Thanks for the response. It is reassuring to know that someone else is experiencing the same thing. As far as meds...20 mg. Celexa from June, 2002 through December, 2003. Then, to a psychiatrist for 20 mg. Lexapro...(I may as well have been chewing gum). 6 weeks and then up to 30 mg. Lexapro. No effect. After two more weeks, 12.5 mg. Paxil and .5 mg Ativan. No effect. 3 weeks and then 25 mg. Paxil and .5 mg Ativan 2X a day. Mild improvement. Today, 37.5 mg. Paxil and .25 mg Clonipin. Total time on Paxil as of today: 6 weeks. I think the Paxil will help...I just need it to be soon!

Dear JMC; yes to the first question, it comes and goes with anxiety for everyone, even those without panic attacks; and secondly, I am happy for you that you had a long period of panic free time. To your second question, yes, I have had a time when my anxiety symptoms were not troubling me and then they came back again. Partly because of change of medications, and partly because of situations that arose in life that made me worse. Because you did have a successful time for quite a while panic free, I believe you will be able to get there again; you have had the experience and I hope your doctor will help you get there again. Perhaps this Panic site will also help you a lot! I hope so! I have improved since I started in January!
You have to get your physical body relaxed somehow, as soon as possible. ;p
Hi JMC,
Good on you for asking about this. Its a sensitive issue and I am sure
even if not many people respond your question will help people out
there with a similar problem.
When I was at the peak of my panic disorder, I was getting diarrhea,
constipation and extreme nausea along with my panic attacks. It was
just awful. I wouldnt say it was the primary symptom (hyperventilation
was along with the messy panics), but it was definitely hand in hand. I
would have several attacks a day, along with the unpleasant stomach/
bowel symptoms.
Unfortunately extreme anxiety can do this to you. I wasnt on meds
when it happened to me. For some people meds actually contribute to
the problem, as a side effect.
Im on luvox, and I do get a tiny bit of nausea sometimes - a headache,
gurgling tummy (no vomitting or feeling like I am going to be sick
though). A bit of wind too unfortunately :(
I find yoghurt really helps with it. Another good option are
acidophilus/bifidus tablets. You can get them at the supermarket/
chemist. Check with your dr that these are safe to take with your med.
They should be fine for most people. They will help diarreha as well as
nausea, and are just plain good for you in general.
As for your med tinkering, how recent and often are we talking? That
can definitely contribute to a non-stable state, which may pass.
How long have you been on paxil?
Hi - I am new to the site today and have been struggling with Panic Disorder since March, 2002. The first time, "classic" panic attacks were the norm. 20 mg. Celexa stopped the attacks completely for 18 months. Since November, 2003, I have been having severe attacks, 2-3 times daily. This time, however, they present as horrendous diarrhea along with other more typical symptoms. After much tinkering with meds. I am now on .5 mg Ativan and 25 mg. Paxil with limited results. Two questions:
Does anyone else have Panic Disorder that shows up primarily as diarrhea?
Has anyone else had a symptom-free period and then relapsed worse than before?
Any help is welcome. I am beginning to think this will never end!
