Been having panic attacks alot lately. Don't even want to go any where because of them. Scared about the holidays coming up too. Pdoc gave me meds for them but don't seem to help much. All this makes me very depressed.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Go for the real thing. Tell your doc NOW that this stuff isn't working.
If its an axiety attack I dunno what to tell ya. I know my bp meds have done wonders in curbing my 'manic' panick attacks and I wave off the am and pm ones with a scheduled dose of xanax.
My anxiety... well that I just deal with unless its pushing me to explode from really stupid triggers then I take my meds.
Ask your doctor which of your meds would actually affect anxiety and panic attacks and if they are right for you.
they dont want people on xanax for long or a constant useage because of the addictions most people get from them. I dont happen to get any of the addiction problems from my meds (usually- I wont say never cause then Ill find one I do get an addiciton to) I fought tooth and nail for my script and it was tough but I had to make an agreement with my doc...
One way to combate a doc that is reluctant to allow you to see if its the right med for you is to ask for the extended relief. In my case it would be best for all day coverage... and there is not the peaks and valleys with the long acting as the short has. Its one pill a day at the prescribed strengh for the day that the doc wants you at... they are in a bit more control.
best of luck... fighting this beast is very tough
