Hi Outlaw I said I would let you know how I got on.... Really really anxious going into the hospital brought back lots of bad memories and when I went into the scan room it was exactly like it was when I had my worst ever panic attack I felt nothing but dread and was shaking really bad. I explained to the nurse what happened last time and asked if she would turn off the machine if I asked her and she said she would. I had another panic attack as soon as she left the room and decided to go with it and it did work the feeling only lasted a matter of minutes, although at the time it felt like hours, and although I had all the usual panic symptoms (I thought my neck would explode with my pulse beating so hard and so fast) I got through it. I was very weepy afterwards and very shakey and lightheaded but also really really pleased with myself as I now know that nothing bad is going to happen and I don't feel as tired and drained as I usually do after an attack. I am even having a couple of glasses of wine tonight which I haven't been able to enjoy for the last few months as I haven't been able to relax enough (I think it must be a confidence thing). I know it's only the start but I am sure my frame of mind has changed today I feel much more confident (although smoked way over 20 cigarettes today) and will be going into town on Thursday which I haven't been able to do in a while and if I have a panic attack so what i've handled it once I can do it again. I had an Indian Head Massage this morning and although I was anxious for the first five minutes I started to relax completely and felt very good afterwards which took away my exhaustion like magic and I really think this helped me cope with the scan. I enjoyed it so much I am having another one next week and even thinking about going back to work which usually fills me with dread. I know I have a long way to go but for the time being I will be staying of the meds and seeing how I do. I do hope you are doing better? Sheena :)

Outlaw - The response I posted earlier wasn't me speaking for everyone with anxiety or depression. You asked for people's experiences with meds. That's the experience that I had with meds. And the experience I've had without them.

Hi Outlaw In reply to your message, I was given celerex in May 2005 and still refuse to take them. I see my doctor weekly who assures me that the pills will help me but after reading the side effects I would rather not (fancy giving an anxious patient pills which can worsen anxiety aren't we anxious enough)? My biggest concern is that my anxiety symptoms will worsen which I am able to control in the house. Also the side effects state that they can make you dizzy and lightheaded which is what I mainly suffer with and also states to avoid driving which I can't do at the moment anyway, so why take them? Also if they don't work after a few weeks the dosage is either upped or an alternative med is given and I am unwilling to start this as I feel I will be a lot stronger if I succeed at kicking this myself, but I have only suffered for a few months so maybe my view will change if I don't get better soon. I read a book yesterday called 'Understanding Panic Attacks and Overcoming Fear' by Dr. Roger Baker who says to 'ride the attack' which he states will be scary at first but if you do it and realise that nothing will happen you are on the road to recovery. I will be trying this tomorrow as I am having a Head CT Scan, last time I went for this I had a major panic attack and left without having it done so my challenge tomorrow will be to stay and work through the attack. I will let you know how I get on.

I took Paxil for seven years because I also believed I had a chemical imbalance. It didn't take away the anxiety. It did slow my adrenaline enough that I had long stretches of no physical symptoms of panic, which decreased my panic levels, but I still had panic attacks, which is why I was also given Lorazepam. The Paxil also slowed my metabolism, which caused massive weight gain. Because of this, my cholesterol raised past the safe levels and my blood sugar was getting dangerously high and I was on the verge of being a diabetic. I stopped taking the Paxil seven months ago. I've lost 47 of the pounds I had gained without even trying (I don't exercise regularly and have made some changes to my diet because of the fear of diabetes). But, now my cholesterol is right where it should be as is my blood sugar. So, why didn't the meds take away this chemical imbalance if that's what they are supposed to do? I find it funny that when I was on meds, it didn't take the panic / anxiety away. Now I take absolutely no meds for this but am working on the CBT and even though I also truley believed that it was chemical and meds were the only answer, I'm finding that working on my thought patterns through CBT is the only relief I have ever found in the 12 years I have dealt with this. Meds have never and will never take this away. They only help the symptoms temporarily subside.

I see there is alot of people like myself that get a script for meds,and dont fill it or take it.Or they take it read the side effects and cant handle it.Ive taken Zoloft,Paxil,Buspar,Celexa,Remeron,Effexor i'm sure a few more i was always hoping this would be the right pill.At the same time the side effects were diffrent,but the main side efects were the dreaded increased anxiety,and feeling like my brain was being operated on.Ive been doing research on meds on so forth,some take xanax like myself and mask the problem.Others try herbal/cbts,and therapy.I belive i have a actual chemical imbalance. 1-So my question summed up is what stopping some of you from taking a ssri type pill? 2-What side effects should make a person stop taking the pill,they say ride the effects,and better days will come,when do you say ok this side effects are to bad? Im going to take one soon this my life im doping resrach finishing a few things on the home front and than try one again.Why not i mean whats worse trhan living in fear if the effects subside the storm passes and helps just a little i can beat this..Just from what i see,and others keep us from taking them..Than again if you found the right PILL WOULD YOU STILL BE POSING HERE PROBALLY NOT YOU WOULD BE LIVING..just my thinking.. outlaw
