Went to town, after having a relatively calm day, go into the store, got light headed and feel like I almost passed out....you guessed it, that brought on panic. I couldn't get out of there fast enough! 
I've had a clear ekg, blood work all came back normal, clear chest xray.... why do I feel this way?!?!? I take 10mg buspirone twice a day, and most of the time I feel normal, or close to it, but these "off" days....geeeeez!
Rosiemarie82, unfortunately, anxiety can break through our medications at times.
It's not about our meds not working as much as it is about our mind overworking 24/7.
It's like having a faulty alert system in our brain and just as soon as a new place is sensed,
(the store) a red alert goes off in our brain. Once that happens we have 2 choices. Either
to run out of the store or call anxiety's bluff. After all it is nothing more than that even though it feels like we are at death's door.
The thing Rosiemarie is in finding a tool that works for you so that when you are out
and you feel as if something is about to happen, you will have the control you need within
moments. Even a pill can't work as fast as using our own method in calming our mind down. If you haven't tried deep breathing, please take a look at it on YouTube. It is one
of the easiest ways to calm the mind and body within moments. It reduces heart rate,
slows down adrenaline rush and takes away those awful butterfly feelings. Quick and easy
w/o having to rush out of the store. Did you ever realize that the reason our anxiety calms down when we leave has a lot to do with moving our muscles using up the adrenaline physically which then leaves us mentally calmer.
You still did good in going to town. Endorse yourself for that. Trying is always a success.
We fail when we don't give ourselves a chance and just let anxiety make the choices.
Relax tonight but don't allow today to govern what you do tomorrow. One day at a time

Thank you for the kind reply. I try not to let it control my life. I have a vacation planned for the last week of the month, so I've been trying really hard to keep it together til then.....hoping it will do some good to get away for a few days, though it'll be my first flight, and I am terrified!
I usually can handle the break through anxiety, but if I get in a panic, I lose it 
I have a secondary medication, but I despise using it, bc I feel bad for days if I take it.
It will get better eventually.
Off days suck!
Hi rosiemarie82, I feel you, I have been taking Zoloft and have been doing great until yesterday. Now for the last 2 days I keep having bouts of anxiety and feeling light headed and nauseas out of nowhere. I have to remind myself that this too shall pass and concentrate on my breathing which does help. It is very frustrating but take comfort in knowing you are not alone.
It will get better ♡
Thank you for your reply, and I know I'm not alone, so happy I found this site
I have found more answers here than anywhere. My husband is very sympathetic to my situation, but I know without going through it (which I wouldn't wish on ANYBODY), he will never completely understand.
Isn't it crazy how you feel the need to run. I don't know what I am running from or where I am going, but I just have to flee.
I think I just feel more at peace at home, always have (not in an agoraphobic kind of way). My husband is home (asleep) during the day, so if I get too far gone I can get his help, so I get peace knowing that...but at the same time, my anxiety is on high alert when I'm home "alone".
I have only been unconscious once in my adult life, and that was for surgery, so when I thought I was going to pass out, it sent me off the deep end. Sometimes I think maybe I have control issues, because the thought of being out of control sends me into a panic!
Can someone help please
Anxiety is so dumb -_- 
I miss my son......
Anxiety making me feel like death is near
