    About Me

    I suffer from a panic disorder which causes random attacks in the event of stress. I live in a small town and have a wonderful husband. I like to scrapbook in my spare time as well as reading, walking, and cooking. Any kind of dessert is my worst vice!!!

    • Close Anxiety

      I'm a very stressed person but I do it to myself. I started having panic attacks when I was 20 years old. The first time I had friends rush me to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack. I've probably had about 30 panic attacks since then. I was taken off my prescription for anxiety when my husband and I tried to get pregnant because it was a known cause of birth defects. I'm now readjusting to life back on the medicine and thought I could use a little more help!!

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      It makes me tired, helps me sleep and keeps my muscles from over working themselves. I didn't experience any bad side effects and it does manage to calm me down in the event of an attack.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Although this drug takes a while to get stored up in the system, I love it's performance with my panic disorder. Once I'm on it and its kept at the proper level in my body, I have no attacks.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Reading has helped me understand the whys and wheres of my anxiety. Understanding it is helping me control it!!
      Love Working / Worked
      I have a loving and supportive husband who helps me make light of the bad days.
