I had a major panic attack a little over 3 years ago. That started the cycle into chronic anxiety, some depression and migraines. I've been doin really well with time, medication and counseling. The past few months have been very hectic for me and I'm having some mild symptoms again. Head pressure, lightheadedness, headaches. I'm writing this to say there is hope and you can get out of the anxiety cycle. I'm still on my medication but I need to relax and take time doing things I enjoy. Oh, and I actually had another panic attack a couple of weeks ago...hadn't had one since the first one 3 years ago. But it does get better, but not on its own, you have to work at it.
And as far as recovery time? It took a while, like about a year before I started to feel normal again. It's not an overnight thing, unfortunately. My first panic attack sent me to the ER, thought I was dying.
It took me about 9 months before being sent to a neurologist who actually said I was having chronic migraines. He put me on Effexor which just so happens is also given for anxiety. It's done wonders for me. Maybe you should look into it? Have you tried any medication?
Yes i take meds. I been dealing wit anxiety and depressing snice 2012 not soo bad as it is now, anxiety has really took a troll over my body snice my best friend passed away in September
