Thank you. Im on Prozac atm, It helps, but I still get those panicky feelings

 

I'm was always skeptical of using anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs.  The anti-anxiety drugs, like lorazepam (which is what they gave me), work so well to kill a panic attack that I could see how someone could get addicted to them easily.  I used one bottle of it and never got it refilled.  I am personally very affraid of becoming addicted to a medication, especially something that works on chemicals in my brain.  They gave me an anti-depressant also but I never took it.

Use the drugs for when you can't function because of the anxiety, but see a psychologist to find a more permanent solution to the problem.

I give that post a 9.5.



Thank god for the disable signatures option.
