Hello everyone, I need some help, advice anythig. I recently have had my first panic attack in august. I was rushed to the hospital of course because I thought I was dying. Well they gave me Zoloft, and xanax.I have been to the hospital 4 different times because I think I am going to die, if I get a headache I think I have a brain tumor. I really need help, I have had a cat scan and an ecocardiogram and nothing is wrong with me. I am so scared to take ANY meds, because I really beleive that I will die. I am not sure why or what is making me have these fears but I need advice. I really need to get better for my husband and my children, but mainly for myself.

If any one has been thru this or can offer suggestions to help me take the meds. The Doc says I could be better in 3-7 days, but i am scared to take anything.

I had the same problem and I actually went to my Dr.s office and took it there and then also took a xanax and then sat in the waiting room until I felt I wasn't going to die. That way I would be safe if I did have a reaction to it. You will not die. You probably won't even notice you took it or feel anything. You will be ok- look how much you have worried already and nothing bad has happened yet. Nothing will -you just feel that way and sometimes we need to take these meds to help us get on track again.
