Hi!

[S.Love7]

Hello, first off just wanted to say how glad I am that I'm not alone with anxiety! I always thought I was over reacting but I've finally come to terms with my condition. I'm 21 years old and feel like I'm running on empty. I first started with anxiety when I was 12. I watched my father die. After that I was put on klonopin, which really helped! After awhile I was thinking clearly until my mother passed away when I was 17. Again, I watched her die as well. Every since then I've been a complete wreck, debilitating anxiety and fear. I have panic attacks at least every other day, effecting my work, school, friends and family. The doctor put me on wellbutrin, but it's only made my situation worse. I go back next week and talk to the doc about fixing this. Do any of y'all have a suggestion about which medicine I should consider. I'd love some feedback and honest opinons! Thanks :)

First of all I'm really sorry you lost both of your parents so young. I can't imagine what that would be like :(

I can't say what medicine you should be taking, but after reading about depression and anxiety I think sometimes it can take some time to find the right medication for you, and unfortunately it's not always on the first try.

It's great to be open with your doctor and tell him/her what is going on, especially if your symptoms do not improve. Don't worry, there are many medications out there and you will find the one that helps you.
