I wanted to share this and see what other people think.
I'm trying to discover why I'm suddenly getting better. I was getting severe panic attacks but the last couple of months, each month, I've been heaps better!
I was on avanza (remeron, mirtazapine) the last year and my dose was decreased from 60 to 45mg just before the panic attacks decreased in quantity and severity. So that could be one reason. Maybe I just needed to find MY dosage?
I also have polycystic ovary syndrome and took a special birth control pill to even out my hormones. The gyno said it would take 3 months to kick in amd 3 months later my panic attacks begin to lessen.
And the last theory was that I had accumulated too much serotonin in my brain from taking zoloft for 5 years causing the panic attacks and 10 months on my brain has restored it's normal serotonin levels hence no attacks.
I wonder what it could be? I'm frightened of getting off my birth control pill in case they start up again and am also similarly worried about getting off the avanza, which I'm going to have to soon, as my concentration has become so bad that I cry when people talk to me because it's too painful to pay attention!
