I am pulling away from social situations/ my friends/ everything because of my panic attacks and anxiety. My heart races, skips beats, I cannot eat away from home. I don't know what to do. I'm scared to take klonopin, has anyone tried buspar?

I understand how you feel. I go to Anime conventions and it is so hard because my Anxiety is way worse when I am excited.

I tried Buspar and it didn't work at all for me, but that doesn't mean it won't work for you. I would give it a shot. I use Klonopin and have no problem with it. I just take it exactly at it is prescribed, and have had no addiction problems (I'm assuming that's what you are worried about). All the same, if it's going to add more worry for you, it's not worth taking. Try the Buspar, and see if it works. It's a non-benzo, so there is no chance for addiction.

Kolopin is basicly the same as Xanax only it has a longer half life.
Xanax last around 4 hours and is effective within 20 minutes and Klolpin will last around 10. Klonopin will make you real tired so taking them at night is recomended most times.
I use calexa for everyday use for my anxiety and xanax for the panic attacks which now don't happen very often. But both of them can be adictive if abused.

Keep a journal to help you detail the actual physical symptoms that happen, when, what, where, and how you eat and drink, and what feels better, feels worse, to help find the right combination medicine treatment that will help you.
Best wishes on your healing.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
