Update on Panic attack situation
2 years ago
Well i have some news to those who have been following me through this lately and I want to first say Thank you for the support it really has helped knowing people out there are worried a bit and wanting to help in anyway they can.
Now first thing is i am more or less back to normal me, though my sleep is still messed up. Aside form the sleep i have talked to a Psychiatrist and a few things will be happening, I will seeing one on a regular basis when things are setup with them properly.
The second thing is they gave me two options for me, one being i stay on my current medication of Paroxetine but double the dose to what would be 80mg a day with another med for a booster, the other option was to get on a different medication i think its a generic brand Prozac but not 100% sure. This method is the one I went with. Sometime when they tell me i will take my current med at current strength for 2 weeks, then after than it will be reduced to 30mg for another 2 weeks, then to 20mg but add the new med at a low dose, after than it will reduce again as the new one is increased till i am off my current med and on the new one.
I know that there might be some difficulties but i think its the best option since i have been on the Paroxetine for at least 10 years, and most likely its just not as effecting for me anymore. I will probably still have the Xanax they prescribed as well for when\if i do have a panic attack though but its only 0.5mg and i can take half of that if i feel i don't need the full.
Aside from that hopefully soon i will be able to get the endoscopy scheduled and taken care of, though i will of course be sedated cause of my gag reflex. I hope also soon i can find a dentist to cause i need a lot of work and with my gag reflex its very tough.
Lastly they will address my sleep issues with maybe a sleep test or maybe the new med they say might help but will have to wait and see. Well that's everything i can think of and again thank you all who have been wondering and concerned about me
