Hi everyone,
I haven't posted for a while. I've been doing the panic program for 6 weeks and was doing quite well, I'd feel anxiety when doing exposure work but I was able to get it down before developing into a full blown attack. Until yesterday, I feel my whole world has come crushing down. I tried and tried to get my anxiety down while I was at work. I kept writing and challanging my thoughts, the anxiety did go down a little and then it went through the roof. With me, I know if I can't bring it down within a reasonable amount of time, I will have a full blown P/A, with extreme dizziness where I can't even walk and throwing up. I've read a lot of posts on everyones symptoms, I don't see that throwing up is all that common in this disorder. But I sure do.
Its hard not to get discouraged, I'm trying to keep positive, I had this illness over 20 years now. I was hoping it was finally coming to an end. I am also trying to do this without medication. I finally weened myself of off Paxil,which wasn't pleasant. Im sick of taking meds, especially when they don't work all that well, which wasn't pleasant.
The dr. came me a seditive Lorazapam (I think from the same family as Clonazapam) to take as needed while I ween of of paxil. I found with that medication, I was feeling very very angry. Has anyone taken this med. and felt angry?
Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent.
Carol
