Morning all. Hope you are all well today?
So I have bouts of anxiety and panic attacks and I don't know why!!!
My first panic attack was Christmas Day 2015 and I didn't know it was a panic attack!
I went like this until Feb. Had all the tests in the world and nothing was found. Eventually my body was crippled with panic and anxiety and I had to call in sick!!! Never in my whole career have I Called I. Sick!
4 days and I felt terrible so my gp gave me diazopan and told me I needed to take it to rest my body from the anxiety. I did under protest and was so scared.
I was on 20mg then 40mg for 6 months. July I stopped them stupidly and now Christmas 2016 I have anxiety, panic attacks and severe tiredness 😭
Sad to say you sound like you have to go back on AD medications.
Sometimes whe can feel ok when on the drug, the problem is when we stop taking them we revert to what we were like before

Hi Louise I take gabapentin 100mg 3x a day which helps with my anxiety. I have Xanax also just in case. I have been going throgh anxiety since Oct 26, 2016. Im
currently not working due to the anxiety. I let it get its grip on me and I feel like a weak person for letting this happen. I had anxiety 13 years ago when I was in perimenopause and now it's back and I'm now post menopausal. Haven't had a period in 18 months. My hormomes are all over the place. Hot flashes are really bad right now too. I have myself convinced it's hormonal.Went to my GP last week because of chest discomfort and he said it was my anxiety causing it. I was very stressed over Christmas this year and me not feeling well.I want to go back to work but my mornings are really hard. Seems like im more anxious when I first wake up. My job requires me to be in at 7:30am. Im so tired during the day from not sleeping well at night. I just don't know what to do anymore. I want me back
I'm not recommending this but if you can try not to take medication with anxiety as you can do it by just training yourself.
I have same problem i have to deal with financial stress and when things dont go as planned i get so stressed it's unbelievable and then in fee days i get anxiety and panic attack the most i take is a paracetamol.
