Until a month ago I had not seen a doctor for 10 years. I have suffered with Panic Attacks, Anxiety, and Social Phobia for as long as I can remember but I HATE pills. (both parents and ex-husband are addicts) I finally broke down and went and was put on Zoloft, and Xanax. The Zoloft works well, but the Xanax does nothing to stop my panic attacks. I am only on 5mg, and I have had 3 panic attacks since I was put on the medication.
I have called my doctor to see if I should take TWO pills (10mg) next time I feel a panic attack coming on, but she hasn't called back yet. The way I feel about it is: I don't want to take medication if it doesn't do anything. So I either need to up my dose before I see her, or stop taking them altogether until I talk to her.
What should I do? Will taking 10mg hurt me? I don't want to make myself sick or take TOO MUCH medicine....
