Please take the time to read, this is serious and I may need the best help and answers you got.

I’m laying all my cards out on this one. I’m 23 years old, I’m 5′10 and weigh 220. For the past 2 years I’ve witnessed Panic Atacks in my life and Anxiety, ever since my Dad’s company closed and I had to find work elsewhere, but since the econmey sucks, its hard to get a job which help caused anxiety (stress) in my life now. For the past 8 months or so I’ve been getting worse with the anxiety and panic attacks.

Everyday I feel weird, Its really confusing on how to explain this, and for the past few months it has been like this everyday. I’m afraid to go to work now because of this problem, I dont want to live off of mental disability.
The problems that I have happens everyday; ok, and its hard for me to explain but i will try the best i can, I feel like my head is going to explode with all the stupid thinking i do on worring and etc about my health (which causes me to go into a panic attack), At times i feel woozy like I’m going to pass out (but i never pass out, or experienced it) and when this happends I think about "Oh My God, am I going to die" "Am I having a Stroke" "Whats wrong with me this isnt normal"
I’ve never felt like this in my whole life, I’ve always been healthy. Also when I feel dizzy and headache like symptoms,At times I Get these weird chills that go up my back or at least one side to my face down. (which scare me of having a passout moment, stoke or heart attack) I did the study on Stokes and Heartattacks but this isnt in its defenition at all. When I go out with my girlfriend, I cant stand being in public at times, and there are days that I dont mind going out. I start thinking about my health and worring about it, then i dewell on it which cause me to go into a panic state and I get the woozy (dizzy spells) the weird pain in my head and chill like shakes.
The Dr. put me on Lexapro at first, then i gave it its rounds and the results were bad, they made me mean. Then the Dr. gave me Paxil, I gave it its rounds and It just didnt help at all, made it worse for me at times. Then the Dr. gave me Prozac and Vistaril (Vistiral only when having Anxiety attack which made me drunk like and tired) I; on Prozac, just gave it a week and found the side effects very bad, nothing that could kill me of course but didnt make me feel too good. I Give Up on Pills, I’ve never had this problem in my life and never had to take pills for anything. I was affraid that the pills would cause me to have a stroke or heart attack.
Since this has been an everday effect with me, for the past month now i have been trying to eat right and exersize more, due to the fact, ive been tired of feeling like this and all i did before is sit around and play games or watch TV, made me depressed and I’ve never been Depressed (*makes me mad* but i’ve been more active now lately) cause people are telling me that working out and eating right will help out alot, but I feel no change at times. Since this has been an everday thing, I dont want this to kill me later on down the road, actually i fear this could kill me, could it?.
Is this normal Anxiety / Panic Attacks? Am I a Hypocondriact (however you spell it, the phobia when you feel your sick all the time)

Thank you for your time.
Yes I went to the Dr. for Cat Scan, everything is fine, and Blood Work, everything is clear. FYI

I have social anxiety disorder which causes me anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis. Lately they’ve become so overpowering and frequent that I can’t even leave my apartment (for work, to go to the store, etc). I have tried antidepressants in the past, but they made me suicidal.

I am scheduled to see a psychiatrist but where I live it usually takes weeks of waiting to get in. What can I do?

I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and have been on Cipralex for more than a year now. Besides, I was advised to take vitamine B pills for it is good for nerves. However, after a fortnight of taking vitamine B pills I begin to feel the anxiety which I wanted to avoid by these pills. Can these vitamine B pills cause an onset of anxiety and panic attacks if they are overdosed?

I would like to get information on what is available to treat irrational anxiety and panic attacks in a teenage son. I do not want anything that is addictive or is needed for the long term. I want to find something, preferably natural, that can be used, short to medium term, to lower levels of anxiety sufficent to allow confidence to grow through experiencing the things that are currently avoided. Hopefully, once the confidence is there the need for the supplement will disappear.

Does anyone know what the most amount of time a person can stay on disability while being treated for anxiety and panic attacks is? I was out on disability for a gallbladder surgery I had. I developed anxiety and panic as a result. My doctor has started me on Lexapro for 6 months. I was suppose to return to work next week, but he extended it for 2 weeks. If I am not ready to return to work how long can I keep asking for an extension?

Please tell me how long you were are out and receiving disability before you returned to work.

Thank you for your answers in advance!!!!
6/13 Saw my Dr. today. Seems he subscribes to the theory that my new release day is 2 weeks in the future, then I have to return to him for him to determine if I can have an extention for another 2 weeks! The system is driving me crazy, why can’t he just give me 3 months at time?!
Thanks Whatever!

I’m already familiar with medication (which I highly dislike), breathing exercises, a few herbal methods and a few other alternative approaches. There are probably a lot of things I’m missing though. I’d like to know how other people cope with general anxiety and panic attacks. Do you have any tips and tricks? Do share them, please.

Thank you for reading.
