So idk what had happened the past 3 or 4 days but my panic attacks have gotten so bad! Literally like 3 or more a day. I finally had my doctors appointment yesterday and told him how I was feeling and that I pretty much had a panic attack in the waiting room(in my head.😣)
Anyways the panic attacks always pass, and I know that. And I also know by now that they are indeed panic attacks... I'm not dying.. im not having a stoke... I'm having panic attacks. So the problem is getting to where I don't keep having them
So I told my doctor that I wanted to actually TRY the buspar again, the first time I honestly didn't try it long at all. So he said that would be fine and he also wrote me a prescription for paxil. He said if the buspar didn't seem to help after a few weeks then give the paxil a try. He said it wouldn't take as long to kick in and it's a little stronger.
Last night I took my buspar as I was told, and went to sleep right away. This morning I woke up feeling a little nauseous, but thats okay.. I can deal with that, if it's even from the medication
I think I've finally got to the point where I think.. it's okay to lean on the help of medication. I'e tried to self help over and over for over a year & i just can' get out of the last little rut I'm in. So gonna take my medication & work this out. Here we go
It took me a long time to accept meds and I’m on very low dose Lexapro. I feel amazing. I’m now able to work on my anxiety where the thought of even trying before was too much. I do not like any meds in my system but I was causing more harm to myself emotionally and physically than good without them. Everyday I challenge myself a little further to desensitize. I am able to enjoy outings now and it’s amazing to stand in the line at the store and have conversations instead of feeling like I may pass out. I no longer hyper focus on my health nor do I have repetitive obsessive thoughts. It’s been a life saver.
Thanks so much for your positive response. This is what I want to achieve. I am on a very low dosage as well, hoping for the very best
