My name is Melissa. I am 24 years old and from Chicago. I am new to the panic center. I have recently been experiencing more and more uncontrollable panic and am looking for different ways to cope with it and hopefully prevent it from taking over my life more than it already has. I am tired of it making me want to stay in the house and preventing me from going places and doing things I used to do before it all started. I hope this site helps me learn and cope. It's nice to see that I'm not alone on this.
I take Lexapro 10mg every morning. I haven't been on it for even a month yet, but i do see some effects of it working for me. I feel like my symptoms are subsiding somewhat and im not as edgy as i was before. I also take xanax (1/2 of the .25mg) tab, usually before work or before I know im gonna be in a situation that may make me panic. It seems to take the edge off and help me.
It is nice to sit back and think of our positive qualities! Always focusing on the negative makes me feel negative. Thanks for starting this one!
