Nope no confusion here...I was able to make it out of the acute stage on medications...but I chose not to live on medications for the rest of my life.
I was diagnosed with panic disorder, and still suffer from it to this day...going on almost 6 years now.
But now that I understand exactly what they are, I am able to keep them from escalating to a point where I am needing to be sedated.
Been there done that...got tired of dying and started living...that was the key thing.
Don't get me wrong. I am not against medication...however I don't think what works for you may work for others and vice versa...and just because someone can live with their panic attacks without medication does not mean it's just plain ol' every day anxiety vs the garden variety medical diagnosed kind. ;)
