Hi All.  Im new to the site but so glad i have found somewhere to talk to people with similar illness.  I have been having panic attacks now for 6 weeks related to a health worry.  Mines always relate to health worries.  I have been on zoloft for years but my doctor put me on Alprax 3 x 0.5mg per day but he doesn't want me to keep taking them because they're addictive.  They also suggested putting me on Zyprexa short term.  I don't know what to do about the Alprax because the anxiety is stopping me from functioning in everyday life.

Hi,i know how u felt,i do experienced that,i do concern abt my health too,u name it,heart problems,lungs etc..so i did all necessary test on that..it came out fine..but guess wat.i began to doubt the doctors and the result,its normal for anxiety ppl to think like that,wats best for u is to go for a overall body checkup,once test came out fine,it should ease ur mind a bit,and then tackle the anxiety problem probably talk with a therapist,cbt etc..

Well i don't know if one night on Zyprexa makes a difference but today the horrible churning in my stomach and the shakes were gone.  I am still anxious but at least i have been able to eat.  I lost so much weight because of the sick feeling constantly.  I am still taking the Alprax because until i get a clear result from my health worry i know i will still panic.  Does anyone have any good methods for settling a panic attack because when i get them i cant move and i am scared to go out in public in case it happens to me
