Hi again!
I have some questions about panic disorder.I'm leaving a really bad moment with panic attacks who are trigger by things like driving the car... or that happen suddenly...
Before, I had only panic attacks... now I live in a constant anxiety state.
I have pins and needles pain in my left arm, dilated pupils in the eyes (big black circle),pain in my face, my chest... My hands and foots are always sweating, I have strong insomnia (difficulty to stay asleep), have burning eyes, strage pain in the head ( I always think that I have some peoples who play with my brains), constant fatigue, dizness, abdominal pains... and the list goes on...
I meet my PDoc next week and I don't know what to think about the situation. Don't know what to ask to try next, since I have a lot of anticipatory anxiety...
Someone have the same symptoms then mines from panic disorder? Are they normal or the numbless feeling in the chest and arm is not normal and related to a heart attack???
I'm so worried about the situation.... Living in a such high state of anxiety is really freaking!!!
Some idea for a good med who will decrease the constant anxiety feeling and panic attacks?
For now, i'm only taking 8mg of Rivotril/ady...divided in 4 doses of 2 mg... and that's not getting ride of my anxiety at all... seem that it's not effective at all... but if I decrease the amount of Rivotril I used, so less than 8mg, I feel more anxious!!! Strange...
No TCA's, MAOI's, SSRI's or SRNI's... I try all of them and they don't work at all, little exception to the Paxil but it make me fat... I also try in the past severals meds like Mirapex, Lyrica, Gabapentin, topamax, inderal, Clonodine, Sabril (only avaible in the Canada)...and others meds that I don't remember...nothing seem to work...
The only meds I don't try are things like Epival (acid valproic or sodium), Lamictal, Lithium...
Any good advises will be welcome!
Thanks!
Vincent :-)
