    • Close Anxiety

      I have pannic attacks and gad. Seems to be worse in the morning. I take .50mg of xanix 3 time a day. on regular schedule which works better than when needed. had to catch attacks when they first appear. taking on regualr basis stops a lot of the attacks. Just a few breakthrough. tried paxil .20mg once and was halucinating and was much worse. will never do it again nor any other srri. Going to try therphy next with xanix combined. Star jan 10th. Hope it works better.

    • Open Pet Bereavement

      I have managed to fight and win the battle against anxiety and panic attacks, it was a long and hard road to recovery. Now I have lost my soul mate Piggy (my cat of 14 years)I'm having such a hard time dealing with the loss and grief. He died in my arms in may. I have just gotten another cat but it's not the same. He's a little close in looks but way different in personality. Right now I'm having trouble getting him use to my other cat.Being referee and stoping cat fights is not fun-Need advise
