I think that I may have an anxiety disorder and in hopes of helping me make a pre-physician visit self diagnosis, I was hoping that I could hear a few stories from others who have suffered with anxiety. What kinds of symptoms did you have that made you think you might have problematic anxiety? What success have you had with any medications that your doctor has enrolled you in? Thanks in advance!!

I’m 15 and I’m afraid of crowds right now and have panic attacks over school work and I’m getting the help I need but I’m wondering how long it will take to get over this difficult time. I haven’t been diagnosed with hyperchondriasas but I am obsessed with looking up all my symptoms and I worry about worrying other people and it was triggered from sexual abuse at a young age. Any experiences shared from someone who has or had anxiety or an anxiety disorder would be helpful/comforting.

I am almost 18 years old and a month ago I developed some sort of anxiety disorder out of nowhere. I was previously about as mentally healthy as one can be. What is the best treatment option? I don’t want to go on pills but sometimes it is just unbearable and its ruining my life. Has anyone heard about The Linden Method? His website makes some big claims, and his fans on facebook seem to confirm them. Any help would be great.

Most of the times a patient having anxiety disorder is prescribed a SSRI. I think ideally treatment should consist of counseling , CBT , taking patients relatives in confidence and training patient about meditation and relaxation. Also adding Benzos like valium or klonopin can help immensely. I feel there is unnecessary bias against use of Benzos, they work extremely well without major side effect on short term basis, although there is possibility of addition , habituation and tolerance. What are views of experts and patients ?

I would like to know if it’s possible to completely get rid of the secundary effects of panic attacks and anxiety disorder and get back to your normal and pleasant life and get back your natural way of thinking, feeling and acting. I’ve heard about people who suffer from this for years and they cannot be the same as they were. Please let me know if you heard about people who got well (completely and forever). Thanks a lot!

I am positive that I have anxiety disorder. Will he prescribe them to me or send me to a shrink or what? I have looked into Klonopin and it looks like it would work well for me. But I don’t want to show up for my appointment and have the doctor think I am a regular 21 year old male looking for drugs.
