I'm doing much better lately.. My doctor put me on lexapro.. which at first gave me some really funky side affects.. but I gave it a chance and after two weeks the side affects went away, and my panic followed. for the most part. It's not constant anxiety, and panic 24/7 the feelings come and go,a nd i've been starting to live a normal life again.. going out more.. driving my car.. etc.
I've also been taking .5mg of lorazopam 1-2 a day.. Which has been REALLY helpful.. especially when i start to notice those icky feelings creeping up again... lately i've been taking them less.. maybe 2-3 times a week.. BUT my doctor.. Only wanted me to use them short term.. for like a month.. so I Don't get addicted...
How to I explain this to my doctor without coming off as a drug seeker?
