Any Advice Please??

[ahhrin]

So i guess my panic attacks weren't gone... i had a bad one today :(

I'm really freaked there's something not right with me!! I've had all the tests done(urinalysis, full bloodwork, optic tests, blood pressure, clear lungs etc..) and everything's fine but i just can't put my mind to rest!

my therapist says there's nothing wrong with me its just anxiety and the same with my doctor but if feel like im going insane or something, my hold mindset on everything has been turned upside down!! I feel like I've lost my normal life i cant go out with my friends without constantly worry something bad is going to happen. I'm not sure if its the meds im on thats making me feel this way but i dont think so since its such a low dose (effexor 37.5mg).

i just cant cope with this anymore, I feel like anyday im going to have a breakdown. Can someone please give me some insight as to wether or not this is normal?!

thanks,
Aaron

thanks for the replies, its nice to hear i'm not alone. I'm going to look into seeing a psychiatrist and see if they can make things any better! who knew anxiety could cause all of these mental and physical symptoms?! I really hope this goes away sooner rather than later.

you are not alone and you WILL be fine!  I am experiencing the same exact thing and you will find thousands of people -many on this board- feeling the same.  Part of panic/anxiety disorder is the feeling of losing your mind- but you're not and you won't.  You have to do what I must do and the rest of this on this board which is be strong, have hope, never give up and keep fighting to feel better.  There are many ups and downs with this disorder, but we must believe and understand there isn't anything actually wrong with us.  I have been through a million doctors this year, a million tests, and a number of trips to the ER-- again tonight I was on my way insisting to a friend I'm having a heart attack.  I've been having a difficult time leaving the apt as well and I'm not enjoying things or having a social life the way i used to...BUT i know I will again. And so will you.  You can cope with this and you will!  Make sure you have a good therapist and if the meds aren't working talk to the doctor about all your options. There are a million anti-anxiety/antidepressants out there adn sometimes it takes a while to find the right one...please make sure you see a psychiatrist for these meds though and not just a regular doctor.  YOu will be ok. We all will be.  You will find much support here!
hang on,
