*has – typo sorry.

And what is the name, please?

I am looking for the best person to go to, because I’ve got agoraphobia and I’m sick of it now. Whom should I visit ? Psychiatrist ? Psychologist ? Physio therapist ? Hypnoses ? Which one? If it’s none of the above, what do you consider best, for me to be completely cured ?

I want to be 101% free from agoraphobia again and start living the life I had before !

I know it sounds terrible, but I’m terrified of having a kid with a disorder of any kind, whether it be mental redartation, a physical disability, or some type of genetic disorder. I feel like I wouldn’t be willing to care for a child like that because of the frustration of knowing I’d never have a “normal” kid.

Is there a certain “-phobia” that describes this?

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…

Every time someone hears about my attacks, I get useless and banal “advice” on overcoming them. People with no real psychological education other than reading self help books and watching Dr. Phil. My favorite is “suck it up” and “be a man.” So anyone out there with panic disorder get this often or notice this? Does it bug you? How do you cope? It’s bad enough to have an illness that has you by the throat, but to endure constant ignorance is just salt in the wound.
10 years with panic disorder (agoraphobia on and off) Have been on Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa, Effexor, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc.

Tested for bi-polar and manic depression..hade neither, but was given Depikote “just in case” and it reacted badly.

i have gained 40 pounds taking zoloft . is there another medication i can take that wouldn’t make me gain weight and would help me with my panic disorder?

Yea, I know the answer is no right now, but I am being optimistic… do you think there will ever be a cure for Panic Disorder? and by cure, I mean, a way for doctors to correct the chemical imbalances in us, other than through meds?
