Hi Everyone!
I'm new to this site, so just a quick hello from me?!
I joined because I have been a sufferer of anxiety and/or panic attacks since an early age of 5. I haven't been able to pin point an exact reason for this but have come to accept that this is the way of life for me now.
My panic disorder got considerably worse in my late teens and have now been taking peroxatine/seroxat/paxil for 10 years. I have tried to come off the drug because of the side effects, however the withdrawal was too much for my body to handle and have had approx 2 break downs each time I've tried to stop taking them, even though I was doing this with help from GP, having CBT and weening process taking just over a year!!!
I wonder if you are born with this?, maybe there is some neurological reason?
Any thoughts?
