I just started Klonopin on Wednesday and Saturday my mom made me stop taking it because she said I was acting blurred and sleepy! And I was sleepy, but the doctor said after two weeks he’d knock me down to .5 mg, if I still had these side effects. Anyway to convince my mom to let me back on them?

I’ve been on some medications in the past, none of them cured me only made things a little bit more managable and I was curious if anyone had a great success with any.
Its a medical problem for me, it has nothing to do with "stress" or "worry", I’ve had the condition for the past 12 years or so. Sometimes it seems worse than others and I can get by with out Meds, but unfortunalty now I’m in a bad time.

For the past year, i have had panic/anxiety disorder and sometimes get extremely anxious and need to leave rooms and catch my breath for a while.

Should i get my mum to call up a teacher and tell them just in case something happens?
If so, what should she say to them?

Hello

I am trying to find information regarding how countries other than the United States treat panic disorders with or without agoraphobia–for example, Japan or Africa, Spain…basically wherever as long as it differs from the U.S. in some way. I’ve tried googling but have had no luck.

If you know, do you mind stating your source? I will have to cite it, as this is for a paper. I need to get a global perspective on this disorder.

Thank you!

This question is for a research paper in my drug abuse class. Any insite would be awesome. I am also personally interested to know what the high is like without having to experience the drug…first hand accounts would be great!

I have had anxiety and panic attacks for 8 years now. I have been having night sweats for sometime now and it is getting to be more often. I have flushing in my face alot and ringing in my ears. Has anyone else ever had this problem?
I’m 42 years old.

My uncle who is 18 has a problem. He has a panic disorder and all I want to do is help what can I do to tell him I am here for him and that I can help,

Does anyone know from experience of any good inpatient/resident panic disorder treatment centers in the US? None of them I found have listed the price. Curious about that too.

Drugs won’t work; now, I am really not into the material, and serious advice, medically or emotionally, is out of my knowledge or imagination…

Any idea?

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?

knowning what kind of things can trigger it because i’ve had panic attacks before and it’s always because of the same issue, she knew that her talking about a certain thing could bring it on so why did she talk about it?

Also, it’s documented by the doctor.

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 have Panic Disorder but haven’t had a panic attack for like a month. I experience chest pain regularly do any others who have Panic Attacks? My Psychologist said it is just a symptom or side effect. I also get this strange rush and burining sensation in my esophogus for a second and it goes away? Any information on those?

I’m working on a project for my Psychology class, and the only movie I can think of off the top of my head is "What about Bob?" I’d rather use a movie that isn’t a comedy. But whatever help you can give me is appreciated.

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 am on the verge of graduating high school right now, and soon I will be heading off to college. My goal is to see the world and find independance, but my Panic Disorder is interfering with it all. I have had Panic Disorder for the past 8 years, but only have been recently diagnosed. I absolutley refuse to go on medication, for various reasons, and right now I see a therapist to teach me to overcome it. Still, while I despratley want to follow my dreams, the sickness is a leash, and i’m afraid what will happen when I am on my own. Is there any way I can follow my dreams without being afraid constantly that I wont have anyone to catch me when I fall? How do I deal with it when no one is there to help? Advice is much appreciated.

I have had it happen on sulfur antibiotics and I am worried about the amoxil causing the same thing.

Just curious because I feel like complete shit all the time and I would like to be able to ask my doctor about something other than an addictive tranquilizer.
Also, no SSRI’s please. I should have mentioned that earlier.

A. panic disorder starts earlier
B. depression is more common in GAD
C. alcoholism is more common in GAD
D. the ratio of men to women is greater in panic disorder

i’m so desperate HELP!! please?

Years ago when I took diet pills, my panic attacks started. I think it has to do with adrenaline, And chemical change.

My medication doesnt seem to be working and Im really worried. The thing is im supposed to be going on holiday next saturday and the only thing that stops my panic attacks is to go home and i cant do that on holiday. What should I do?

What do people think generally when they see someone with these problems? like that their paranoid, nervous, shy etc What do you think when you know someone that has one of these disorders?

knowning what kind of things can trigger it because i’ve had panic attacks before and it’s always because of the same issue, she knew that her talking about a certain thing could bring it on so why did she talk about it?

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?
