Listen to my story...

Hello there,

I'm Nova and I am 28, having panic disorder since 21 - So 7 years.

I take Paxil 0.10 and I had panic attacks here and there, an I could carry on my normal life except for the fact I can't do exercise because my big focus is my heart.

All of my Panic and Anxiety is fear of dying from my heart. Would love to know people who feel the same.

On the other hand, a month ago I had a panic attack so bad I had to go to the Hospital Emergency Room. Since then I am constantly nervous and having constant panic attacks. After going to the ER I was prescribed Xanax 0.25 once per day to help reach my psychiatry appointment which is Tomorrow.

I am living with a constant fear of dying from a cardio vascular problems and even having Psychiatrist tomorrow I'm afraid I cant reach it. I know its dumb.

On the other hand, I feel I have been getting worse these few days, maybe the Xanax is losing its power after a months use.

Now, I am probably going to step up to 0.20 Paxil and that really stresses me out for 2 reasons.

- 1. I always get hugely nauseous and feeling death is at the corner on the first two weeks, as well as a feeling like Menthol of Vics is running through my veins making my whole body feel "fresh" combined with nausea.
- 2. I am afraid that once I up the dose I will never be able to leave it and that I will be upping the dose in some time later, then more, then more, then more....

And this is my story, I'm in a dark hole now, petrified and afraid of death like when this thing all started.

And this is my story.

Nova
