Welcome to the forum.

New to group... I am 57 and started with a major panic attack back Sept 09 which keep me in the hospital for five days. I have been checked for everything and all seems well. But, here I am four months later and still having attacks pretty much daily. My GP won't work with me because he was insulted that I refused Prozac while taking a beta blocker called Bystolic. ( BP's very high when having panic attacks.) My cardiologist says go to a shrink.
I have tried several antidepressant meds along with the Ativan, usually 1 to 2 mg daily. I have not yet had one that agreed with me. Perhaps I am impatient.
I feel as though I am alone and the medical community is not understanding of us folks who
happen to have severe symptoms ruining our lives. I have not slept through the night since Sept. I wake up with sweats and severe anxious feelings in my chest. Yet my BP's are just
slightly elevated from my norm. I have gained control over how I react to my symptoms. BUT... the symptoms are just slightly improved after all these months. I am fearful of getting
hooked on meds and have learned not to trust these doctors now. I am losing it and just want some normality in my life again. Even a good day or two in a row without attacks
would be nice.
Any suggestions for a newbie panick victim would be appreciated.

You need to be under the care of a psychiatrist, and like ryan suggested, a psychiatric medication manager. You've been coming here for a long time, and yet continue to ask the same questions over and over. Did anyone say it was hopeless? No. We said WE cannot help you any longer.....you need more than we can offer, your case is complex, you have a complicated psych history, with many different issues.
As far as seeking inpatient care, I know we've suggested that in the past also. That may be something to sincerely discuss with your doc...so that you can get the care you need to address all of these issues. Being an inpatient is not a bad thing...it means you're getting the help you need.
Best of luck to you....wishing you peace.

Excellent post, ryan.
I couldn't agree more.
Hopefully you take ryan's post to heart...you need more than we can give you, and your situation is more complex than the average anxiety sufferer...you need the help of a specialist...you need aggressive care.

Yes, it is very peculiar. You have the exact same posting style, in addition, spell the same words wrong. You KNOW there is a very easy way to find out, don't you? It's something MH can find out in about 10 seconds.
I hope for your sake that the results don't show that you are one in the same, b/c this community does not deserve to be deceived like that...plus it is against the rules.
Anything you want to tell us NOW, before we find out on our own?
