    • Close Panic Attacks

      I inherited agoraphobia with panic attacks from my mother and aspergers from my father, both conditions can cause anxiety and sometimes panic attacks, in other words the symptom overlap makes it difficult to know the cause of some problems have now largely recovered from anxiety and panic attacks using meds and cognative behavioural treatment

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      helpful within limits
      Inderal Working / Worked
      helps with physical but not mental anxiety
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      helps a lot but has limitatins
      Paxil Not Working
      a prozac type med helped a lot, paxil has a reputation of being unusually difficult to quit for some
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      positive thinking by itself isnt enough, IMO
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      a waste of much money and time, leads to an emotional dependance on the therapist but no cure
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      many self help books and courses use variations of this method with much success
    • Close Asperger Syndrome

      see my detailsa t panic attacks community

    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      diagnosed 15 years ago and badly managed until I took control, now under OK control
