Hi tealady. Thanks so much for your help. I know what you mean about ssri's. It's hard for me to believe that some folks here are actually helped by them. I think that more patients are harmed by ssri's, but that's just my impression from reading hundreds and hundreds of Internet posts over many years. That's certainly not a very scientific way of approaching it, is it?
Regarding your anxiety and panic, I had panic attacks about 10 or so years ago that were brought on by an insane med combo that an even more insane doctor had rx'd for me. When I got off that combo, the panic attacks went away. Until they went away, I found that swimming helped my breathing and the anxiety. I also bought some excellent self-help tapes from the MidWest Center for Stress and Anxiety and, of course, Klonopin helped.
