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.
