My doctor put me on 20 mg of Prozac recently after my therapist wanted me to get an as needed medication for my panic attacks. My doctor said that it might be better to put me on a low dose SSRI until I can get the anxiety in check. Well, it's been a week and I feel weird. I feel like I...

I don't think social class matters at all. I grew up upper middle class, my mother worked in medicine and my father is an international engineer. My mother was bipolar, it did not end well. She had the money for all the expensive doctors and name brand medication which I think made it worse...

That's what my doctor put me on, propranolol in addition to prozac. I am a little uneasy about the prozac but I'm on a really low dose and she said once I get the anxiety under control we can talk about weaning me off. My anxiety may be situational at the moment. I'm going to try taking the...

My therapist wants me to try taking an as needed anxiety medication to be able to manage my panic attacks better. I have tried almost every OTC/Herbal/Holistic option there is and nothing has helped me when I'm in panic mode. I've tried buspar in the past with very negative results. Also...

I'm not sure you read my situation completely, LadyGhostHunter. My ex is dragging me into court, I'm not using the court system. I've already found it to be useless years ago. They will not protect me. My ex has been allowed to take plea deals in the past to stay out of jail. His physical...

I can relate. I used to be pretty social, but then after being in an abusive marriage for so long, I have trouble interacting with people now. I used to be totally trusting, and now I'm afraid of new people. Once I get to know people, I'm still a little skiddish. I've always been a very...

Thanks. It has been really tough because not only does dealing with all this give me PTSD flashbacks to his abuse when we were together, but it also causes a lot of anxiety related nausea and panic attacks. I've been managing the nausea with dramamine, and am working with my therapist to deal...

I'm waiting to hear back from my attorney. She is trying to get everything dismissed. I found out that my ex's push for trial was 1 day after he received my certified notice that my husband and I bought a new house and moved 7 mins away from our condo. Nothing changed for my daughter except...

I wish I was just making this up, but it just got worse. My ex wasn't getting his way with the outcome of court, so now I'm going to trial in February where he apparently has 5 witnesses that are going to speak against me. I would like to know for what or who those witnesses are, because I...

I know what that's like too! My ex dragged out my divorce too, and had this wild idea he could "win" the divorce and be able to move back in with me. The day we were supposed to finish with court and the judge was having us sign our statements, he refused to sign. Put the pen on the table...

The most recent update, was my lawyer called me the other day and elaborated on exactly what he wanted from the petition he filed. She had emailed me a scribbled on piece of paper that his lawyer (a really pushy woman) wrote out to have me look at. So, not only does he want my family's contact...

I think it depends what state it is in. My ex managed to keep the jurisdiction in NY, which she can't refuse to see him. They will only take into consideration what she says. She lives with me in a different state than NY, and is able to say who she wants to live with, but as far as...

Also with the order of protection, the family court has been allowed to make modifications (carve outs), because they were the ones that issued it to me, I can't have him arrested unless he violates it. Which he doesn't, but he tries to do everything he can to get around it. Like trying to...

I do have an attorney. My husband is also an attorney, but not in family law, so we've consulted other people on this. My ex was able to play the pity card, and it seems to be working in his favor. My daughter is 16. She's going to college next year, but I have to deal with him until she's...

I have a very expensive attorney and had an advocate through Integrated Domestic Violence Court during my divorce, but not for any of the petitions he files. The family court system does not take any of his continued stalking into consideration. It's amazing what he gets away with too. Some...

To make a long story short, my ex husband, whom I was only married to for 3 years, and together with off and on for 10 because we share a now grown daughter. He was severely abusive. The last day I ever spoke to him, he fractured my face in several spots, which I still have a scar above my...

I have the same thing happen to me. I take Dramamine when I'm really nauseous. It's an OTC motion sickness drug that kicks in pretty quickly but does make me drowsy. I have found that if I get the kid's chewables, I don't really get drowsy, and it actually calms my anxiety. I've only done...

I still have nightmares about my ex. They are always pretty vivid and terrible. I do not miss him. I rarely think about him aside from the fact that I have those reoccurring nightmares, and we have a teenage daughter together. Luckily for me, he has been prevented any contact with me for the...

I have been crying at different points of the day for the past two days. This election was based on fear. The only solace I've had has been how the 18-25 group voted, and how the popular vote turned out. Plus my state was blue, my city was blue. At least I'm surrounded by like minded people...

I have hypoglycemia, and I also have panic attacks. They always pop up at the most random times too. I've had at least 3 panic attacks which must have caused my blood sugar to drop even lower than normal and I have passed out. But most of the time the panic attacks have made me throw up...

I drink a lot of coffee, for the past 15 years, but recently I've been having a lot of anxiety issues. To the point where I'm having nausea and rapid heart rate for no reason. I had the beginnings of a panic attack at the dentist office waiting room about a month ago, and that was a first, so...

Any coffee drinkers? Have you ever quit drinking coffee and noticed a change in anxiety symptoms?

I wouldn't feel bad about it. They can always setup a plan that works for them if they are paying too much. I work for a health insurance company, and I don't really see too many plans like yours. Usually the company pays part of the premium for each employee, or just offers the insurance and...

In my state, it's considered a felony if you are above age 18 to run around in a mask harassing people. We recently had two teenagers running around in clown masks in my area chasing the littler kids at their school bus stops. It was so ridiculous. Parents were freaking out and keeping their...

I've been there too, so I know what you are going through. I was also really young (in my last year of high school) and my ex was 25. I was from a quiet suburban neighborhood, and was really naive, and he lived in a bad part of the city and had a pattern of trying to pick up younger girls...
