Acid Reflux

Acid Reflux from panic attacks has caused me to lose over 50 pounds so far. After 15000 dollars of test my Gi  DR  has decided it's stress related. Been working on all the stresses from the past year. My stomachs improvng but stress and panic attack has not. in fact have added a stutter now. DR put me on Busprione and now Clonazepam but can only take 1/4 of a pill because they make me too dizzy. So far this seems to work for me. So half a pll of Busprione divided and 1 Clonazepam divdied. Does anyone else have problems with these?

I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist. They are medical doctors where all they do is treat anxiety and panic attacks (as well as other mental health issues). They can help you with what medications you should take, and you can ask them for a referral to a therapist. Talking to a therapist can really help with anxiety and panic attacks.

Regular family doctors are generally not well versed on how to treat anxiety or panic attacks.

You are not alone.

    My best friend ruined my day with her immature, bitchy self.  If she doesn't get her way, she has a tizzy fit.  I told her weeks ago that I couildn't go to yard sales with her on 9/12 because i have a hair appointment.  She wasn't happy.  I also told her that I don't have any money to go to yard sales.  She tried to talk me into going to more yard sales by saying that if I don't go, there...
