I also suffer from anxiety/panic attacks.Mine started when i was put on an antibiotic for a nasal infection and i ended up being allergic to it.My infection wouldn't clear up and i felt worse and worse as the day's went on.I ended up taking this antibiotic for almost 1 month before the found out what was the problem.By then i was convinced that i was never going to feel better and begin having panic attacks.That was about 6 years ago.I never took any medication for it as i was paranoid of taking anything prescription.I have continued having attacks here and there.My anxiety level seem's to be worse in the winter as i have no friends and my husband works all day with our only car and i tend to be mostly inside all day with our kid's because of the michigan weather.About 2 months ago i started having trouble sleeping and i finally broke down and started taking something for my anxiety and it is called trazidone It has worked wonders for me and i am curious to see how the winter goes now.I have decided to join a group here it is called MOP'S (Mothers of preschool children)and i am so despritaly hoping to make at least one friend.I also see a counselor when i am having really troubled times but that is almost never but it does help to go and spill your gut's to someone.I find that if i am having a panic attack deep breathing exercises and just in general thinking that i have to be strong for my family and my dog's it really help's.
