Thats not odd - thats their job ... the pharmaceuticals kiss their ass with smearmoney, conventions, handjobs, all kinds of shit. of course a doctor is going to push pills. Im not at the point where im ready to get off the snri - first im getting off the xanax by switching to a better newer med, then like whoever said, excercise is a BIG help ... sweats out a lot of your stress.
I want to agree with what your saying, it seems like youve seen it first hand, but have you felt it? ive tried to get off the ssris while in a very good state, excercising daily, gainfully employed, overall happy, and the panic attacks came right back ... i dont know. I look forward to being able to handle panic attacks without meds - thats not going to happen today tho
...
medical community is a cash cow, so dont be surprised about that, but i like to read about those who have overcome the attacks by alternate methods, gives me hope for the future. I dont want to take this shit for the rest of my life.
