Hello, I have decided to join this forum to better educate myself about anxiety/panic problems and maybe even be able to help someone else or give advice. I am a 27 year old male from Western Canada, I have suffered from some degree of anxiety for most of my adult life, however it has worsened in the past 5 years and I finally sought help last year. I am currently struggling, trying to find something that works. I did excellent on Clonazepam, but my doctor told me I could not longer take it after 6 months, and have since been threw many different medications, none doing much more then put me to sleep. I did start a thread going into more detail in the Medications Forum. I work as an aircraft mechanic, and my anxiety is making work really hard, as I have a hard to concentrating, and have been taking time off lately as I have been experiencing bad panic attacks and light-headedness etc. I have also spoken to a psychiatrist twice, she gives me a bunch of breathing exersizes and stuff to do. I don't normally respond to these sorts of new age things, but I went into it openminded, hoping to find releif, but it just doesnt work. I am hoping eventually my doctor finds a med which works and which he will let me take long-term. Anyhow, I look forward to chatting with you all and getting to know you.
