Panic disorder w/ GAD medication

[Ranno]

I was diagnosed with panic disorder mild level and generalized anxiety. I can't take this anymore! I don't enjoy my life, even though I love my life right now. I feel unreal as if I am viewing my body from outer space. I feel like I am about to die..... I've been going through that for 11 years and I am only 24. However, it has increased in the past 4 months and it happening to me everyday after sunset til I sleep. The doctor prescribed me seroxat 25. He also suggested that I could use cipralix instead. I am not sure that I want my life to be controlled by a pill. I am confused.

I think that 11 years of suffering is enough.  Think about it, as we get older our stressors increase there therefore any anxiety we are prone to is going to increase as well.  I think it is time that you became proactive and take the doctor up on his advice and use the medications.  A lot of us have been where you are and now are living normal lives because of the medications we take.  I don't care if my life is controlled by a pill at the present moment.  I have been on and off medication so it is not necessarily a life sentence.  There are just times in our lives when the stress just becomes too much for us to handle and then it is medication time.

Would you rather continue to be miserable or allow a pill to help you feel normal?  Personally, I have chosen the pill, and don't regret it in the least: I got my life back. - Blu
