      Housewife and mother of two working college grads. Great, supportive husband, too! Gotta love a guy who has lived through this with me for over 25 years. "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." - Dale Carnegie -

      thanks for all your info and support. The Pristique anti-depressant I am on is doing great...just that Buspar that is sucking eggs, SIGH. I will just have to make an appintment with my doc. That Xanax is sounding better and better lol. I just don't want anything that will make me addicted you know.

    • Close Anxiety

      Lived with panic and anxiety off and on for 30 years. Twice major. I always have hope of someday being able to make plans without worrying about, "what if?" Sometimes I have a meltdown pity-party and ask God, "Are you really there and if so why don't you heal me from this?", and then after a good cry look for more help.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      Breathwork Working / Worked
      I listen to tapes that helped me learn to breath into my stomach. I used to breath short into my chest.
      BuSpar Not Working
      1st Drug I tried 20 years ago. Didn't make a difference.
      Hypnotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I am using CDs I bought online for relaxation. Also, some that can be listened to in the car
      Paxil Not Working
      Felt light-headed like my BP dropped after a week so I went off of it. I'd had similar side-effects from other SSRIs
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Only thing that works for me. Very frustrating that the people who need it the most get tested on all sorts of SSRIs first because some people get addicted to it.
    • Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I have been living with/struggling w/panic, anxiety, agorophobia for 30 yrs. Recently had a setback which caught me offguard. I have been reading books (Law of Attraction), journaling my successes, stood in line 2-1/2 hours to vote and just getting out everyday. I also walk 5k most days at the river. When I started having all day anxiety and a panic attack in my own home at midnight I was sure it was something else. So I got on low dose of Xanax for the 1st time in 8yrs & started counseling
