Hello to Everyone! I have just joined this group in hopes of reading what other people are doing about their panic attacks.

I have been having them for 2 years now.

KGOULD~

I take Lexapro, and trazadone at night. I started taking Xanax 12 years ago b ut I don't recommend you start that. My body is extremly addicted to xanax and what's happening is it helps for like 3 hours then I have this crash which I feel like anxiety is coming on but it's actal with drawls. I read about this and my new doctor told me this as well. It best to find something that is more LONG lasting.

Talk to your doctor 4 sure!

best wishes!

Hello and welcome to all of you!!!

I'm currently not on any medications. I use my breathing techniques and try to keep busy to keep my mind off of it. I have been thinking of going in and getting something soon. My anxiety/panic has been bad lately.

I hope that you are all doing okay! If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Take care!

Your Friend, Chris

I have been on .25 Xanax for over two years now. At first the label said take as needed up to 3 times a day and now the label says take one at bedtime.

I have surgery coming up next week and the panic attacks have come back big time!!

I take Xanax 3 times a day at the same time every day, 0.5mg. I've been taking them for 12 years. With my high anxiety, panic and life situation, I've been taking 4 to 5 a day now, which is not what I'm suppose to do but I am trying to relieve my anxiety, having a rough time!
