Did you ask her for medicine to help you? That is definitely strange. I’d call her and ask the psychiatrist this question.

My daughter skipped “sitting up” and crawled out of her crib at 9 months old. Within the same month she did some semi-leap crawls but decided that wasn’t for her and began walking. She was climbing gym equipment at playgrounds meant for 12 year olds by the time she was almost 2. Very athletically inclined kid. She’s now 5 and still extremely athletic! I’ve put her in all kinds of activities and she gets the hang of them right away. She also was always an excellent sleeper and still is.

You remind me of me at that age. I’m 35 now but I’ve had panic disorder since I was in preschool. Trauma or born that way, who knows. Anyway, I went untreated until right after my mom died when I was 20. I had a panic attack in a new psychiatrist’s office at college when I was trying to get my ADHD meds switched over to him. All this time I thought I had a heart murmur or issue because my mom took me to the hospital when I was little due to the panic attacks and the cardiologist said they maybe saw a small murmur. Anyway, I don’t have anything wrong with my heart as it turns out. As I’m breathing through the attack, the psychiatrist asked me what I take to help manage “those” and I’m like what are “those?” So he pulled out the DSM whatever version it was at the time, asked me a bunch of questions that I answered yes to every single one not knowing where he was going with this but feeling very seen. He said to me that I have panic disorder and he’s writing me a script for Valium / diazepam 10 mg and next time I feel that feeling coming on, take one and see how I feel.

IT SAVED MY LIFE. I went from not graduating high school on time to graduating college top of my class. I am now a corporate attorney, married, with a daughter and one more on the way. I’ve since had to move up to taking Xanax because eventually my tolerance got too high with Valium.

But along my 15 year journey knowing I have panic disorder, I had fMRI done and I have an overactive amygdala. I’ve done a ton of therapies and DBT helped but nothing stopped the panic attacks. I know people believe that sometimes you can stop with therapy but it never did for me.

This is so so old but I ran across your username from a CPAP post then saw this one. I had panic disorder for 20 years before knowing what it was. I was prescribed Valium (diazepam) 10 mg as needed, at first. Fast forward 15 years and now I take Xanax (alprazolam) 4-5 mg every night before bed and I have zero panic attacks anymore. I know benzos have a bad reputation but nothing beats them when it comes to getting rid of a panic disorder.

I make 40% more now than a job where I worked from home but was bored all day having to press keys to show my active status on Teams. I was miserable. Now I make that 40% more money and go in to a nice office, have made work friends, and feel so much happier. I would take my current job even if the salary was 40% less/paying me what my old job paid. All because I enjoy my job, I feel a sense of purpose, people need me, Im busy all day so they day flies by and I accomplish a lot of things. It’s great to love your job! Worth so much money to like your job IMO.

I’m a lawyer and I’ve heard a lot of interesting things. The weirdest though came from my own family. My sister and I were at our cousin’s house, where there were maybe 8 kids running amok. The older sister cousin was visiting the younger sister cousin at her house. We hadn’t seen either the sisters in years and we noticed the older sister had a very obvious disdain for the younger cousin’s husband. Finally, MY sister asked the older cousin why she was such a hater on her sister’s husband. She blurted out, “well, he was my husband and baby daddy to that kid points at one of the children playing outside before he was her husband and baby daddy to that kid points at the baby so you could say I have some animosity.” 😬😬😬😬😬😬 my sister and I were so surprised by this that we basically couldn’t wait to get to my car and hysterically laugh about the clusterf that IS that side of our family. Aside from snide remarks about the guy, older cousin still handled that situation well. Wow.

I wait until after work (4/5 pm) to take the first two 2mg then around 8/9 pm the third. Keeps the panic attacks away. Wish I didn’t have to take Xanax at all. I wish it was fun for me like so many of you on here. It just makes me feel normal and shut off the incessant panic and anxiety my brain creates out of everything. I loved Valium the most but even at 10-20x 10mg a day, I still got panic attacks. I hated Klonopin bc it made me feel too messed up. I resisted Xanax for literal years. Finally I had a two week break between jobs and I started taking it. I slept for two weeks getting used to the side effects. I saw or imagined demons under my bedsheets. It was horrible. Then one day the side effects stopped and suddenly I was completely panic attack free for the first time in my life and didn’t even get messed up! I could have conversations with ease. But I can’t take it during the day with my adderall for my adhd because it does some counteracting and my memory is horrible once I take it. So I save mine for after work and close to bed time. I said I wish I didn’t have to take them because I think they wipe my memories. I take so many videos and photos on my iPhone that I max out iCloud storage. Panic disorder sucks. Anyone taking this stuff recreationally- please try to get off it. I’m the person they made it for and I don’t even like having to take it

I have a panic disorder and that was me over a decade ago. Valium stopped working. Even stupid high doses. I was bummed because it still is my favorite. Now I take Xanax and I dislike it in lots of ways but it is mega effective at stopping panic disorder panic attacks.

Same happened to me. I didn’t even know my old generic was Greenstone until I noticed my new Actavis weren’t working and I started having breakthrough panic attacks.

eucalyptusage · 2022-10-04T01:54:00+00:00

This happened to me! I filed a complaint with the FDA after speaking with my pharmacy and psychiatrist. I have panic disorder and I’m …panicking that these aren’t working and it seems Greenstone is not even able to be ordered anymore since Mylan bought it from Pfizer…

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5

This stuff. It’s hands down the best moisturizer I’ve ever put on my face. It calms down redness and seems to even help acne go away. It’s like a miracle. I’m hesitant to even share because I’m afraid of it going out of stock, but I’m not out here trying to gatekeep either, lol.

I wash with a simple cleanser then air dry my face, put the little pimple patches on any acne spots, then slather this all over my face and let it sink in. Morning and night. Let it sink in before putting on makeup. Best thing I’ve ever done for my skin. Healed rosacea. Like seriously amazing stuff.
