 I've had debilitating anxiety since last Saturday 6/27. I was at 2 panic attacks a day. Now I'm just having 1 a night. Last Wednesday 6/24 I started Luxov 25mg. Clonidine doesn't seem to help panic. My psychiatrist gave me trazodone but I haven't taken it yet. My psychiatrist now wants me to start Luvox twice a day at the 25mg but I'm so frightened to.

I'm just surprised. I'm exercising, going out, eating good. But the moment I'm home resting I can feel my heart fluttering. At night when trying to sleep I go into a panic. I seem to be anticipating it and going into a panic. I've called 911 988 multiple times and several hospital visits.

I can no longer work due to my symptoms of chest and abdominal pain, sweating hot and cold, numbness, fainting, vomiting, and diarrhea. 

I'm trying different things. Letting the panic over take me, breathing, a wet cold towel, taking a clonidine. I think I will try not taking the clonidine and see what happens.

I feel rude to say this but I'm concerned my psychiatrist isn't doing enough but I don't know what I'm expecting. I saw her 2 times this week and once last week and she doesn't seem concerned Im no longer functioning. I started going out, exercising again, cleaning, homework, hobbies but the anxiety persists. But I can't just not work. I live alone, have no support and mounting bills. On Monday I'm going to ask to see my therapist every week. 

Anyone who has experienced similar, did you just ride it out?

I went last week, earlier this week, and now I want to go today. I started SSRI last week. Started having rolling panic attacks since Saturday. I saw her earlier this week changed nothing. Now I'm looking into FMLA, medication change, or going to a mental health facility. I called 911 last night and almost went to mental health facility.

I'm at the point I can't work, eat, leave house, sleep. But she kinda knew that earlier this week.

I'm newly on Luxov and Clonidine

I've been having a panic attack for 2 days now. Can't work or get out of bed (becoming more and more common) I had an appointment with my psychiatrist today. She kept me on clonidine and didn't change anything. It just doesn't seem to be working. I can't breathe, stop shaking, chest and head hurts. I do see my therapist tomorrow.

But I just don't see what it would change I suppose. It would be nice to talk to someone and I think that's all I really want honestly
