[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you everyone who wrote in and offered advice. I think maybe clonadine is worth asking my GP about. I did see a psych for a while, but she didn't take my insurance and basically prescribed the same stuff the GP prescribes. I didn't find it helpful for the cost.

I am nervous about benzos because of the dependency risk. But these anxiety attacks are so extreme that it might be worth trying temporarily. I have been warned to not even attempt wellbutrin, as uppers are the last thing I need. I had bad reactions to some of the more calming ssris, which ramped up my panic. Wellbutrin would probably put me in the ER for days!

Would like any further thoughts on clonadine or Someone mentioned gabapentin. Anyone have experience with those?

I am still sure this is somehow hormonal. But just odd that it came on during/after my third child. Had nothing like this prior with the other two. The BP spikes and pounding heart are thr worst.[b] I have tried meditation, hypnotherapy, talk therapy, and even tapping. No luck.[/b] [/quote]

Okay, but have you tried CBT?

Research has shown it to be more effective than medicating.

Other types of therapy, meditation, etc are not effective for anxiety, CBT is. [/quote]
