Q: Coping with Panic Neurotic Disorder without Insurance
asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 14th, 2006
I THINK I AM HAVING PANIC ATTACKS, WELL I KNOW I AM. I HAVE WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE OF THEM. I USE TO WORK AND GET OUT. I RECENTLY MOVED W/ MY FIANCE AND MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER. I AM NOT WORKING ANYMORE, I STAY AT HOME AND I AM NOT AS CLOSE TO MY FAMILY AS I WAS (LIKE 30MINS AWAY NOW) MY FIANCE WORKS 3RD SHIFT SO I DON'T SEE HIM, SO IT'S JUST ME AND MY DAUGHTER 24/7. THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BACK GROUND ON ME. BUT THIS IS MY QUESTION, I HAVE BEEN OFF AND ON FOR MAYBE 4- 6MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN FEELING OUT OF IT, LIKE I AM IN A DREAM. I AM SICK OF FEELING WEIRD. ALSO I AM NOT REALLY HAVING PANIC ATTACKS ANYMORE, LIKE I USE TO GET SHAKEY, HOT/COLD FLASHES, TINGLEY, RAPID HEART BEAT, ECT. I'M NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE. I JUST FEEL OUT OF IT (IN A DREAM) AND LAZY, ALSO EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE (SEEMS LIKE AROUND THE TIME OF MY PERIOD, BEFORE OR AFTER) WHEN I AM ASLEEP I'LL WAKE UP AND IT FEELS LIKE MY WHOLE BODY (ON THE INSIDE) IS SHAKING/ TREMBLING...NOW THAT SCARES ME. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? MY DOCTOR TOLD ME TO GET MY EYES CHECKED ABOUT THE OUT OF IT FEELING...EVERYTHING WAS FINE, WELL I NEED GLASSES BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL THE WAY I DO. I FEEL OUT OF MY BODY. AND WHEN I GO OUT I FEEL STRANGE LIKE EVERYONE'S LOOKING AT ME OR SOMETHING, THE OUT OF IT FEELING WORSENS, BUT I HAVE THE OUT OF IT FEELING MOST OF THE TIME!!! IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY, PLEASE HELP ME...I HAVE NO INSURANCE TO GO TO A DOCTOR AGAIN!!!!

Panic neurotic disorder is a diagnostic possibility, which is diagnosed and treated by psychiatrists; since you don’t have insurance to return to a doctor consistently, you might request a prescription for an anxiolitic drug like "Diazepam" or an antidepressant like "Paroxetine" which can be administered under the supervision of a psychiatrist.
