dear spun2tite,
i know what you mean with klonopin.
my dr prescribed me a small dose 3 years ago when i had my first panic attacks, and it always knocked me out.
it would put me into such a deep sleep i would drool- no lie.
i took it maybe 2-3x, and that was it.
Im fighting with myself
I have been prescibed xanax and have been taking it for a month. It helps a little bit, but I'm also scared of taking other meds. with it. I can only leave my house on good days. I don't have many of them. I have panic attacks 5-6 times a day. Can anyone relate to this. I want to go back to work, because I think it would help me keep my mind occupied, but I can't drive either. Can anyone shed some light on this. Nobody can understand what I am going through at home. HELP!!

Spun,
Though it's been some time since I've been on meds, (zoloft) I remember feeling similar. The meds were free, but I wouldn't take them right away. I finally got to a point where I couldn't stand being in my body anymore. Fear was controlling my life. I started taking them, and for about 6 months I didn't notice much positive change. I did go thru a coupla relationships due to one of the side affects so I took myself off. My friends noticed the change back to the way I was almost immediately. During one of my counseling sessions my therapist asked when I went off my meds. I couldn't believe they all noticed but I didn't. After getting back on, and applying some of her techniques, I learned to accept my condition, that it would take some time to get healthy, and mostly that I'm not alone in this.
Once I could accept myself and that there was help for me, the healing began. I was taken off 3 years later and continue to use the tools I learned (most of the time
).
Don't give up. Take the risk to take your life back. I don't believe you will ever regret it.

Do you take any vitiamins. they help me alot. Just a though. I can see a big difference in my moods and thoughts when I take them. I have even stopped taking them to see what happens and I start panicing stressing and get depressed. It works for me so I just though I would pass it on. Like you I hate taking anything but I feel better about all natural stuff than something that messes with my brain chemicals. Good luck
