Thank God, I thought it was rare for men. Paxil helps

I also believe women are more likely to seek medical attention.

So much good information to take in here.
One question on this topic though...

A friend of mine said he had generalized anxiety disorder and had been given anti-depressants for it. I said, "Oh, you have panic attacks", and he said not really, but that he was "un-comfortable" in group situations or something he called "social anxiety".

Yet, when I was reading about BuSpar, it talked about panic attacks under the category of "Generalized anxiety disorders."

I guess what I'm asking is if there are different meds given out depending on what TYPE of anxiety you have?

That's my understanding. From ativan or xanax for temporary relief in occasional situations (flying, social gatherings, etc. Just something to take the edge off) to a daily regiment. I keep hearing that there are all kinds of different meds that can work, but each doctor seems to have their own preference.

It's my understanding that under "anxiety disorders" there are lots of sub-headings from social anxiety disorder to panic disorder to generalized anxieity disorder. I'm not familiar with anyone who has social anxiety disorder that hasn't had a panic attack at some time, but I suppose it's possible.

Yes.

Panic attacks can be a general symptom in many different disorders and ailments. Social anxiety is a whole category in itself. Panic attacks can happen under any circumstance, not just when in public or social settings. As I posted before, most of my panic attacks occur when I am alone.

About the closest I ever came to a panic attack has been after smoking weed and contemplating shit that just shouldn't be thought about... Awareness is a bitch... but usually, as in dreams, this is stuff that needed to be directly addressed anyway.

I believe that these hard questions are always nagging at your subconscious mind, whether or not you choose to directly address these issues or not... basic human questions -- what's keeping me alive, how am I thinking, what is evil, am I safe from XYZ... so I think the best thing to do is read as much as you can so you can and look for answers and eventually come to conclusion(s) that FEEL right so you can have peace of mind... I don't think the alternative is very pleasing.

panic attacks arn't common in women unless they are around 'the fly' - then it's upwards of 95% of the female population that experiences this phenonomon in one form or another.

It's easily cured by removing the stimulas - as once 'the fly' leaves the room most women report a complete recovery and all symptoms disappear.

TheFLY · 10-10-2003, 09:30 AM

Anyway, sorry for picking on the girls... I don't talk to many guys about these things I guess.
