Advice needed!?

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. Why is it that i can go weeks with out having an attack or sleeping and feeling completly exhusted at the end of the day?? Any help or knowledge that would help?

Answers:
I have the same problem and if you are getting the anxiety back you may need to up your doseage on your Zoloft just talk to your doctor about it. I use Klonopin for anxiety but I tke half a pill of the lowest dose there is and it just takes my panic away and nothing else no sleepy side effects or anything I have 3 kids so I need to stay alert for them but just only take it on a need only basis dont take it all the time for just a little anxiety feeling only when you are having a severe anxiety attack it is highly addictive and I have heard it is harder to quit than heroin but I havent had it for weeks and I have no side effects because I dont take it often enough and in a high enough dose. Good Luck!

i told someone else the same thing

i have the same the problem dude girl so try meditating and calming your mind down. Try to blank your mind out and focus on one thing, i know its hard but after some practice just think like a zombie. What i say to myself is "Who cares" and those little words help me calm myself down

I have them also. It helps to try to slow down your breathing. Yes everything I found about panic and anxiety attacks xanax and other meds are used to treat this kind of thing. They are also addictive and if the doctor does give them to you do you know you will be able to function while taking them? I would take one before using it to go to a big event just to make sure you will be able to function.
