Panic Attacks – Advice needed – THANKS?

Can anyone relate and offer kind words of advice for me right now? I have panic disorder, been diagnosed with depression (now dysthmia) and have terrible anxiety. A week before my period I start having intense anxiety that causes me to focus on my health and body and I feel that there is something terribly wrong with me (over the littlest body issues). My mind goes crazy and it turns into full blown panic attacks. Now I’m menstruating and having to fight off panic attacks for the past 3 days. My leg muscles ache and my muscles are so tense. It’s hard to shake this feeling. I’m tired (probably due to my new job and using all my energy dealing with anxiety). It’s a never ending cycle for about 2 weeks out of the month. I’m on meds (Xanax, Lexapro and Buspar) which seem to work well, but I have started to have break-through panic the last few months. I really need someone to talk to. Are there any good panic/anxiety chat rooms out there?

Thanks so much for your help. P.S. I’m 28 yrs. old

Can anxiety attacks cause fever?

I have anxiety and panic attack disorder. I don’t take any meds for it after 2 horrific experiences with prescription anxiety meds. Anway, I had to go to the hospital today for a minor injury and felt fine aside the simmering panic inside me. However, when my temp was taken, I was at 99.9. I’ve been home for a few hours and my temperature is much lower than the norm now, although I still feel like I have the low grade fever.

Do you think this all anxiety caused? I checked the net and couldn’t find anything about fever and anxiety attacks. Thanks for the input.
I’ve been on Effexor (worst ever with withdrawal), lexapro (nasty side effects) and paxil (2nd worse) that have all scared me from meds. Period. Both effexor and paxil plateaed at high doses and doc took me off them slowly, which resulted in being bedridden and unemployed. I’m not going there again!

Help with panic/anxiety medications…?

I have been suffering from panic disorder for 5 years. I have gone through therapy where the doctor just ended drugging me up with so many different types of anti-depressants..which didn’t work, they only made me have more anxiety. the one doctor gave me xanax. Only 1 mg a day..to be split in half, half in the am when I wake up, and half in the afternoon around 4…since then I can count the amount of anxiety/panic attacks I have had on one hand. Yes I know…THEY ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE..BUT THEY WORK. Also I have found no matter what medication you take they are all addictive. Has anyone found a medication that actually helps with the anxiety? No Effexor, Lexapro, Paxil…etc. I have tried these. Just needingt some help and feedback. Thanks
