Hello,
i am from athens-greece and all started for me almost 3 years ago. On 2002 I faced marital problems that lasted for 8 months. During that time I was crying and feeling very bad. When things improoved and we all relaxed in the house I had my first panic attack as the doctors told me. My blood pressure went up and I was sweating for almost 10 minutes. I started going to all the doctors I knew. I took a triplex test in the cardiologist, blood tests, thiroid test (which I knew I had a problem), I went to check my ears, my eyes and finally I had a gastroscopisis (stomach exam). At the very end I took a axonic tomography in the head and eveything was ok.Sorry for the english, but I do not know all the terms. It was proposed to me to take ladose pills ( called prozac in the usa)(1/day) for 7 months. At the same time I went to a psychologist and this helped me a lot. I was feeling excellent. So I stopped them after 7 months. After 4 months and having a lot of pressure in the office and at home since I have a 10 years old child (i am 38) I started feeling again nausea, lightheadness and panic attacks. So I started again ladose plus xanax 0,5mg (1/day). Now its been a year and I can not tell you that I feel very well. After 7 hours working in a very demanding environment, I feel my neck pain and especially after eating I feel like stepping at one place and being on another one. This really doesnot happens. Its a sense I have. If I take a xanax I feel ok almost half an hour later. Last month I had a test that was missing from my collection. Colonoskopisis and of course everything was ok. My doctor says that I suffer from ibs, plus a phobia for my health. During weekends I feel fine. Sorry for the long message, can someone convince me that everything is in my head? Today I will take a magnetic tomography for my neck problems. I have decided to stop with the doctors. I forgot to tell you that I measure my blood pressure several times per day and usually its within acceptable levels. All my friends plus my colleagues say that I do not look at all stressed. I laugh a lot and I like jokes and spending time with my family. I make plans for the future. Will I always take medication to feel almost ok? My doctor now changed ladose to dumyrox (half pill every night). Sorry for jumping from one issue to the other but I am in the office.
Have a nice day
alexandra :lol:
