Hey guys, Sorry but I just really needed to type out everything I’m going through right now in hopes I might feel a little better after I’m done.
I’m now 22 years old (birthday was yesterday), and I’ve been having panic attacks since I was around 6. I can vividly remember screaming for my parents in bed, complaining that my “heart was stopping”. Often I would force my dad to feel my heart and reassure me that I was ok.
When I was 17, the panic attacks started interfering with school. I started seeing a therapist, though he wasn’t able to do anything for my panic attacks and I finally found relief when I was put on 50 mg of Zoloft.
I’ve always hated the thought of being medicated my entire life, so about once every 2 years I’ve attempted to stop the zoloft. I’ve tried weaning off over VERY long periods, but every time I try to get off my panic attacks come back in full force. About 8 months ago I attempted another wean off the meds, and was successfully off the medication for about 3 months before I had a complete breakdown. I had to quit everything I was doing, work and school, and had to move back in with my parents and younger brother.
For the last 3 months I’ve been back on the zolof, but I finally found a program that’s natural and is supposed to completely cure you. A friend (brothers friend, to be exact) had great success and said he feels a thousand times better. He isn’t dependent on medicine anymore and he’s real happy about it. I have to say im quite impressed myself with the results so far (its been 2 weeks on the program). The program is called The Panics Cure System (www.thepanicscure.com). Anyone try it before? Awesome stuff (so far…) Im just worried that the effects might fade after a while or something.
Anyone get panic attacks?
