they arent actually obsessive compulsive disorder but has to do things on a schedule at the same time everyday.

She started having panic attacks in the mourning and blackouts. She went to the Doctor and he perscribed anti-depressants for her and told her she had a chemical inbalance. The Doctor didn’t test her or anything he just asked her question for about ten minutes then perscribed anti-depressants. He later then got his license to practice medicine taken away. Her panic attacks went away but eventually she will have to go off the medication. I have been reading about panic attacks and I am psych major so I understand a little bit about the brain and disorders can anyone help shed more light on the subject of panic attacks and black outs?

What is a good online support group for generalized anxiety disorder?

I took Paxil for 9 years (40 mg) for Panic Disorder and am almost completely off of it and onto Lexapro (10mg). The reason for the change was several factors: weight gain (when I NEVER gained weight no matter how hard I tried), no sex drive on Paxil. Now that I’m almost off of Paxil and onto Lex, i’m worried about the continuing issue with my weight. Paxil was FABULOUS for my anxiety and Lex has been fine so far too (except for diarrhea), but would Wellbutrin XL be better to take b/c it doesn’t report as much weight gain? I tried it once before (taking it with Paxil to help increase sex drive…it didn’t do anything) but am unsure if it’s good for panic since i’ve really only heard of it being used for depression. Any experience with this?????
I will be discussing this with my doc this week, but wanted to hear from personal experience with those who have used Wellbutrin for panic and how it affected weight/anxiety symptoms.
I’ve had anywhere from minor to major diarrhea the entire time on Lexapro.

I’m new at this internet stuff but feel totally alone in the loss of my father, step father and great Aunt, all in the space of about 3 weeks, when I’m stressed I suffer with panic disorder as well, plus I’m in New zealand and long way from home (uk), and panic disorder, caused by the stress of the grief, is stopping me from getting on a 26hour plane journey.

I have many many anxiety attacks a day and it gets worse day by day and I really dont want to be put on meds. Is there any natural way to go?
