[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658404, member: 1550"] CG, I feel for you. I had to take medications for my list of disorders (mood disorder not otherwise specified, generalized anxiety disorder, mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and panic disorder, which is no fun). It took me ten years to find medications that actually worked about 95%. I still take them. It can and often is a very long process. Did your psychiatrist tell you that there is a new test that came out that can help him figure out which antidepressant will help you? I believe it is just a blood test or it's a DNA test and it has to do with finding out how you metabolize. If your doctor has not brought this up to you, either bring it up to him or find a more knowledgeable doctor. Your doctor should be aware of this. CG, I have anxiety a little bit most of the time, even if it's not really bothering me. With practice, I have found that many YouTube guided meditation videos really help me and I can shoot down a panic attack just by using my breathing to slow my heart. You can't panic...it's physically impossible...if your body isn't racing. And you can stop it just by slowing your breathing. I also have benzos for emergencies a nd they work great. For me, they work better than anything else. Have patience and know we all care about you. [/QUOTE]
