Thanks - Anxiety Message Board

AliRah · 02-20-2005, 05:02 PM

I have been suffering anxiety and panic disorder for many years. I have posted on this board many time inquiring regarding different medications such as Paxil, Effexor, Remeron and so on. I tried them all without much success .

My doctor finally put on Xanax .5mg three times daily and I am finally able to be the person that I was before.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you that responded to my thoughts. I never thought that I would ever write on one of these boards but I have to admit that after I got done letting out my frustrations I actually felt a little better (well at least I did once I got over the embarrassment of writing about my problems). After I received all the responses that I did I felt even better about putting myself out there to try and get help. So again I would like to say thank you to each of you for your responses.

Regards,
Ali

You were finally able to be the person you were before? What if the person you were before was not a person at all? Then you would be in my boat.

Grew up being made mush of. Never knew girls. Was shyest kid in school, now to have it develop into social phobia and agoraphobia. Depression as well.

Every time I pass ANYONE by, the thought in my mind that never fails to step forward is "what is this person going to do to me?" I cannot attend social gatherings. The closer I get to trying to go the more I panic. The thought of even being there is scary enough... an impossibility.

God help you in your life. I will never have one.
