i have been having panic attacks for almost three years now. at one point i was having them daily-serious ones-with many symptoms. i took paxil for a while and it helped, but i didnt like the way i felt-i wanted meds that would stop the panic attacks while NOT changing anything else. i want to be myself just without the panic attacks. i want to be able to leave my house again... the problem is im 18 and most doctors wont give me a script w/o me seeing a psych on a continual basis. my familys shrink doesnt feel comfortable prescribing me with a fast acting med that i can take just when i feel one coming on because, for the most part, those medications are addictive. im going to be 19 in a month and im dreading commemorating losing another year of my life to this. any advise is welcome! names of lenient psychs, international pharms, herbal alternatives, meds i might not know about... these are supposed to be the best years of my life, but ill never know because im missing them!
