need your help if you can (anxiety problems)
just been diagnoised by a psychiatrist to have generalised anxiety disorder and panic attacks. Also been having problems with my heart and they think its related to the panic attacks.
so i have been having a hard time with things. Been hard keeping my mind on working when im having those damn attacks. Im having troubles keeping the rent up too in this bad period. I'm 19 and live by myself so i dont have someone to split the rent with. the doctor said CIPRAMIL may be helpful for the GAD he also mentioned XANAX (if anyone has used them please let me know how they did) also talked about Behavioral Cognative Therapy I would appreciate if anyone could give anything to help me out i dont care if its 5 dollars to help with my rent or just some advice on the matter if you have had this problem in the past. my icq is 261416544 if you can talk thanks |

Are you sure your heart isnt the cause of the panic. Certain disorders like Mitral Valve Prolapse can mimick panic disorder. Any doctor worth his degree would check on that first.
Fuck xannax it will just make things worst. The rebound effect is a bitch. The xannax is short lasting and when you bounce back up your panic will be as bad if not worst then when it started. It snowballs from there. Xannax is like a roller coaster ride when it comes to easing the symptoms of the disorder. Klonopin has the same calming effects as xannax without the rebound. Ask your doc about it. I lived with the shit for 20 years. It was hell until I found a doctor that had a clue.

stfu you idiots, Xanax, is the worst rug there is. The after affects etc. you will have more and more panic attacks. if you keep that up. Goto a doc, tell him about it and get a priscription for Klonopin, it lasts longer than Xanax and the're isn't any bad mood after it wears off. also talk to him about wafers. My brother is a fucking whack son of a bitch split my head open from anxiety and shit he's 19. He's on Klonopin and I smoke him out daily he is a happy camper

I take Cipramil and find they help with GAD/panic attacks pretty well, they take 3-6 weeks to kick in fully, this is my third or fourth month on them and I haven't had a panic attack since xmas (I used to have several a day) or the feeling of my heart racing and feeling 'fluttery'.
Best of luck to you.

Keep in mind exercise and proper nutrition is very important as well. Just be sure to ask your doc what you can do being your heart is working harder. Lastly on my mind now would be to recommend you find out what your trigger is for the actual panic attacks. The GAD is usualy just the result of the panic attacks (your anxious because you don't know when your going to have another attack). The actual panic attack has a trigger(S).

ok honestly, do you smoke weed? I delt with Pa, and other things for about 10 + Years, then i started smoking now and then and it helped a hella lot, Now just be warned, at least in my case certain meds mixed with pot caused horrible results, when i was on xanax i had seizures, when they put me on prozac i could not stop vomiting, now i do not know if this was all caused by the drugs or the pot but i quit the meds and those probs stopped.
Now i'm not saying smoke pot all the time, but i find a hit here and there kep me calm, centered and pretty much panic free (if that can be possible) Other forms of self-help would be to maybe either get someone to handle your day to day work for a while, or switch jobs all together, this industry can be hell on the mind body and soul. Find a nice quiet place to just sit and relax, sof music and dim lights can help calm yourself when those times come. I would just honestly look tword self medications rather then taking pills prescribed by a doctor. too many times pills just add more problems rather then solving them. I wish you the best of luck. -Loki-

I had one not too long ago, and it was just a system overload.
I was on Effexor for 2 years and recently went off (I was stable enough to do so) But I was extremly overstressed one day and just started paniking and had an attack in my office. I usually just talk myself through them once I can breathe and move again. |

Now that you know your not having a heart attack and your not going to die be happy. When you feel the anxiety just tell yourself that this is just a trick your mind is playing on you. Soon your mind will stop playing tricks.

Ive just switched to effexor from paxil, paxil worked a long time but my body must have gotten used to it or something, ive been gobbling xanax for years now and believe me, it sucks. so my doctor switched me to effexor. juicy, im starting on 37.5mg effexor (2 weeks ago) while weaning of paxil - i got rashes at first, and a little disorientation here and there now. i hear this is normal and subsides after a while.... any of this happen with you? anyone?

I self medicate but then after the last few years, not much really affects me. This is a funny place. Watch more cartoons, read more, detach. OTC drugs will fuck you in the end...so will the other ones. I like Vonnegut, Sartre and Dostoyevsky; funny guys.

At a glance it sounds almost like maybe your anxiety is increased or possibly even triggered by the fact that you can't make your rent payment regularly. Are you employed? Adult biz is not what it used to be and you may want to consider getting some kind of job while you're getting your feet in this business. I would try this before pills and regular counselling sessions will help also. Edit: Looks like you actually got some good help on GFY which is cool, hope you get better

I am sure mach knows not to go getting these suggested drugs off the street. It never hurts to suggest things to your doctors. A lot of doctors still don't have a good grasp on the disorder.

I sat through two years with my mom having major panic problems and thinking she was having heart attacks. She eventually pulled herself out of it and has since gone on to teach others the mental techniques she's used to overcome the various anxiety related problems she had. She's had great success with it.
What I find odd about the medical community's treatment of anxiety problems is that they go right for meds. Here we have a host of proven problems that relate back to stress which the medical community finally amits is the result of MENTAL treatment of outside stimulus. But the amount of attention giving to retraining your thought patterns is all but non-existent. Anyway I'll hit you up on ICQ... I'm sure I can at least lend some good suggestions.

I have had a panic attack. It lasted for three days and I couldn't sleep at all or concentrate on anything. It came because of a lot of stress during the time before the attack, so I took a break from everything and I haven't had another attack since.
The only thing I did during those three days was educating myself on panic attacks in hopes of finding a way to end it. I learned that panic attacks are the bodys way of giving you an edge in life-threatening situations (fight-or-flight), and since they are triggered by high levels of anxiety rather than your logic telling you that you are about to be seriously hurt or possibly killed if you don't do something drastic, they therefore also sometimes trigger on purely internal conflicts. I also learned that most people who have experienced a "non-justified" panic attack WILL experience them again later in life. Why? Because even if the original causative anxiety is gone, the anxiety of getting another panic attack can be great. There isn't really a cure for panic attacks other than getting to the root of that which causes you anxiety. Drugs (and pot) CAN help some, but in reality they only smooth over the effect, and don't get to the cause. Did I mention the side effects? Drugs have side effects. Before getting a mind-altering "medicine" or becoming a pothead like the other people in this thread seem to suggest, I strongly advise you to try to deal with it personally, find a way to destroy the cause of your anxiety (which appears to be of a financial nature, so McDonalds next), or maybe even go for Behavioral Cognative Therapy (which is techniques and training in thinking more positively) since that helps for some. Also, here is an interesting read: http://www.members.aol.com/jambeau1/panic.html It's not a sales pitch, just read it through and see if you would like to try it. |

I wish you luck man. Be +VERY+ careful with the drugs. I've seen some incredibly fucked up people over the years, almost all of them from drugs. Not illegal drugs, but the xanax's of the world.
Some people may really need them, a 'chemical imbalance'. Take vitamins, eat better. RELAX more. Someone said above, it sounds like you wig on rent. Strongly suggest you work on getting a 'steady' job to supplement porn, I think you may rest easier. Again, good luck.

I see some of the latest posts suggests working out. I can't see how I managed to forget that. Working out will increase your levels of natural serotonin and endorphins and balance you out emotionally.

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. |

Second - My uncle had a HORRIBLE time with panic problems. But it just turned out there were elements in his life that he hated. He wasn't coming to terms with them on a conscience level and it started to effect him physically. For him it was his wife & her bullshit and his job & his bullshit. Got rid of them both and got back to basics (i.e. what makes him happy). Panic attacks to a dramatic nosedive until they ceased all together - that was over 8 years ago. I'd suggest you really look at the a full breadth of your situation physically, emotionally, financially, mentally and how each of those elements interact. Its easier typed than done, but make your state of mind a decision. Understand what is happening around you when you're smiling and strive for it. |

needing money does not cause panic disorder ... you may freak out at the thought of living on the street, thats natural. Panic disorder is when you freak out for no (evident) reason at all. if you cant pay rent, you need to get the hell of GFY and work for a while. I dont understand the shame in it ... ive worked normal jobs off and on while doing internet shit before i was making enough to go full time. |

however, i must say that i feel i have had GAD disorder most my life when i was in primary and high school when living at home with no money worries. So i feel it goes a little deeper then just money the panic attacks have come on later in the game maybe due to making rent im not totally sure. |

Ok that was flip flopped Mikey_219inc Serotonin is related to depression while norepinephrine has some links to panic. Interesting stuff.

If you eat a lot of fast food or frozen processed food, a change in diet may help along with the other suggestions listed here. It's true that we are what we eat and food can affect the chemicals in our brains. (Damn, is THAT a loaded sentence... I'm sure some of you will have fun with that.)
I'm always amazed by the difference in attitude that my daughter (age 14) has depending on what she's eaten in the last few days. Healthier organic food keeps her teenage moodswings much more in check, but if she eats out a lot at McDonald's and the like she's hell to deal with. Good food doesn't have to be inconvenient either. Boston Market provides a healthier alternative to most fast food places (if you have one near you), and if you live near a Whole Foods market or something like that (Wild Oats, Fresh Fields, etc) that's a great place to eat as well. Also, if you drink a lot of soda try water and juices instead. Soda is evil I swear. While we're on the subject of fear... here's a great article that will make you laugh: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...304.DTL&nl=fix Hope that lightens your day just a bit. ![]()
