Toronto,
Welcome to The Panic Center. We thank you for sharing your story with us today. This support group is full of supportive individuals who may be able to help you answer some questions regarding panic and anxiety. It is great to hear that you are working with your doctor. In the meantime please feel free to roam the site at your own pace.
If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice.
The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.
We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.
If you have any questions or concerns with our "TOOLS" you can contact our support department at support@paniccenter.net.
Take care and we hope to hear from you soon.
Josie

I am bad at spelling agrapobia so I apologize in advance as I am new to this group but would like to ask some questions please.
Regarding Effexor. I used to be on celexia and effexor. I stopped celexia a few weeks ago and have had my effexor dosage increased twice. I do not feel it is helping me as I still cry daily and am very depressed. I have not experienced the bad taste in my mouth so I cannot comment on that. The part of the sleeping I also cannot comment on that because I am exhausted from the pain and have bad sleeping habids as well.
I am a WSIB claimant in Toronto ON. I got injured 2 years ago. I finally had to go on sickleave 6 months ago as I suffered alot of verbal abuse from my former employer as say this because he fired me 2 weeks into my sickleave. I had a nervous breakdown lost the use of my left hand. My work injury is I tore my left shoulder (left rotator cuff) the trauma of the accident along with the trauma from the verbal abuse and work treatment let to other phobias such as anxiety and panic attaacks and fear when I leave my home go into a car and a mall. I am a chronic pain suffer, chronic migraine suffer, severe mood disorder depressed person who is 39. I hope this program will work. My nice psychiatrist can only seem me once a month so I am in search for additional counselling along with the various meds I use and hope WSIB will eventually compensate me and have a lawyer who will hopefully help me with my wrongful dismissal case.
My question to you all is. Am I doing the right thing by trying to go slowly with my mother to the mall eventough i have to take a tranquilizer and try to go into a car which I am terrified of since we had a very bad rear end car accident which wasn't our fault. I just went for my fitting as I am getting a mouth splint for TMJ.
It is a struggle but I hope to get the proper counselling as I am in desperate help to get the right counselling and I have to find better medication because I should not be crying constantly and depressed and housebound.
any thoughts and suggestions please.
