I suffer from panic disorder and gad. Since the start of all of my mental problems, I have been avidly searching for ways to heal myself. I gave up on antidepressants and am currently taking xanax. It works for me, but I want something more.
This question is for the ladies. I have been on the birth control pill for quite a while and I recently found out that it can cause anxiety and panic attacks even in people who don't have panic disorder. All of the hormones in the pill mess with your natural hormonal balance and can give you anxiety. I quit my pill about three weeks ago, i still suffer from anxiety and panic, but it has been lessened. I am hoping that once these hormones are completely out of my system I will feel better.
Has anyone experienced anxiety related to the pill? If so, there may be hope for some of us girls? IUD's don't mess with your hormonal balance and they are more affective than the pill. Any advice or testimonials out there?

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...
It's kind of a catch 22.
Good Luck To You!
