Question:
Alrighty ... I suffer my Anxiety attacks and am on Zoloft and have been for about 4 months now and have to go back for a check up on wednesday. Things I thought were getting better excepct for the last couple of weeks i've gotten really anxious and I had a couple big attacks when out in public. This week coming up I have a big test ... an appointment with my college and then a concent at an arena ( last time i was there about 8 months ago I had a bad attack). I was wondering if on wednesday before these 4 things take place when I go to the doctor if I should see if she would give me ativan or xanax for times that i need to relax myself. I know its not a total fix but i just mean to help me get through big events like these. Any help or knowledge that would help?
Answers:
I used to have panic attacks and what helped me was growing up and getting older. The only one who can really help you is your doctor who knows your full medical history. Sometimes College can wait, get your health sorted out. first. And yes, I went to college & was removed because of my health.
There is no magic pill,but talk to your Doc, may your Rx needs to be ajusted or change. Good Luck.

I would definitely discuss these concerns with you doc. The goal of taking meds for anxiety is not to experience it anymore! You may need to work your way up in dosage of your SSRI. For the time being having a benzo lime Xanax or lorazepam on hand for when you feel anxious is a good idea. Talk to your doc about which one is right for you. This is the combination I use and it really helps to have something on hand for those anxiety-producing times. Good luck!
