Hello mynerves

As a last ditch result you can ask your doctor about Propranolol. It is a drug used by musicians for stage fright. It is also used by surgeons to prevent shaky hands. It is a non specific beta blocker and has been around for a long time. You may need it just to tide you over till sunny's suggestions take effect. If you do find you need it don't let yourself become dependent on it. Google it for more information.

When I first experienced severe panic attacks, I never knew whether I should see the doctor or just stay home and tough it out. I didn't want to appear hypochondriac, but on the other hand was not experienced enough to know when it was serious or not. For the doctor to inform you that if you are really worried and feeling sick, it is best to come in than to sit at home and worry and feel worse is a great help. So discussion with your doctor about what to do in those instances would be great.

Members, are you thinking about talking to your doctor about your panic disorder? Not sure where to start, or what kind of questions to ask. Here are some ideas that could be useful.

1.    What tests or evaluations should I expect that will confirm the diagnosis of a panic disorder?
2.    What is your experience treating others with panic disorder?
3.    Do you suspect that I may have any other emotional disorders besides panic disorder?
4.    How can I be proactive and reduce the overall impact that panic disorder can have on my life?
5.    What are my treatment and medications options?
6.    How effective are these options? What are some of the potential side effects?
7.    What are some ways to prevent or deal with panic attacks that are associated with panic disorder?
8.    Should I be thinking about therapy? If so, can you recommend a qualified therapist?
9.    Is there a genetic base for panic disorder? Could this be affecting other members in my family, or my children?

10. Do you have any useful pamphlets or information I can give to my family to help them better understand what panic disorder is?
