am condsidering taking smthg for anxiety, random panic attacks and irritability (all hormone related IMO)
doc recommends lex but have searched the archives here and read scary weight gain stories.
also googled wellbutrin and think it may not work for panic..but it may seem to be better b.c no weight gain? or is this not true?
should i skip the ssri route altogether? i dont know WHAT to do! i did take prozac and buspar- for a year, but that was 10-ish years ago ...dont even remember if it helped - just know getting off was hell. and have been med free since.
i posted my 'story'yesterday (see: hormone hell above) am new to board - having 'a time' right now - cant decide what to do - plan of action needed.
had two panic attacks this month - but none in months before now - but cannot deal w. those at all....and now am having the typical fear of having one making me insane.
so should i dive back into ssri world 10 years later??-ugh. dont want to. why is this happening?!
i have a xanax rx - i usually dont take - but am so drug sensitive - a half of a white (lowest dose) calms me down - even a 1/4 works half the time - making me think a placebo would work just as well - what could a 1/4 possibly do?! what abt 1/2 a xan everyday? or is that bad? kinda makes me tired.
SOMEONE HELP! i am thin and do NOT want to gain weight - that would make me ENTIRELY depressed. so scared now reading abt so many w. weight gain on lex. scared to go there. would literally die if i gained. but cannot cope w. ONE more anxiety attack - it cant happen. am lost.
TIA
