yes I had GAD for about 8-9 months. it seems to have gone away but now I get random panic attacks when im under pressure or in places in which I cant escape at free will or when I feel trapped or stuck.. its bad because you don't know when it will happen. I go into something so optimistic and happy and then randomly I start panicking!! try some supplements they may help. ive used 5htp, multivitamins, fish oil etc and found them to be quite helpful.
