justanoldgamer: I also have an anxiety disorder. I had dry heaves every morning and intestinal cramps all day until I quit my last job a couple of years ago. I am now under 3 medications, 2 in the morning and one or two at night but still experience anxiety attacks almost every day, the only good point is that they don't mess up my digestive system anymore.
I am borderline agoraphobic, I'm mostly ok on roads and in places I know well but otherwise I'm not so good. My doctor recommended that I try taking walks. I tried that yesterday, just a short walk around the block. I was ok on my street but experienced tunnel vision on the one parallel to it. I will continue taking them and expending the area if I get better.
I also panic every time the phone ring or when someone is at the door.
I'll have to ask my doctor if I can take a clonazepam during an attack, right now my prescription is one (0.5 mg) every morning and one at night if needed.
The best part is reading "I will continue" because I'm one of those people with hope. Success is measured by how many times we get back up after falling.
