I had anxiety, panic attacks and depression because I was actually brutally tortured by my mother at 4, then for the next 12 years, she beat me, cut me, told me I was nothing, yeah, you come out of that with all the above! If it's bad enough that your life becomes not worth it, see your doc. After trial and error, I'm now on Venlafaxine and Trazodone, at 1st I was on Zoloft instead of the Venlafaxine. My panic attacks are almost gone, my depression is manageable, the Zoloft with the traz. didn't stop it like those first 2, it changed my life! If you want to run out of meetings with people you know, if you drive somewhere in public, but you're too anxious to even get out of the car, and other things that stop you from living a normal, anxiety life, go to the doctor, the insurance covers it all! It may not work for you like it did me (lots of things don't), but at least give it a try, you can always stop them later if they don't work! I'm not kidding, it changed my life, I was getting desperate!
