    • Close Panic Attacks

      Have been suffering from panic attacks for 20 years, but has gotten worse the last 7 years.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I take .5 mg as needed to quickly calm during an attack or if I am going to be in a situation that will cause one.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Been working with my therapist on this for 6 years.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Take it only at night PRN.
      BuSpar Working / Worked
      I recently increased to 30 mg BID.
      Paxil Not Working
      Horrible, made me a zombie & feel numb all over.
    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I have been suffering with IBS-D for close to 20 years. I have cycles of bad spells, with severe diarrhea & abdominal pain. Difficult to know what to eat. Avoid fried & spicy foods, lettuce & dairy.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      NEVER eat salad in a restaurant - no can do! Also avoid fried & greasy foods & most dairy.
      Psyllium Not Working
      I found adding fiber to my diet to be more irritating.
      Imodium Working / Worked
      I basically live on this stuff. I probably take at least 2-3 per day! It helps, but not always when I'm suffering from a severe bout.
      Bentyl Working / Worked
      I was prescribed this PRN, but have been taking it daily for the past month. It does help slow things down. I take it before I fly or if the stomach churns.
    • Open Anxiety

      Dx'd with GAD 7 years ago. I get very nervous before going to events, so I think I have some social anxiety as well - even though I love to be social.

      Treatments

      BuSpar Somewhat Helpful
      Just increased to 30 mg BID.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Take .25 or .5 mg PRN.
      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      Just started with 5 mg, to increase to 10. But I have bad side effects with all SSRIS.....hoping this works.
      Seroquel Not Working
      25 mg BID, but will wean off since starting Lexapro.
      Zoloft Not Working
      Horrible - hated the sexual side effects! I don't seem to tolerate SSRIS.
