I suffer from panic disorder but I want to have a baby, i’m scared that i will be pregnant and have panic attacks and that this will negatively affect the baby…any thoughts/experiences?

I suffer from pretty severe panic attacks at times and although I always hear they are harmless, I would like to hear from someone who has been there, done that, and has lived a long life.

I’m 13 and i found out about 3 years ago. I just want people who are going through it to talk to. I also have a thyroid problem and i need some one to talk to. Please post if you know what I’m going through and can help me.

I teach a high school psychology class and I want to show my students documentaries about phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I’ve been having trouble finding any, though. Can anyone suggest any documentaries or programs available on DVD that are about phobias or OCD?

I currently take 50 mg of Paxil daily and use Xanax as a backup, I am not a recreational drug user, but wonder if anyone has tried marijuana to ease the symptoms of panic disorder and what the results were?

I recently had a bladder infection, and because of this I developped an anxiety/panic disorder. I fear going anywhere where I don’t know if there’ll be a bathroom. I can’t sit in school, or a car because sitting in a closed place makes it worse. Home is ok because there’s a bathroom. But, I’ll get really warm and feel a panic attack coming when I’m faced with these situations. I haven’t heard of many attacks like that, but my doctor said some people get them like I do. I’m on meds now, but can anyone help with a way to relieve the anxiety I feel? Thanks.

I got a panic disorder, always feared for absolutey no reason, n i only work a part time job cuz of it. I take celexa 20 mg for 3 weeks now, startn to feel a lil better, just wondrn if it works for panic attacks and how long it takes to feel good again? any info on it would be great.

I suffer from panic disorder for a couple of years now. I have gone to psychiatrists, psychologists, read books & been on medication. Most of the time i feel horrible. I would just like to know if there is actually a person out there who has recovered from panic disorder without the drugs, which i absolutely cannot handle. And i’m not talking about those infomercial people, which you are not sure if they are being honest or not. Panic disorder is hell on earth & i would like to know if anybody has been able to escape it…

I have severe anxiety, mild panic disorder, ADD, and my mind is always racing with thoughts.

I don’t want to take any prescribed medication since I have heard of all the nasty side-effects. I’ve been researching natural remedies such as kava kava and GABA. Anyone have actual experience taking a supplement that helped or didn’t help? Give details please!
