> My personal experiences are:
> 1. Yes
> 2. Yes
> 3. I go to the grocery store only when absolutely necessary. I haven't heard a mass in over 7 years althought I really want to. I go to work each day (a short distance with no traffic), making sure I am home before dark.
> I visited a customer about 5 years ago and had a strong reaction which I was only able to partially diaguise. I'm sure the customer noted my behavior.
> 4. My medicine is not effective. I only use it to help me sleep.
> 5. I suffer from derpession.I suffer from anxiety and panic to me they are one in the same. Once my anxiety was at a certain level for a period of time I broke into panic. I can remember the day too I ran out of the grocery store. my feelings overwhelmed me then I became afraid of those feelings somehow I knew what it was and that if I didn't fight it would take my life over. I went and got a friend and went back into the grocery store. She had to repeat you are alright to me over and over again. I fought to drive, go into places even had panic at home there was no safe place for me. today when it comes I try to just let go through me and not react. It can be hard.
The same medicine treated both klonopin and prozac.
Depression yes it's a given for me.
and I also found out I'm bipolar.
I have a very strong addictive side and it runs in both sides of the family.
Genetic overload.
