About Me
I'm almost 40 years old, and I work in the theatre as a stage manager. IN 2007 I finished a four year program at Columbia College Chicago and joined Actor's Equity Union. I'm anxious to get my life going but am being waysides by panic. I've tried so many things to deal with this and nothing works. This site gave me comfort and I abandonded it because i was feeling better. My attacks come every four or five months. They change everything. I try to be a positive influence on this site, but I'm pissed right now.

Close Panic Attacks
My attacks started about 7 years ago, with no apparent triggers and out of the blue. I am not an overly anxious or unhappy person. The attacks subsided for about 9 months and then came back. After going into therapy, I was able to finish my senior year of college with no more incidence. My summer was very stressful with lots of relationship problems and traveling. Still no attacks. The attacks have started again. Pretty much one every 72 hours. I'm at wits end. I need help.
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- Tiny little pills that seem to calm everything down. Melt in your mouth with no taste or you can swallow without water. No lingering side effects that I've noticed so far.
- Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
- Very strong. I have "waking panic" so it does seem to keep me more sedated---it seems to last for awhile-especially if you end up not needing it. (not full blown panic.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Breathe. Just breathe.
- Patience Working / Worked
- Prayer. There isn't a box for this, but it is important and will help keep you healthy. It doesn't matter who or what you pray to, just do. It's like medication.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- How can this not work?
- Xanax Somewhat Helpful
- I love the xanax, but my dr. thought ativan would be better for my anxiety.
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
Close Anxiety
I'm sure Anxiety has something to do with the Panic Attacks I've been having for the last 7 years. The come off on, like a cycle, every three or four months, then its about 2 months of physical attacks that are starting to keep me house bound every other day.
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- It woks. you get used to it quick. Take it like your doc tells you too.
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- Panic and Breath go hand in hand. If you don't know how to take slow deep breaths, learn. It's better than any drug. Put your hands on your stomach, and breath in from there...it helps with any kind of anxiety or panic.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Only take it when the attacks are bad and start wearing me down. Makes me Groggy.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Love it. Doc told me not to take it. NOt for me. Ativan instead.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Yeah I guess. Kind of changes shit though.
