firstly - so glad i found this site - thanks to all who have and continue to respond to my posts.
hate to tell story again so in short - having troubles i contribute to hormones...irritablilty to the point of rage, weepiness and panic attacks.
the panic attacks are the MOST bothersome - have had two in two weeks and now am textbook in that am afraid of having another...so am associating things/people where the two happened...thus effecting daily life.
also besides the full on P.As have had a sort of anxiety for a while abt P.As b/c have had before - just not in a while.
SOooooo - have OB appt tom. they have already on phone said lexapro - i am scared of SSRI - i have a xanax scrip. i have been taking since the panic attack fri - i take 1/2 or 3/4 of a .5 and it works - makes me super tired and i feel sort of wasted - i am so senstive to drugs - at least no panic tho.
so if i kept w/ just xan. would the wasted feeling go away? or should i try ativan or klonopine daily? or as needed? i dont trust the doc - they are willing to call in lex over phone and put me on SSRI w/out even seeing me. or am i insane and b.c of this anxiety i actually need a SSRI? or try the Benzo's first and then move onto SSRI if needed?
what to do? PLEASE help ASAP.......would be great since appt is tom. THANKS!
