Question for anyone out there...I won't go through the whole long 2 year saga, if you are interested I'm sure you can find lots of my old posts. Here's the new one and I'm at the end of my rope. Panic attacks for 20 years...looking back those were the easiest, best years of my life. No treatment..just rode them out. When they got more frequent about 2 years ago my GP tried me on numerous antidepressants all of which made things much worse. To make a long story a bit shorter, had a serotonin storm with paxil (on a low dose) and have had generalized anxiety since, plus the occasional panic attack. Xanax helps the anxiety a fair bit . but drpression has loomed its ugly head. We've tried remeron,gabitril,serzone and most recently Lamactil for a few day it seemed great then on day 6 (25mg) the raging panic hit....this time at work had to leave early 3 days last week. Emeergency call to the pdoc said it was undoutable the lamactil. Anyone had a reaction like this? Its been 2 days since my last dose and I'm still pretty freaked despite extra xanax. What's next, my pdoc thinks I may be mildly bipolar (no real highs only really low lows)...any suggestions, help .etc. I'm hanging on by my fingernails now. Hope someone has some clues. Worrier
