What are you thinking it might be?? I know from reading other post it sounds just like I feel most of the time and I know I have panic disorder. Like you, I am so disgusted and fed up with it I could scream.

the dr gave me lexapro,but also stated that maybe it might be a underlying chemical imbalance..possible pyschosis,and wanted me to try xyprexa but i said no way i wanted the lexapro....he said to come back in a month,but i dont have classic panic disorder symptoms,i disagree,ive given the board my smptoms can someone respond...im not schizophrena but he said its something underlying..and dosent sound like classic panic..i dunno any help? That was written by me i thought forsure someone on the board would have rsponded by now usyally people seem to help here...This shrink said it dosent sound like panic disorder its not classic symtoms..maybe a little psychosis,or something underlying..ive had this **** monkey on my back for 5 years it feel panic disorder my symtoms match up,other doctors say so..this one ive seen twice and hes pretty educated comes out with this help me im scared..im going to a anxiety center thursday,it deals with just that later...

Outlaw, Howdy! Most everything you have said I have felt, lived, or delt with. I am 23, with a 3 y/o daughter. I have felt the same things you do, about your heart, and so forth. If you would like some help with dealing with these things, and learning some skills to help, let me know. My email is: MrCrazyCool@Comcast.net

Hey you. I had my Shrinky Dink (as I call her) appointment today. I told her the Lexapro was keeping me even but the panic thoughts were always under the surface waiting to get out. I can't even sit through a movie (in a theater) now because I feel so closed in and afraid someone will notice if I make a run for the exit door. At church I have to sit next to the exit so I can make a quick escape in case I can't breathe. I seriously scare myself at times. I have come to dread nights because they are awful and without my trusty friend, Xanax, well...I would live on this board to keep my sanity. I know that God gives us peace of mind. I know that all of this mess has got to pass and we shall overcome simply because we have not gave up yet, right?

My anxiety/Panic Disorder,has been what i call diffrent waves,like diffrent periods of my life the last few years ive had this..I got it 5 years ago,and for me sitting here today still talking about i cant belive i am.I thought once i got the holter monitor results i would be fine..So for 2 years i took xanax and was a steady everyday steelworker..I drank alot,but that seemed to help me,i knew it was bad,got it rid of the feeling..I than became a hypochondrtiac to like the 3rd degree when i got gerd,i found aonther weakness in my body i was stomped..In a few months later i tried some meds the steel plant closed,and my girlfriend got pregnat..I know sit here with a 2 yo daughter (will be on the 3rd),and xanax,my family,and God guide me through each day..I also got the role of being a step dad to some young step daughters who call me as well..My point to all this i thought i had espho cancer from the gerd got the scope..still think my heart is bad after ekg's,echo,stress,the whole deal..its hard to keep my apperance up,im a good looking 25 yo man,that wont shave i get what i call a funk,it might lasts weeks even months..i will get stuck on my heart where i wont want to go to a store,or be left alone period..work makes it difficult,im set to try lexapro this week God help me through this and the side effects..whats hard is when i dont know if any of you get it but its like a monent of clarity im my old self,working on cars,calling my friends,cleaning the house might sound familar to some of you..the impact that this has had such a bad affect on my family stress,because of lack of money,my fears,nobody really leaving me alone..than everyone shouts at me,and im to blame like a little kid..i was once brave like all you were im sure,im afraid its just going to keep getting worse,or my heart isnt good,or i wont be able to be around my family..sometimes i must lay in my bed so my girls dont see daddy shake,or curl up in ball,like im being stretched a million diffrent ways..i just want my life back..i hope somebody here could tell me what the panic does to them like how it feels,and how it affects your daily weekly,yearly life..MAY GOD BLESS US,AS WE FIGHT THIS BATTLE TO ALL ON THIS BOARD WHO HAVE PRAYED OR EVEN ANWSERED ME THANK YOU..p.s sorry for the long post..
