I have it now. It's terrible. The panic attacks keep me from doing alot. I was just wondering if any of you got better after surgery. I'm hoping after my surgery mine goes away. I'm currently on meds but still have attacks from time to time.

Are you in therapy for this?  If not, you may want to consider it.  Therapy taught me coping skills for my anxiety, and allows me to work through a lot of issues that trigger my panic and anxiety.

Hugs,

I'm not currently. I can't afford it. But I plan on it soon. Most of the time it's going out in crowded public places that trigger mine.

My panic attacks got worse after surgery.  I don't know if it's the change in hormones or maybe my meds (Effexor) were at the wrong dosage for my 100 lb lighter body (I have since switched to Zoloft and am noticing positive results).  Good luck on your journey....Lori
