi, Both your posts helped me so much. I had NOT idea Tululi that the side effects were the same taking 5 or 30!! That was amazing, I always thought the more you took the more you had side effects, the nausea and headache have been bad, I am trying to work through the blurred vision, I just so want the side effects to leave and have the relief come, on top of the panic its almost unbearable. I hope you are feeling better Lynn and and the day got better, I very well know those pains and feelings all to well, I hope the panics go down more to nothing, at this point I would not mind 2-3 times a week, but the 2-3times a day is like a nightmare. I have been calling to find a therapist, no luck yet, everyone good seems not to take my insurance, its hard to find someone who specializes in Anxiety/Panic. The worst thing I think is its like I "eat sleep and breathe" it, always dwelling and thinking about it wondering when its going to happen again! I have got to stop that, I just do not know how. Please let me know how you both are doing. GOd bless, Debbie.

Hi Debbie, I read this last post in which you said you are still only taking 10 to 15 mg of PAxil. When i took it, like you, i thought that by taking less, i would get less side effects (weight gain and no libido), but my doctor told me that there was no difference between taking 5 mg and 30 mg of Paxil, the side effects were the same. The thing is, if you're not taking the dose of Paxil that you need to help you, you're actually doing yourself a disservice. Your body is "in-between", not fully controlled and dosen'T know how to react. With the anxiety that you have right now, you need to get it firmly under control, because now you'Re just half-treating yourself. Upping the dose will not make the side effects worse, but will really help you. Eventually, when you'Re finally calmed down, you can decided what avenue to take for the future, but for now, you need to follow your doctor's advice and take the 20 mg of Paxil. It's not dangerous and won'T make it harder to stop...you're already taking it now. You've been in a terrible amount of distress for many weeks now. Just think about getting this under control for now, and when you're feeling better, you can think about the future. :)

Hi Lynn, I am sorry I did not post earlier, my husband came home from work and got very angry with me, I had a third panic today and he was home for the third one, my chest started to hurt and my hand went numb I thought I was having a heart attack, he yelled screamed and swore he said I am not taking enough medication, I went to 10-15 miligrams of Paxil and 1 1/4 Klonopin he said I should be taking at least 20 miligrams of Paxil and two whole klnopins a day! My nurse said that was fine, but I am so scared I will over-dose, he said I am destroying our family and I got so upset and starting crying, he said I am not taking enough medication, but I always head to start low and go slow, his anger is making it so much worse, he said its all mind control, he makes things so much worse for me, and I am just trying to hold it together for my son, I called a christian Counselor today and she no longer practices, and then I called a Physc Doctor he is too expensive then he said with all these panic attacks I am having I am putting pressure and stress on my internal organs and that could lead to illness or disease, what a horrible thing to say to someone who is already panicked that panic atttacks can hurt or kill you! I have always heard they cannot, can they?? Did you take a tranqilizer too Lynn? Let me know how you are, you are very strong to be able to work a important demanding job, has the doxapin stopped the attacks? Perhaps I should go on it, my husband thinks meds are the whole answer. Hope to hear from you soon. God bless, Debbie.

hi debbiei,thanks for your reply sometimes i think we all need to vent,yes your right iam lucky i can still work.i am a managress of blockbuster entertainment.they are a worldwide company have you heard of them.i have worked with them for 9 years now very demanding jod sometimes i work 50 hours per week.when i started with the attacks i was off work for about 3 weeks i have to force myself every morning to go but once iam there iam fine.my attacks happen when iam mostly at home i fear sudden death iam always worring about my heart this has only happened since last december when i lost my friend of 42 to breast cancer.then out of nowhere i had a panic attack and i have had it ever since so iam also lucky i have not had it too long but it feals like eternity.i problemis trying to relax i have all these horrible symptoms all the time.it makes me cry hearing how people have struggled with this for years thinking is this my fate.do you think it will ever end .i pray for us all that if not it will ease lynn

Dear Lynn, Please do not ever apologize for venting, you have helped me so much and I am here for you. Its great you can work, I so admire that, I can barely leave the house anymore, I can go out at night but not during the day, thats so strange. I have calmed down a bit, but now I am very depressed and shell-shocked, the attack just hit like a ton of bricks, I know what you mean I try to sleep as much as I can because that is the only time I get any peace, I am praying very hard to our Lord if not to take it away to alleviate or ease it so I can function, my son needs me, I was so hoping the Paxil would of stopped the attacks by now or at least cut them down, it has lifted some of the depression, I do not cry as much, but the anxiety is constant, I just wonder what effect this has on my body, all this constant stress, it cannot be healthy then I worry about developing something from it, if I could just find ONE medical person to help me, to help get me well, all I hear is "I don't know" from the ER, doctors, etc....Its very frustrating, now I am venting! What do you do for a living? Its great you can work, that is wonderful! How are your meds going? Did it take long for the DOxopin to kick in? Hoping to hear from you soon. God bless, Debbie.

hi debbie i hope your panic attack has passed and you are feeling a bit better i have not heard of chistian councelling but would like some imfo myself i would be willing to try anything to get rid of this condition iam so sick of the daily battle i wish it would go as quickley as it started.there must me some assistance somewhere the meds just mask it for a little while then i comes back and hits even harder.i pray one day we will all get some peace. all i do is spend money on books remedies and nothing ever works for me.the only time iam okay is when iam at work or when iam asleep.i suppose i should be thankful i can go to work.sorry to vent i was supposed to be replying to your post take care lynn

Hello everyone. I thought if I posted it may help me, I am as I write this trying to fight off a panic attack, this is my very bad time in the early afternoon, I took a quater of a Klonopin, probably not enough but I am hoping to take the edge off. I called a Christian Counselor, has anyone ever tried this, my neighbor also said I need a healing mass and someone to pray over me? I am trying to breathe and self-talk my way out of this one, if it escalates I will end up in bed and I do not want that. Thanks for listening, I am trying so hard to control this. God bless, Debbie.
