I Think I Fixed My Panic Attacks

   Your story is indicative that psychoanalysis and psychologists must be 100% covered by the health insurance fund. In our country, every second person has screamed, young and able-bodied people commit suicide, which loses the economy and society. I'm glad you're feeling good, but it should be clear to you that there is no free lunch - every medicine has its side effects. This is not the way to go in the long run, but it is good to get back on your feet now, and then you will be able to afford psychotherapy. It is a pity, a real pity that our society does not cover the costs of treatment of such wonderful young people like you, while it is ready to collect hundreds of thousands of levs for charlatan doctors abroad who promise the terminally ill stars and the moon, but please - only against 250,000 euros! With this money we can cure at least 25,000 young people like you REALLY, instead of burying the really incurable, but the truth is very sad - we have not yet grown up as a society to feel sympathy for the mentally ill. The Bulgarian has not yet grown up in education, general culture and way of life to such an extent that he realizes the importance of mental illness today. Nervously ill people in our country do not have the right to treatment and understanding. Good luck and a speedy recovery otherwise - society owes you, but we believe in you and in your will to recover in spite of everything.

   Who prescribed Seropram to you?

   I am 23 years old, on April 8 I made one year since the first panic attack, but I did not immediately develop phobias. I developed anxiety and insomnia in the summer and then I was afraid to be home alone and go home with nasty symptoms. I also started drinking and over time I reached 1 liter of hard alcohol. But the moment came when I just started to lie down and not get out of bed, the alcohol knocked me out, I gave it up and for 3 weeks I drank sedatives (rivotril) and seroxate. My coat catches me, but I go out and even go to lectures outside the city, but at times I am dizzy. I am still in the beginning and the antidepressant will only give results now, but I pray that I do not develop an addiction to rivotril. I also shared about the problem in front of colleagues, at least so that they know what is wrong with me and so that I feel more relaxed. I wish good luck to everyone and take your pills. Rejoice that there are pills,

   I was prescribed it by a neurologist, who said that she often encounters such things and that this is the way she thinks it will work, and it is true. I have been taking benzodiazepines such as Rivotril for no more than a week, but number 3, you will need to take it until your withdrawal is over. What I do know is not to drink them for more than 2 months and after a month, a month or so you have to reduce the dose. Keep in mind that Seroprama has worked for me, I don't know if it works for everyone, but as they say, there are some medications, although if we lived in calmer times we wouldn't have to. Stressful times are simple.

   Four years ago, when I entered high school, I started to worry a lot about communicating with others, I constantly forgot words, I was constantly under stress and tension, and I shivered when I talked to one of my classmates, or I was just at school. There were even times when my eyes watered from the light during the day, or when I communicated face to face with someone. The tears in my eyes stopped, it rarely happens, but the trembling of my voice and body and the anxiety when I communicate with someone and the heartbeat do not disappear ... I also stopped going out and avoiding large groups of people, or places where there are many people, because of these symptoms, because they make me feel bad in my skin. I often yawn too when I communicate and my hands are cold. In order to have such symptoms, something serious must have happened to me, such as abuse by a parent or children. but not. I've never been abused by anyone, it's just that as a child I was quite fat and made a lot of jokes ... and maybe that's why. For the first time I started to worry in 8th grade, and in high school the symptoms were much more serious. In general, I think it all comes from the fact that I'm not used to being liked, I was not one of the 'favorites' in any social group. So ... are these panic attacks? How to cure them?

   From number 3: I don't feel alcohol hunger anymore (even when I go to the store no matter how much I look at the bottles I am not tempted), the first 2-3 days were difficult, but I drank all the alcohol only out of fear and panic, I still have fear at times . However, I have been taking seroxate for exactly 20 days, and it is starting to work right now, I panic a little, but somehow I block them. As far as I know, abstinencies are at most 15 days and I hope alcohol is in history, now it remains to see the antidepressant and when you need rivotril. In the beginning, the doctor prescribed 3 to 1 mg for my alcohol, but over time and right now I drink at most up to 1, 1.25 mg for the whole day.

   Number 4 can you tell the name of this neurologist and what city he is from?

   I don't know the name, she works at Tokuda in Sofia, but I don't remember her name. An elderly woman even seemed to have red hair, but I'm not sure.
