Hello,
I found this board this morning. I suffer from severe anxiety/panic attacks. I don't know what the difference is anymore. I been on and off meds for the past 8.5 years. Currently taking NOTHING. I've tried breathing, vitamins and nothing seems to work. Would like to talk to others who suffer.
Thanks,
Hey
I found this website not that long ago too! I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks too and I can say I don't know the difference too. I've been given beta blockers to try and help, have you ever tried these? They don't help all the time but they do a bit.
I'm seeing a counsellor at the moment and she suggested breathing exercises but I told her that they weren't really helping and she admitted that they won't when you are really anxious. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm going to start seeing another counsellor soon, hopefully it'll get better Have you tried conselling? I'm happy to talk to you if you need me.

I've tried several meds. I as on Effexor off and on. Nothing now. I also had a complete hysterctomy about five years ago and currently use a hormone patch.
I have no energy and two kids in elementary school. I work full-time and really don't want to go in 3/4 of the time. I've been to the Dr. She keeps trying to put me back on meds and I keep refusing. As I sit here this morning, I just want to call in AGAIN. I did this yesterday. I feel like I'm going crazy. I've had my hormones checked and supposedly they are fine. I had anxiety attacks before the hysterectomy. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Thanks for listening
