I am feeling better now...I guess i was just having a bad day. the effexor seems to help calm my constant anxiety, but it does absolutely nothing for my panic attacks. i'm also on zanax, and that kind of keeps me in a very relaxed state, which does help. but the panic attacks are just something i'm going to have to learn to live with i think. it's just like no matter how much i think i'm ready for them, the same thing happens every time. after i have one, i just feel so mentally and physically drained. They say that having a 10 min panic attack is like running a 10km marathon, and i think they're right. at the moment i'm not in therapy, my doctor is sending me to a phsyciatrst at my local hospital because it doesn't cost any money and i'm kind of broke. but he said it could take months before i get an appointment and that for now, i'll just have to wait it out. thank you for your being so optimistic for me...i need that right now.-chris
