I need meds!!!!

[Guest]

No advice but though I am 24 and have only had severe Panic for four years I am in the same boat.
I can't work, I can barely get myself to the store, I spend every day suffering. Unfortunately no SSRI/SNRI has worked for me, my only way out seems to start taking benzos long-term..... it's a scary thought considering how addictive they are.

Props for hanging in for 20 years, at 4 years I'm already losing my grip on things but I'm still hanging in there. If a medication helps stick with it though, I'm starting to see that I would rather become an addict but be able to live my life.

I went on meds for the first time at 25; now 32. It was not until than that I realized what I had felt for many years was not normal; and allowed me to concentrate and work on my real roots of the problems. Good Luck

I have been on meds for 11 years but have suffered with panic and anxiety since I was in grade school.Before meds I couldn't go out of the house, drive and so on. The first meds I was on 11 years ago was paxil and xanax. This got me out of the house in 3 weeks were I felt like a prisoner. Even though I gain alot of weight on it I had freedom. I wanted to try different meds cause of the weight gain all seemed to work for about 2 years last one I was on was Lexapro which I loved. But it stop quickly. So back in the house again. Went to the docs she put me on zoloft and xanax gain weight again but I'm out of the house. So a very long story if I have to take the meds and they make me fat so be it. I have the freedom to go and do what ever I like take care and don't be afraid
