Hi....I have been having panic/anxiety attacks approx. 6 yrs. now. I first thought i was having a heart attack. Several trips to the E.R,many Doctor visits, test, etc. I realised it was my nervous system going wild. Been on everyhing known for anxiety/ depression, nothing worked. Some I think bout killed me!, as I found Doctors dont want tp prescribe narcotics. After a nervouse breakdown, 2 days in the mental ward, My Doct. finally put me on
Xanax 0.5, but graduated to 2 mgms x 3 daily. I wish i could live without it, tried to cut down to 1/2 the dosage for 2 months but had continual attacks, so had to resume old dosage. I feel so helpless,Most anti-depressants increased anxiety as well, and i am so depressed too......Well, sorry to drag on this way, but I'm new to the board, thought I would introduce myself........Nice to meet you all...
