I have had severe panic disorder since I was 13 years old. Of course back then I did not know what I had. I would just freak out alot. I didn't know till I was 18 yrs old. When my doctor at the time told me that my medical files were as thick as an old lady. I also have hypochondria and agoraphobia. Every time I would get sick, headache or stomachache, I was at the drs. I have been on these med's. Klonopin, Xanax, Paxil, and Zoloft. Right now, I am taking Paxil. I have been taking it for almost 10 yrs. and I still get anxious. I can't go to the stores and when I do I am anxious the whole time. When I am driving, I am freaking out. I am a nutcase. Haha!! Anyhow, just wanted to share my story. I have other messages posted. In cervical cancer, since I have that too. I am having a hysterectomy next month and my anxiety is really high. I also have one posted in diabetes, since I was diagnosed last month with this too. The night I found out, I had a really bad panic attack. I was so scared that I would slip into a diabetic coma or faint.
