I began experiencing panic attacks about 2 years ago..and experienced the same symptoms you have now..I went to therapy and began taking celexa and it worked great for me and I began to feel real improvement after about a month on celexa..and felt fully back to my old self about an additional month or so later...

this summer as i was weaning off the celexa i lost my job and had alot of stress involved with finding a new one, then adjusting to the new job after finding one..that coupled with a hectic schedule..(full time job/part time grad student)..and being off the meds led to me having anxiety attacks again..along with all the old symptoms..in retrospect it was just bad timing with coming off the meds..if it hadnt converged with the major life event of changing jobs im pretty sure i would have been ok off the meds..

i began taking lexapro and got back in therapy about a month ago..and am progressing well..recovery is still very much a work in progress but i do realize that i have made progress and am thankful to have my past experience as a reference point...it makes the symptoms a little less scary! as does talking to others here on this message board..its reassuring to hear other people who have the same symptoms..and inspiring to hear people that have alot worse and are doing everything they can to feel better..

Since I don't have any reason to be depressed, he doesn't think I am a threat to do any of the things that are in my thoughts because I truly want to live and get better. He said millions of people are treated for things like this and 90% of them see positive effects from treatment. I just have to keep telling myself I will get through this!
