Panic?

Definately go back to the doctor and get your pills switched. It sounds like you have panic attacks and maybe ocd. Talk to your doctor about this and see what they say.

I have mild ocd & know others with it & this doesn't sound like any sort of ocd i've ever heard of, but I could be wrong - none of us had heard of everything.

Did you feel as bad as this before you went on meds? If not it may be a bad reaction to the meds. If yes then obviously they're not working.

Have you tried alternative therapies? This sounds more like some form of stress/anxiety or even a problem bought on by medication. Don't laugh, at 14, my daughter went on the pill for 4 months because she was going to be travelling on a student exchange & has very heavy painful periods; the result has been a nightmare, it turns out that even a low dose like she had can cause major chemical changes in the brain & major weight loss, because of her age she was misdiagnosed with anorexia nervosa & ended up hospitalised where things went seriously downhill (the drs complained that she was eating too much so were going to restrict her food intake but still insisted she have food supplements that made her ill) so by the grace of god I found a dr (psychiatrist) who can think outside the box & treats people holistically, he did tests found the real problem & she's finally starting to heal, by taking walks, drinking mineral water & having a supplement of 5htp (a form of tryptophan which is something found in alot of foods eg turkey, yoghurt, nuts, cheeses, pumpkin seeds etc etc & which helps balance stress chemicals in the brain) - so all natural stuff but from a dr - & a psychiatrist no less!!

My daughter had lots of other effects other than weight loss, control freak, noises, headaches, sleep changes, character changes (& not for the better), weird eating habits & combinations(these remain), demanding constant attention but only in ways that she wanted & shoplifting (this from someone previously almost too honest, etc etc.

So, i'd try some natural remedies & maybe another dr, see if you can get one who'll do an eeg (brain test) among many other things this would show if your stress levels were over the top - in which case email me & i'll give you more details of what worked for my daughter because in the end this is what the dr basically found needed to be addressed.

No one said it was an ocd. She asked if it was panic.

'frick,

don't you read your own posts or is it that you write them under some other influence? Here is what you posted:

Note the last 2 words maybe ocd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

so don't tell me no-one said it was ocd because you're the one who suggested it, I said it did not sound like ocd, but acknowledged that I could be wrong i.E. That you could be right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
