Ive hade GAD for over 30 years and 7 years ago experienced my first panic attack while driving to Florida. Over the past seven years I have been off and on Zoloft and recently was off for over 7 months. Last month I was hit with my second major panic attack. I decided to go back on the Zoloft (50mg). I read Lucinda's book From Panic to Power and was familiar with her program. I decided to purchase the program and are currently working ton the 3rd session. My goal is to rid myself of the medication and feel with hard work the program will get me there. I do feel its positive effects already. Good luck to all of you and its a pleasure to be a part of this community.

Hi and welcome,

I am on Paxil/Welbutrin right now and will be weaned off of clonazapam shorty. The clonazapam is taken just before I go to sleep at night.

Not everyone is able to completely go off meds and I may be one of them. I'm on session 3 of the program and I also attend a support group. It has been a long journey and for the first time in my life I am not only on meds. but am actively participating in helping myself get well and live life more fully.

Continue to do the program and I know that it will be helpful to you on the road to your own healing.
