Hi Want to be free,
Thanks for responding to my post!
I am sorry you are having such a hard time with the panic attacks. :(
It sounds like I was about 5-6 months ago and my doc put me on a benxo named Xanax. It really worked well but benxo's are habit forming and addictive and if you do ok with the Zoloft (one of many SSRI's I tried and couldnt take- it HIGHTENED my anxiety and I was having more panic than I did before taking it- happened about 14 days into it on .25mgs) then you should stick with the SSRI's instead of benzos.
This is the second day off the prozac and I feel so much better I cant even tell you. I guess the SSRI family just wasnt for me- I really hope they work for you!! They DO work for a lot of people so hang in there and if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. If you want the email addy, just let me know. :)
Keep your chin up!
Remember to say "AS IF!!!" (Like "AS IF YOU CAN HURT ME!) to the symptoms instead of "WHAT IF..."
Take care,
Beth
