need advice and support

I'm 25... female. I have a great 2 year old daughter. I've always dealt with anxiety. But 2 months ago I had what felt like a panic attack. Went to bed and woke up had it again an sense then I have not felt "right' ... I feel off balance. Sick .... nauses at times. Fatigued. Shaky. I get these spells where I feel like I'm going to pass out. Sweaty hands an feet.

I went to er and they did blood test and ekgs and stuff an came back an said I was fine. Anxiety. I feel the worst in the morning. I wake up every couple hours because I'm afraid because I'm so sick. I found a therepist. Sense they say this is anxiety how long tell I'm better?  I can't function like this. I cry all day because I can hardly do anything. Even take care of my baby girl :( I need to be better please help me....

I am very similar to you. Three months ago I suffered a severe anxiety and haven't shaken the anxiety yet. Night is awful with all the wake ups. Morning is terrible. I have two kids that I feel like I am not there for. I have started on medication and therapy and have my fingers crossed. Just try and remember that you are not alone. That's why we are on this forum. I hope you get some relief soon!

I started having the same symptoms as you about 3 weeks ago. Two trips to the er, multiple tests done, X-rays, ultrasound....everything came back normal. I was always just feeling sick. It got really bad two weeks ago to the point I was sitting on the floor and all I could do is rock back and forth. I have an 8 month old daughter and I was feeling like I was losing my mind...it was awful. I went to my family doctor and she told me its anxiety...started on Celexa and klonopin and I am happy to say I already feel great. I will get waves of anxiety in the middle of the night but they go away fast and I am back to sleep. The anxiety can really consume you which is what is so terrible.
Did they give you any meds? The klonopin helped a lot while the celexa kicked in. I don't need the klonopin now. I have had no side effects either from the Celexa.

I suffered panic attacks for years.  NO NEED.  Paxil (anti-anxiety drug) has given me a huge sense of relief as well as psychotherapy.  I am finally enjoying my professional and personal life.

They gave me zoloft which I am terrified to take because of course I read all the reviews. And they sound terrible tje first 2 weeks. I am starting therepy today I'm sure there going to want me to take meds because idk how long ill b able to sit there without freaking out and having to leave :( .... so ur physical started goin away with celexa? I'm so scared of side effects

[Irishred77]

Yes it all went away....the klonopin really helped until the celexa kicked it. I do not feel like I am sick all he time. It is like a huge weight has been lifted....I hope you are feeling better soon

I started therepy today. It went ok. She wants to c if I can get better with out meds but she scheduled me a appointment with the psychiatrist in march. Hell decide then unless I show no improvement here in a few weeks then ill c him soon. This is all so scary :'(

don't get scared.....believe me...I assure you all will be well. Just start medication along with therapy.... these medicines are not that big a deal in terms of side effects. Atleast they will start working right away & relieve you. Therapy takes time & at times, on its own is not enough & why should you have to suffer when you have a child to take care of as well??

Should I talk to her about this my next appt?  She also said that if I do half to take medication then shed recommend for me buspar. Any experience with this?  I need to be better not only for me but for my baby girl. She turns 2 today.
