Tina:
I take Paxil...it has caused weight gain (darn it all!) but has alleviated the depression mostly. I am feeling pretty unhappy with my marriage right now, but also very trapped in it so I have been feeling pretty down for the last while. Paxil is supposed to help with anxiety....I think it has helped me, but my anxiety has never been out and out panic like yours....
You should ask him questions about your inability to sleep...tell him of the frequency of your panic...tell him of the history you have with different meds....make him understand how very very difficult of a time you have had lately and make sure he understands you need HELP NOW....I am sure you have tons more knowledge now than you did before your babble days, so use that as well. If he does prescribe something, make him explain exactly what it is, what it does, how it works, etc...
I know from your postings you are having a really tough go of it lately, and still I see you posting to others who are having a hard time and encouraging them...that is very admirable of you. I wish I could win the lottery so I could leave my husband, I think I would be happy then. I already am basically alone, then I wouldn't have to deal with his crabbiness, his moodiness, his yelling at me...I am so so sick of it. I wish he would just leave me alone. Yesterday was Mother's Day and he was a jerk. Ya, I got flowers from him..woohoo....he didn't do anything else nice, except make me feel like crap...didn't talk to me mostly, except to say mean things...I am so tired of the BS....*sigh*....oh well...sorry got off track.
