Does anyone else ever have a wave of terrible panic attacks then just cry and cry when they are over? The Zoloft I am taking is making me worse, I have to take some of it to ward off withdrawl {upset stomach, headache etc...} I so want my Paxil back but the nursse-practioner I see will not prescribe it because of the weight gain, I am going to PLEAD and BEG her to try it if I promise to keep my weight down and exercise. The meds are failing me and sending me into a deep depression, along with the panic and anxiety because its so constant and never-ending, I hate living every day shaking and shaking and panicking then crying and weeping because I feel like such a failure for not controlling my anxiety. The Klonopin does take the edge off but tends to depress me. I feel so hopeless, I called the MIdwest center for panic control {my neighbor gave me the number} and they want alot of money and it may not work, my husband says nothing will work for me and I may have to "learn to live like this" I don't want to do that because this is NOT living, this is like being half dead and in hell. Perhaps my husband is right, I should learn to live with it like people do with diabeties and high-blodd pressure, arthritis etc... If therapy and meds do not work what choice do I have? I just do not want to live like this till I die. Has anyone ever found something that worked, maybe not a cure, just some relief of not every day. Sorry this is so long. Debbie.
