hi MizzJuli *waves back*

I've also had anxiety since around 12, and have seen a number of psychologists/psychiatrists. Not quite as many as 20 tho, wow :o

If you have panic attacks all the time, sounds more like you have Panic Disorder or GAD.. but I could be wrong. If what u say about 'all the time' is mainly around other people than that could still be just social phobia. And hmm, I guess you can have more than one anxiety disorder.

btw, Ativan didn't seem to help me. But Klonopin (generic = Clonazepam) has helped me tremendously, and I am so grateful for it. I've tried SSRI's and they've done nothing near what benzodiazepines (like Ativan, Klonpin, and Valium) can do to calm my nerves and get me in a calm state.

welcome to the board :)
