Hi!! I am new here. I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember. I have been fighting taking meds. for a long time. I started Paxcil today and I feel horrible. I have spent most of the day in bed. I have very little support. I do have my hubby, but he works 10 to 11 hours a day. My best friend just lost her father yesterday. So she is dealing with her grief. I have had her girls for the last three weeks. They went home today. I feel so lost and scared. After I took my medicine this morning all I coud do is cry. I feel like such a failure. I have gone so long without taking any kind of meds. The attacks are getting worse as I get older. What is up with that? My doc. told me that is normal. My two girls have to see me go through all of this and it just breaks my heart.. They are so wonderful. They are there to give me a hug and kiss when I feel bad. But they shouldn't have too. They are only 9 and 3(4on Sept. 3). I can't drive very far from home because I think I am going to die and kill everyone in the car. I hate that. When I was younger I could hop in the car all by myself and take off anywhere. No matter how far. Sometimes now I can barely go two blocks. I just wish this would all go away.
