I can only speak from my own experience.

Back in 2011 I had severe anxiety that was health related (always thinking I was having a heart attack or some other major problem) and I went to a local...

I think I've finally had a break through on the topic. I've been living with it for a long time but I never really bothered with trying to solve the root issue. I always assumed that the main thing...

Thank you for your long and informative post. I really do appreciate that.

As far as the issue goes it hasn't improved. I found an app called Amwell which allowed me to speak with a therapist via...

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted. Things have been ok for me but I've been having an issue that I have neglected to address for years now. I never considered it a possible part of my...

The only thing with that which confuses me is that it's been 3 years since I stopped smoking and the lung pain issues only started this year. Also, the bronchitis. I've had 2 confirmed cases of it...

Hey again everyone. I guess my anxiety has circled around again and is wanting to give me fits!

Here is what I am going through right now, for the last couple of months I have been on opiod pain...

Yeah, that's what I was concerned with. The last thing I need is a xanax dependancy. The good news is that I finally got past the bad part of the Tramadol withdrawals and don't really need the xanax...

Hey everyone. I haven't been here in a while but I've got a concern and I'm hoping to get some advice on it.

I'll spare you all of the long details and just catch you up to where I am now. For...

I completely agree with you. I didn't want to take the tramadol but they told me it would be fine. I know for a fact that the government has no idea what they are doing when it comes to meds....

Hey, you have THE number one anxiety symptom! I have been through it as have most on the forum. Chest pain is an easy one when it comes to feeding itself. You are anxious so your muscles tense, this...

I wish mine was but he's running from the DEA like everyone else. I chose to quit the norco on my own though but if I asked for anymore they wouldn't give it to me. The darn tramadol was given to me...

I would hope they would be ok with it.

I would recommend that you get your employer to give you the paper work for FMLA. If you get this and your doctor signs off on it you could have "rolling"...

Because it's classified as "low risk of addiction" and this makes the doctors feel better about themselves. They don't bother figuring in how much trouble it takes to stop it as part of the...

It's hard to get benzos here in the US. Doctors do not want to prescribe them. The DEA made new rules last year and if they feel that a doctor is prescribing something un needed or over prescribing...

Ah yes, this is a classic scenario, being stuck somewhere with panic and nothing you can do about it. I think you should work in baby steps, try to go out but stay close to home and gradually go...

Indeed it is.. My grandmother passed not long ago and very shortly after my grandfather had to be admitted to the hospital for health issues and all he wanted was to go and be with her. He however...

Firstly, welcome to the forum, this is a group of people who share a similar situation in life, we all have experience in one way or another will all of the various anxiety issues and we are all...

I used a combination of vaping (e-cig) and a product called snus from Sweden.. If you're gonna go the vape route which I would recommend make sure you get yourself a good set up, not some cheap thing...

I have had good luck with nasacort nasal spray as well as Mucinex cold, I will also take alka seltzer cold as well..

The thing I have found is that if I take the cold version of a med it helps...

That is 100% correct, if you get the anxiety under control you will find that you don't need the ativan anymore, I only take it when needed and sometimes it's 2-3 a day for a week, sometimes it's one...

As far as the 10 years part I was referring to the age of the thread but yes, panic attacks have been around for a long long time, they just didn't always call them that.

This is the most frustrating thing about it too. I can't count the times I sat in front of a doctor or PA or whatever and told them exactly what was going on with me, why, when, how, and what to do...

I had a nurse tell me once to take it. The doctors won't give you the benzos you need for short term relief so they nurse says, well since he won't give you those pills just take benedryl, it has the...

10 years! That's gotta be a record!

I generally just tell people to imagine the scariest thing they have ever been through and then tell them to imagine that feeling being in your head and not...

Welcome to the forum! I too had anxiety issues coming from my work, it's what set me off in the first place. The best thing you can do is find another job, I know.. bad advice but honestly once I was...
