Strugging with Anxiety and Panic
by An Anxious Individual
I began struggling with this about 2 years ago. I ended up on a low dosage of paxil to help me cope while my husband was deployed overseas in Iraq. When he returned, I worked with my doctor to halve the dosage and after 6 weeks at half dosage worked myself off of the medication completely. I was doing great, but now about 2 months after completely removing myself from the Paxil, I'm finding the anxiety returning and the panic attacks returning as well. I feel like a failure. I'm so frustrated that it has returned and I'm concerned that I'm not going to be able to beat this. Do you have any advice? Did you have failures along the way? How long does it take for positive thinking to really start working?
