The reason I am on here asking is because right now I cannot afford health care, for at least another month. My health insurance only covers 4 appointments a year. Yeah, already used two for dental and two for throat. Basically they just felt on my throat and used a flash light to look in there. They say nothing wrong. Has anyone ever had these symptoms? If so, what did they tell you?View Thread
I used to get panic attacks that would make it so for the rest of the day i would have anxiety. That was about 2-4 times a week from the time is was 16 to about 19.
I never treated them, they just kind of went away as life moved on.
And now that i am 23, today is my first major panic/anxienty feeling since i was young.
My husband and i are about to leave the house we are renting to live with a family member for a couple of month while we get his credit straight so we can buy a house. the problem is, i like being dependent. The closer i get to moving out of this house, the worse it becomes. So, i push the moving date out a little further. But that makes us so broke.
I really hate this feeling and i am stuck. All i really want to do is break down. But i cant =/
I really dont like this feelingView Thread

I can go for long periods where I feel ok then all of the sudden I will start not feeling right and it goes from there. Example: Last night I checked my blood pressure and it was elevated along with my heart rate so it really worried me! I woke up and its still up (under 120) and I just cant quit thinking that there is something wrong with my health! I do have some of the sinus stuff going on and my eyes are crusty and my eyes feel like there is a film on them with really doesn't help matters!!
What can I do? What should I try to calm down and quit worrying so much about my health??
BTW, I'm 33, over weight, suffer from high blood pressure, pre-diabetes and anxiety (?).
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!View Thread
I have tried hard for years to make doctors listen to me and not tell me it was IBS, I have to suffer a colonoscopy in a few weeks and still no one will listen when I said it is PANIC ATTACK DIARRHOEA.
I am so certain, it never happens at home of when I am with my infant class but when I am away from a toilet or walking out.
Please please help me, I have never used this site before, I have listed all the drugs you mentioned, this has ruled my life in identical ways you all mentioned and in some cases worse. I need help to get better, I am loosing weight worrying about it.
Thank you all, inspirational xxx

As of now I am on Wellbutrin(about 6 months)which helps some just not enough. This drug also causes ringing in my ears I dediced to put up with.
My PCP wanted to add something to the Wellbutrin to hep further. We tried Buspar but after a few months it quit helping. Zoloft was next which made me feel amazing but again no orgasms. Effexor came after with severe musce spasms, nightmares, and sweating. Friday she switched me to Remeron(3.75mg) and I slept for 13 hours still groggy even into today.
Im really losing hope here. Personally I loved the Zoloft but is there ANYTHING to counter the lack of orgasm? I cannot up my Wellbutrin dose or the ear ringing will become worse.
I do have Xanax on hand just in case but i really try to avoid it at all cost since it is not long term.
Does anyone have a suggestion of a new drig I could bring up to my doctor?or anything that could counter side effects? After 4 years of this mess I dont know what else to do.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long post, LindseyView Thread
I'm having an incredibly hard time adjusting, I feel very unequipped for this role and feel like I want to just run away and never go back. I took an IT project manager role with the Government and I realized on the first day that I'm the only project manager for the entire county. That thought creates so much angst in me, I have already found out that I have minimal support in this role. I have already had a severe panic attack on the way to work last Friday, it hit me on the interstate and I couldn't breathe. I had to pull over and vomit, then I went in to work but had to leave after an hour. I simply coudn't function. My wife urged me to come home and lie down and I did.
The thing now is I've been obsessing over the things that could go wrong, I've done it all weekend and in doing so have neglected time with my family, especially my toddler son that want's daddy to play. This is killing me. I'm going to have a talk with my manager in the morning and depending on the outcome of that I'll decide what to do next. I feel I've let my family down as this is a great opportunity and it's what I went to school for. I feel like now I made a huge mistake in wanting to do this as a vocation or going to school for it. I feel like a fool.
My wife is concerned that if I don't get a grip soon I'll be going to the hospital for a nervous breakdown. My mind won't stop thinking about things, I have herbal supplements to help relax me and help me sleep (speaking of which, the first week on the new job I averaged about 2-3 hours total a night) and that isn't helping either.
I'm in bad shape here and I need some serious help, the thought of talking to my manager about this is causing the most intense emotions. I fear they'll question whether or not they hired the right person. Either way I don't look forward to tomorrow morning. I miss the comfort of my old job and the freedom I had. Trying to adjust to a new schedule, new role, new people and personalities and the further drive, is all too much. I am completely overwhelmed and about ready to throw in the towel and go sell cars or insurance instead.
If anyone has been here and can offer words of wisdom and encouragment then please do. My families livelihood and my sanity are in jeopardy.View Thread
The only way to put it is they piss me off. I cant sleep when they start and they only bother me at night when Im trying to go to sleep. When they start occurring I cant sleep at all and usually they end up keeping me awake the entire night. In the last 10 years I have worn a holter monitor for 2 months, had half a dozen EKGs done, Echocardiogram, Stress test, chest X Rays and MRIs, and blood tests and all I seem to be doing is throwing money at doctors because 2 different radiologists and a cardiologist have said my heart is in great shape. If they keep telling me my heart is fine then why cant I sleep at night because of irregular beats and how do I make them stop so I can sleep?View Thread
