Well I am 33 and have been through some sever family trauma. I have 3 kids. been divorced now remarried. I smoked pot with my ex for about 11 years and took alot of ectacy before we got divorced 6 years ago. I have been drud free for 3 years now. But I am having serious issues with anxiety and depression. I had some therapy sessions and when we would try to do calming exercises I could not relax at all. Bursts of laughter etc. Just cannot sit still. I have tried zoloft and some other short term meds. I just want help and dont know where to turn. Thanks (Tue Oct 24 13:12 2006)

(Mon Sep 25 22:22 2006)
I have recently been told by a new psych doc that I am addicted to xanax...I have been on up to 4 mgs daily for YEARS and have now just found out that max dosage should only be used for a few weeks to months at a time ONLY... I am so devastated that someone I trusted so completely would allow me to become a danger to myself and to my child with a prescription!!! I am now at 1/2 dosage of the xanax with klonopine added but the new doc told me NOTHING about what to expect during detox!!! I have sweats and creepy-crawly feelings and shakes and nausea and headaches and fidgets and an strange inability to focus very well. I also have been irrational, irritable and lightheaded. Sometimes I "hear" things and my eyes are fuzzy. Is any of this normal or am I weird? Is there anything else I should know or is this all? Also how long does this process take? How long before I feel normal again? I cn cry again for the first time in a long while and since I am also going through a separation, this may or may not be a good thing...I am scared and I feel totally ashamed. I wish I had had some warning or at the very least been directed to a support system of some sort. Here I am out here trying to DETOX on my own from a drug my DOCTOR gave me for a DISORDER I STILL suffer from and it has all gone COMPLETELY WRONG!!! I am angry and afraid and ashamed and I just feel sick inside!!! Please...if anyone else has been through this and can help me see the light at the end of this tunnel, let me know because I feel like I am flying blind!!! (Tue Sep 19 18:47 2006)
Hi, I have had the same vision problems as Kelly and others here. I didnt know what it was. I was worried about it. I see "grainy", see floaters, am dizzy, feel like I am going to black out if I move around to fast or get up to quickly. I am worried about my sight so much I have anxiety on a daily basis now. I do not like the feeling of fainting or being light headed. Any suggestions on how to make things better? Thanks (Fri Jul 21 23:18 2006)

Stop smoking pot because it can definitely increase paranoia and lead to anxiety attacks. it can also create an anxiety disorder if you don't already have one. try exercise and yoga - it really works. you can email me at sanj_diwan@yahoo.com for some more help. (Thu Jun 29 2:20 2006)
My name is carrol and iam 18. REcently my mom died and ive had to get a job. Well this boss has been really annoying me. When i was going to a meeting all the sudden i felt like i couldnt breath, i felt light headed, also felt maybe i was going to faint. I thought something was terribly wrong but litening to youall i relize that this job is effcting me more then i thought. Thank you for helping me relize what was my problem. I find it so amazing that there are so many people out there and you are all willing to support each other. (Wed Jun 28 16:13 2006)
I'm 17. I did weed when I was 15 and when I quit I went through a year long anxiety phase. I'm able to prevent them now and I'm 80% over them but now I keep getting the most awful headache on my right temple. I was searching for symptoms of a brain tumour but I found this site instead and now I see that weed and fear of brain tumours seems to be common amongst most of us. The only advice I can offer is to STOP DOING WEED!! It triggers something bad and it's just not worth it in the longrun. It is possible to overcome anxiety. I overcame it because I became so angry that I vowed not to become a victim of it. When I stopped giving in to my stupid irrational fears the anxiety eased off.Please, please realise that YOU are in control and you have the power over anxiety!!! I really wish everyone all my love cause I know what a living hell it is. (Sat Jun 3 8:48 2006)
I have similar blurred vision, mostly and occasionally the text I read is double, one letter above the other, one darker than the other. I have had most of the medical testing done and the decision is that my migraines sometimes motate into the eyes instead of a rip-roaring head popping migraine, not sure which is worse, it is hard to read when double vision. I think the computer is starting it sometimes. (Mon May 22 10:31 2006)
I have nearly exactly the same symptoms Kelly. Dizziness, faintness and little bits of 'dust' in my eyes. I've had this everyday for the past two-three months. (Fri Apr 28 12:23 2006)
I get blurred vision once in awhile too, and the dizziness, and all the other symptoms you experience. they come and go with me. it's like the more i exercise the less anxiety i have. i also take l-theanine and that helps. (Wed Apr 5 20:38 2006)
Hi, I have been having trouble with my eyes for 2 years and have had lots of tests all of which have come back negative. I also experience dizziness, little 'blackouts' when I turn my head, lots of floaters in my eyes & a feeling of faintness. The doctors have all said this could be due to anxiety - I would love to hear from anyone else with simiar symptoms as I feel like I am going crazy sometimes and feel like there is something seriously wrong with me all the time! (Wed Apr 5 7:11 2006)
hello evreyone here is my story.
I'm 35 yr old married man, with no history of drug abuse excluding a little marajuana. I was hosting a bachelor party and decided to get some E for the party. I had only tried e once before and I took 2 capsules and had a panic attack that night, after waking up the next morning I felt a little jittery but otherwise OK. ThAT was one month ago I have had 3 panic attacks and a bit of a problem being around large groups of people
I went to the VA Hospital being a Vet of the Iraqi war I saw some pretty scary shit alot of blood and was anxious all the time. I saw a shrink and she prescribed lorazapam It seemed to help it has made me tired and evreytime I work out really hard exc: Basketball or weightlift to hard I get anxious and have a hard time breathing.
I spoke with a specialist and the most helpful piece of advice was to ride out it's ok to be anxious and make sure you breath and don't live in fear of this terrible thing. I have had no panic attacks in one week and about 5 anxious times when I couldn't breath right for a about an hour.
I strongly recomend excercise but don't over do it. Staying busy on projects...wash car keep your mind off having another attack.
That's my two cents. Can anyone tell how long it takes to get addicted to lorazapam?
I want to start weening myself of it.
To evreyone going through these attacks try and get a little better everyday. (Fri Mar 24 22:45 2006)

I experienced by first panic attack almost exactly one year ago. I really felt that I was going to die and no doctor could tell me otherwise. I took test after test and there was nothing wrong with me or my heart. I lived day by day for a long time in constent fear of death. I could not enjoy anything, not even things that I used to love. NOTHING WAS FUN ANYMORE. However, My doctor explained to me that it was anxiety and put me on effexor XR at the lowest dose possible. I took it once a day for six months and progressivly felt better with each month. It has been six months sense I took the medication and I no longer need it. My life is completely back to normal with no signs of panic coming back. It was the worst experience of my life but, it is now over. It will be over for you too. I didn't think I would ever beat it but I did!! (Mon Mar 20 19:09 2006)
im 16 yrs old and haven't been able to sleep well for weeks now, i feel disoriented, my herat bumps so loud i can feel it eveywhere, i feel like i could faint, im light headed, sometimes weak and this happens almost everyday. I've seen doctors got tests done, but none of them have diagnosed me, my family doctor says i am experienceing anxiety attacks but hasn't given me any kind of feedback, i just finished another set fo testsand i just want to hear from others who are exoeriencing the same thing! Some times i feel as if i am going to ahve a heart attack and die. My parents say its all psychological and will go away but they aren't, i am living in constant fear of reoccurances and when they do occur they get worse and worse...if anyone has any tips or techniques or relative comments on this plz write in at tkalick@yahoo.ca (Fri Mar 17 17:19 2006)

have you tried Kava Kava? Or 5-HTP? Kava can help to a degree. Research it. Look up Dr. Sahelian's website. A lot of good info there.

Joanne,
I know it is scary to have to rely on drugs, but believe me, it is not as scary as NOT taking the meds. I was helped by meds for many years. I am going thru a very hard time myself right now, but I've seen how meds can help and as they help you and you get to feeling better, you can SLOWLY wean yourself down to a lesser amount. That's what I did. Please get help and don't give up. If you want to die, what have you got to lose by trying meds?
LOve,Janet (Thu Mar 9 19:31 2006)
Anyone know of any herbs or vitamins that work on anxiety,social phobia? (Thu Mar 9 14:13 2006)

I am shaking 24/7, have not sleep for 2 weeks straight. Ive been to hospitals and neuralogist and they all said noting is wrong with me . Is this from anxiety. (Wed Mar 1 15:20 2006)

I have battled depression for 13+ years and anxiety 6+ years. Been on all kinds of meds. Recently am going for therapy and have been put on Cymbalta 60mg. And I take klonipine on the side. I suffer from severe sweating at work when having an attack, my face gets beet red- and people look at me and ask " are you ok?" Any more I just tell them "I'm an alcoholic" ! God, is there any help for this? Please...Please...
Email any helpful info to shaggyfield@aol.com (Fri Feb 17 9:43 2006)

I started to get this heavy chest pain but it felt like my chest was opening and i could barly talk i thought i was have a stroke because my right side was going numb on me . I had a heavy sensation on the back right side of my head all the way down to my feet.....It would hit me in intervals like it wouldnt be so heavy then it would come on.... i got scared and was rushed to the hospital... They ran a AKg and took blood... I had another check up and they put me on a tread mill to check my heart everything came back fine... Now every time i spoke weed i get this heavy feeling in my chest sometimes to my stomach like im cramping internally... Someone can you email me if you have these same problems... nokmalo@gmail.com (Tue Jan 24 16:33 2006)
I read that some of you have trouble with the sunlight and bright lights. I was wondering if you had ever noticed wavy lines or "heat waves" in bright sun. I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and was wondering if anyone else had this problem. My doctor simply said it was just the sun playing tricks on my eyes. (Wed Jan 18 8:35 2006)
I've read many of your stories and can relate to all of them. I have been dealing with physical symptoms of anxiety for a little over two years now. when it first happend i thought i might be dying (but in the back of my mind i knew this wasn't happening). after this i pretty much felt anxious all the time. i felt like my life was just one long panic attack. i remember pleading with myself for just a 5 minute respite from this. eventually i got it. i tried (and am trying) to buld from here. when things get really bad i just remind myself how bad it was at first and then I calm down. i know that i'm not dying, that there's nothing wrong with my heart, etc. it's all just muscle tension caused by stress/anxiety. mentally i am feeling better, however physcially i am feeling pretty bad. basically my whole body aches and i experience indigestion and constipation. i feel right now that i need to do something else to get over this. i'm trying to exercise regularly now and am thinking about smoking marijuana regualrly again. when i smoke i usually begin to feel really anxious but i also am more aware of what's happening and can control it. it sort of forces me to deal with it head on. and once i can put it into perspective i win. good luck everyone. (Mon Jan 16 19:38 2006)
For the anxiety try taking a good multi-vitamin.vitamin b-50, l- theanine. (Wed Jan 11 12:03 2006)
For the past 3 years i have been expierencing some sort of headaches that make the left side of my head eather seem numb or seem like it's on fire. also i have palating at m temples. any one else have this? I also believe im having some kind of anxiety problom due to sometimes feeling as if my heart is alwas racing... any suggestions?? (Wed Jan 11 3:46 2006)
I am 41 and figured out i have probably have had this since like i was 10. i cannot handle any stress what so ever or bad news. just typing makes me sick. reading, tv cooking at times talking. i had breast cancer, my baby died, my sister has aids, i broke my leg. so now i also have post traumatic stress disorder. i was also beat up and mentally abused for 7 yrs by ex husband.
i applied for disability and they denied my but i am fighting all the way. i have been to the er with the heart thing and my ekg comes out bad and they run all these test and find no heart problems. at times all this makes me get flu symptoms. i egt into deep depressions. half the time ihave no energy and i use to be the life of the party.
has anyone had disability approve them for this? i take 40 mg of paxil and klonpin 10 mg a day. if they give you meds take them i stopped and i almost flipped out. my family was scared to leave me alone.
suisanet@aol.com (Mon Jan 9 18:36 2006)

I can relate to what you are going through sheila. this last sunday i had my family christmas party. for over three hours i was having anxiety. a few times i walked to the door to leave but i made myself stay. i'm finding that the battle is in my own mind. one thing i have done is dig into the bible on healing. man, what a difference that has made.also i've been taking omega-3 fish oil,magnesium,l-theanine along with my other vitamins. the l-theanine seems to help, especially if i take 200 mg. i recently have been trying 5-htp every other day. i'm easing my way into the 5-htp because i've read where some people have had different side effects, but i've also read where alot of people felt immediate change in their anxiety/panic attacks with no side effects. everybody is different. so far for me, i can tell a difference with no side effects.i am a good listener, if i can help anyone, i can be reached at lemiller67@aol.com. (Wed Dec 21 21:22 2005)
HI, for the past few month now i have been having panic attacks. Especially when i have to go somewere or where I know there are people. Even before i go I think I will faint.

I dont go anywere anymore because iam afraid that i will faint. Will I really faint or is that just the way i feel. Can someone help me on this please. Christmas is coming up and I want to spend time with family please help. (Wed Dec 21 16:02 2005)
i am just getting used to this sorry (Wed Dec 14 21:52 2005)
i hope you don't mind me butting into the conversation but i have the same thing. it's like alot of the panic is in my head. i have a serious problom with the sun, bright lights, night driving, and heat. i find it hard to focus and a little light headed. i feel this way a period of time before, during and after a panic attack. i have tried to explain it to people but nobody understood what i was talking about. and yes, i wear sunglasses as much as possible. thanks for posting that and i hope that someday we can resolve it. (Wed Dec 14 21:51 2005)
Hi my name is Tessa and I am having the worst attack in the world right now. Ii feel so terrible. I am letting it get the best of me. I am so afraid of throwing up that's why I have anxiety.I have had anxiety for the past 4 years. I am only 13 years old and have developed a very convincing mind that I am always sick with the flu.I absolutely need some kind of answer or help to get for this anxiety because I cannot take this feeling anymore.I have tried equine therapy a couple of years ago and that helped alot but then the lady who helped me moved away. I have tried counselling and that did not help. I am stuck on ideas on how to help get me through anxiety attacks.I have tried everything except pills because I don't want to start them and I am not old enough to have them. I really do not know what to do for this anymore. if you have any suggestions on how to help me please let me know. thank-you (Sat Dec 10 17:45 2005)
Robin, I just wanted to say "you are not alone" I am 36 also and have had panic and anxiety disorder since I was about 6 years old, it only got worse after I had my daughter who is now 16. So for the past 16 years they come and go. I just wanted to say, YOU ARE A STRONG PERSON!! just because you have panic attacks doesn't mean you are a weak person! They are the scariest thing you will ever feel, they never seem to go away and because we think they are the scariest thing and they will never go away..we ourselves keep feeding them the food they need to continue haunting us. I am at this time having the worst attack I have had in years and for some reason I am letting it kick my butt. I know all the symptoms, I know I should keep taking my pills but, hate to, and yet, I know I am a very strong person, and you just need to remember that even though there are bad days, there are ways that the good days will outway the bad ones. I take Prozac, especially around the holidays, but anyothere time of year I dont need it as much so I go down to everyother day or twice a week. Not all Meds are addicting, and if it makes you feel better and manage your everyday life, what is it going to hurt?
I have two kids, run my own business, have employees, a dog, a home and married for 16 years and I still get overwhelmed with anxiety, doesn't make me a bad person and even when I am feeling a lone, I am not. I know all this but still let this disorder take over. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me know that I two am not a lone...family and friends don't understand what it is, it is nice to know I am not buy myself!!!
and neither are you...i also believe that panic and anxiety is your body's way of saying it is tired and time to slow down. Maby you need to focus on yourself and take care of you. It is okay to have a bad day or week, but if it goes on longer than that perhaps that is when you should seek other help.Cause belive it or not sometimes we need to say....okay...I need a little help here...doesn't make you a bad person or a weak person..remember all the symptoms for panic and anxiety,and if you have a hard time getting thru them remember there are hundreds of others of us out here with the exact same feeling of helplessness.
(Thu Dec 8 20:58 2005)
Mary, i am so happy to read your post. I have the same exact feeling, and i describe it the same exact way to my girlfriend, hard to focus and like being buzzed. Its such a good feeling to know i'm not crazy and someone else (unfortunately) is having the same problem. I do experience it also sometimes when i am driving if i know i am going to be in a situation that might make me feel uncomfortable. Bright light situations seem to make it worse, especially bright flourescent lighting. Try sunglasses when driving, he won't realize it as much. Yes it is most likely just from anxiety. Thats what my doctor told me. Well the best of luck, Mike blazzer66@aol.com (Tue Dec 6 3:08 2005)
Hi, I had a inner ear infection a couple months ago, which caused me too be off balance. I have become very afraid, I wont go anywere or do anything because Iam afraid I will faint. If I have to go somewere I began to panic, because Iam so afraid I will faint. Can someone help me will I really faint or is that just the way it feels. Thank you Susie (Thu Dec 1 17:49 2005)
I was wondering if anyone has experienced vision problems due to anxiety? My husband has been going through this for over a year and we are not sure what it is. he tries to explainthat its hard to focus (especially while driving) - he says it feels like he had a few cocktails and feels a sort of "buzzed" sensation affecting his vision. He has gotten tests by so many doctors and they all say he is fine. Please, can anyone help? Thanks. (Thu Dec 1 14:58 2005)
I have to say that I am amazed there are so many of us out
there. I have felt truly alone. I am trying to commit to a
non-med approach but have some doubts. I am a very
logical person and I keep thinking "if i could figure out
what's causing these attacks, i can fix it". I've given up
coffee, cut back alcohol, no drugs, no sugar. Lots of
water. Itake a multi-vitamin, calcium, folic acid, st johns
wort, magnesium, valerian. I thought I had this kicked a
week ago. I was feeling GREAT for 2 weeks, than
WHAM! ... now it's consumed my every minute again,
looking for a cure. I am 36, female, have never had any
anxiety or panic or any other disorder my entire life. And
my life has been pretty tough. I used to joke that i was so
tired of hearing "YOU ARE SUCH A STRONG PERSON". I've
carried the weight of the world on my shoulders. Take
care of sick elderly parents, had a bad divorce 6 years ago
becasue of his infidelities, had one bad relationship after
the other. Most of my friends have moved or moved on.
I'm really alone. And then I thought I met the man of my
dreams this past summer, (well, he's a co-worker I've
know for 3 years). He said all the right things. I got
pregnant, then miscarried. The day after the miscarriage I
caught him 'carrying on' with a new 22-year-old hire in
my department. (and yes we all still work together and
yes they're still together). I miscarried on August 18th.
On September 16th I was attending a baby shower and
WHAM had my first panic attack and first ride in an
ambulance EVER (had about 4 rides since then). Tried
meds, stopped meds, Hated Meds!!!, Xanax worked great
until i realized how addicting .... HELP. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

I sufferred from depression and anxiety about a year ago. My doctor presribed Lexapro which helped at 10 mg for depression, but not anxiety. He then upped the dose to 20 mg which helped for both. It also worked fairly rapidly, about 2 wks. (Mon Nov 28 15:44 2005)
I started getting panic attacks in october of 2004 at the age of 26. It started as a nagging pain in my chest which caused me to worry that it was cardiac related, untill one day i felt the pain and freaked out. I got light headed and my heart started pounding, i could feel a tingle/numbness/heat starting in my chest and spreading out through my body. I went to the hospital where after giving me an ECG, they told me it was just stress. Over the next couple of weeks i had a few similar episodes, followed by numerous ECG's, a consultation with a cardiologist etc... All turned up nothing. They still diagnosed it as stress. A Dr. in the ER prescribed ativan for me to help me with stress. Bad idea... Sure it stops a panic attack from happening, as long as you continue to take it every day. Unfortunately it's not a drug you can use long term. I ended up addicted to it. If i didn't take it, i would suffer withdraw symptoms, which are quite similar to the symptoms that caused me to panic, i.e. pounding heart, chest pain etc. finally my family doctor diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and offered me paxil. I didn't take it. i was too frightened about the nature of the drugs (ssri's) and i really didn't think it was anxiety. I truly believed there was something wrong with my heart. This went on for months, and the longer it went on, the more convinced i was that i had a heart problem, regardless of my cariologists assertions that my heart was working perfectly. I eventually got help from a psycologist who worked with me and also had me see a psychiatrist who prescribed celexa. In total, i spent about 6 months in constant fear of having a heart attack, and visiting the emergency room at least 2 or 3 times a week before i was put on celexa. After about three months of taking the celexa, my anxiety was much more controlable. they increased the dosage slowly to 40mg's which has made an improvement. I almost never have flare ups, and am back to ordinary living. On the rare occaisions when i have a bad day, i can feel the beginnings of an attack, but it never precipitates. It's like the celexa loosens the elastic band in my brain that's always ready to snap, so it won't snap so easily. Of course anxiety and panic will never completely go away, but because of the celexa i have the opportunity to address the attack with tools i learned in therapy.
