Dear Gina, You sound like you are doing better. I had to lay down, my upper stomach started hurting really bad and it radiated around my back, my eyelid keeps twitching and moving, my stomach feels like its bleeding or something inside, I hate this! Everyday its something else just one day I would like to feel normal, I feel so nauscous, this is terrible. I am going to try to lay down and NOT take a klonopin. Please say a prayer Gina. Debbie.

I was just filling out my panic session program Gina, and I was reading the session, it seems to help to record it. How are you doing? Debbie.

Hi Gina I am here, I had to talk to my son a few minutes, he just found out a third good friend this year is moving away, he is very depressed and it makes me sad to see him like this. I like to take hot showers they seem to help, I use to like baths now I like to have the hot steamy water on my face and neck to help the tension. I have had it rough lately Gina, the Paxil's side effects are a little rough, they have settled down a little but I am still waiting for it to lift the anxiety and depression its been a month! It makes me feel wired and tired. Yesterday I had no panic attacks and I was so happy, today I had a bad one and then cried so now I feel exhausted, I always feel tired, I am praying too Gina, I hope your good days are continuing, you deserve it. Please post me how you are doing. God bless, Debbie.

debbi are you there???? gina

debbi, you really deserve some relief i pray it comes soon for you.have tried a hot bath? that helps me sometimes i buy all the relaxing bubble bath and light candles or sometimes i lay on my bathroom floor when i feel dizzy. i wish i could help you more. i am just telling you somethings i do.i take xanax when i need it and i see a counciler when i can afford it.i know when you are down it is hard to get back up.please post me and let me know how you are feeling. gina

I really need some help. I was so pleased yesterday that I did not have any full-blown panic attacks. I woke up early very very anxious and nervous, I took my Paxil and went back to sleep for a few hours since my husband and son were still sleeping. Within an hour of waking I had a horrible panic attack, I am still having it as I write through it seems to be decreasing a little. Why am I alright at night and feel fairly normal and during the daytime I am a wreck?! At nightime I am not perfect but much better, during the day is unbearable, my husband is home today and that usually helps, he has a bad cold, and my son is upset his friend is moving away, but I woke up like this, how can I be so hopeful and normal at midnight and just hours later fall apart?? I am so discouraged, every day this goes on I feel less hopeful about recovery, like its never going to go away till the day I die, and I do not want to have those thoughts, after yesterday I thought I was turning a corner, I so hate when it comes back after a good day its almost worse that way because I get my hopes up and then I crash down, I had to take 1/2 Klonopin to stop the shaking, the room starting whirling around and everything looked unreal, then the nausea and headache start, and the whole day is ruined, I just so want to go to bed. Do you think this has something to do with going up on the Paxil? How long do I have to wait till it starts to work and the nasty side effects go away? I so want to get well, I just do not know how! I want this to end, it has taken over my life, I actually envy people who only have one or two panics a week, I would love that instead of every day, I so want the prayer and paxil to work, yesterday was better, and it seems like my body is making up for it today. I am sorry I do not mean to go on and on, I am so scared I am not going to get better and function or at least not quickly, after 8 months I am so weary and tired of fighting it. I was so hoping the Paxil would at least decrease the number of the attacks if not eliminate them, when you are having several panics a day how do you live? God bless you all and thank you for listening, sorry if I rambled I just am sitting here so shaky dizzy and scared. Do you all think the Paxil will decrease them a little, its been a
