If my
story shocks you, then perhaps you aren't like me,
and my discovery might not help you, but if not then
you likely suffer as I did, and you are going to be
absolutely delighted with the information I am going
to give you. It took me only 7 days of
medication-free treatment to get me over 8 years of
hell, but here is my story. . .
The
Beginning...The Nightmare
It
started in college. I was 20 years old, and I was
recovering after a heatstroke attack. I don't know
if this was part of it or not, but soon after I was
in class and felt my heart start to beat a lot
faster than usual. I felt really bad and had to get
out of the classroom. I just felt totally out of it,
and didn't know it was a panic attack obviously, and
I had no idea what was wrong or why it was
happening.
My doctor told me I had a panic attack, and at the
time I thought he was joking. I had heard of panic
attacks but thought they were for people with
psychological problems or worries that were too much
for them. I never had any of that, and the heat
stroke was the only thing I could think of. I
thought I would soon get over it, but how wrong I
was. That was just the beginning.
The Inevitable
I now know the rest was
inevitable. It happened more often - shopping malls,
cinemas, parties and even at home. There didn't seem
to be any reason or any trigger. It just happened.
If this is you, then read on because there is more
to come.
The way it would work would be that I would be OK,
perhaps in a crowd with my friends, when I would
feel my heart starting to beat faster and faster: I
would feel in a panic that is hard to describe. Time
speeded up and I couldn't swallow - my throat seemed
to swell up, though it didn't really. I was in a
shopping mall at the time, and I just ran out. It
only lasted 5 minutes, but at that point I decided I
had to get some proper treatment.
The Treatment -
Therapy
I started seeing a therapist, and each session I
talked to myself while she took notes of what I was
saying. She then made me do breathing exercises and
really didn't do much at all. I stopped after a few
sessions because she was doing nothing for me. I got
the idea she hadn't a clue how to treat me, and
suggested that Paxil CR would help. I didn't know it
then, and she didn't say, but that that is a trade
name for paroxetine hydrochloride that creates
suicidal tendencies in teenagers - just what I
needed!
The Chemical Solution (or
Suicide)
Luckily the Paxil gave me stomach problems so I
didn't feel like killing myself, but I then went
onto Zoloft (setraline hydrochloride),
Klonopin
(another benzodiazepine) and a few others. They
seemed to have no clue at all what to prescribe, and
everything I was given was going to give me
withdrawal symptoms. I was beginning to think that
the suicide pills might be the best to take! I
didn't know that all of these tended to give young
adults such feelings.
To be truthful, the Zoloft was the best, and
appeared to work at first but it was likely just a
placebo effect, because my panic attacks and anxiety
came back. However, I did get a bit excited because,
for a short time at least, I felt normal again. I
could go out without feeling panic. However, Zoloft
has a side effect of appetite loss, and I got it in
spades. I lost my appetite after a few weeks and
started getting dizzy - I don’t know if that was the
drugs or not eating, but it wasn't a pleasant
feeling.
Forced to Leave Home
Then something terrible happened to
me during all of this. You would think
life had dealt me a bum hand already,
but my dad died (he was 54) and my step
mother kicked me out of the house. A
terrible thing for a young woman on top
of what I already had to cope with. She
must have been waiting! I cried my eyes
out for days, started drinking when I
was 20 and found that alcohol cured my
anxiety very effectively. I drank
constantly for another 3 years, and my
blood pressure rocketed to 160 over 100
when it was normally a lot lower than
that.
By then my stress had come back, and the alcohol
wasn't helping much. My doctor told me that blood
pressure pills would be too dangerous to take with
my panic attacks treatment, so I tried exercise. It
didn't help, nor did cutting down the alcohol. My
blood pressure still hit these dangerously high
levels and that's when I decide to attend a mental
health center.
The
Mental Health Center
The doctor there prescribed me them all: Paxil,
Xanax, Celexa - you name it I had it. I informed my
doctor that I had Xanax before and it was the only
one that had ever had any effect on me. The rest
were useless. The nurse told me that doctors are
given all these drugs to sell with incentives to
sell them - they get vacations, hotel rooms and even
checks to sell them, and while I didn't know that at
the time I can well believe it, since no doctor that
treated me tried to find the best solution - they
just bombarded me with drugs and didn't explain any
side effects - suicidal tendencies, appetite loss,
digestion problems, dependence - you name it, they
had it.
I insisted he give me something else, and he gave me
Celexa - I read that is for severe depression and
affects your brain. Its side-effects include drowsiness, insomnia, hallucinations. . . I got all
of these! I had very strange yawns and felt totally
weird. He also gave me Klonopin with the same
symptoms. When I went back to him, all he did was
double my dosage (more money for him perhaps). So I
complain about the side effects and he doubles my
dosage?
The
Chemical Soup
I ended up in ER. The side effects seemed to sedate
me and the Klonopin helped the panic attacks, but
the whole chemical soup made me far too tired. My
doctor gave me Prozac. Well, that was a total
disaster. . .
Then I went onto Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) bat
that didn't last long. It was too expensive. Just as
well, because one its side effects was causing
suicidal tendencies. If they can't cure they kill
you! Then back to Celexa, them onto
Klonopin and
finally back to Paxil and
Klonopin. The
Paxil seemed
OK, but after a few weeks I go dizzy and weak and
was back in ER. Then back onto
Klonopin and
Paxil. I
gave up, and was really contemplating ending it all
when something happened to change my mind.
AT
Last - A Cure!
One of my very few real friends had seen something
online, and brought it to my attention. I checked
out what it had to say and got really excited.
Finally I had found something that helped me in a
big way. Until then I had never been truly free from
my panic attacks, and anxiety had always been part
of my life. It was dreadful nor being able to live a
normal life and I can understand how many young
people killed themselves while on these drugs. I
made a conscious decision to find my own cure - the
doctors were doing nothing but getting me hooked on
every drug in the book.
A friend suggested that I try something she had read
about: a program of treatment for panic attacks that
was almost guaranteed to work. I didn't believe her
of course, but my skepticism didn't go so far as to
dissuade me from trying it - I was ready to try
anything by then. I read about it and decided to
give it a try after being impressed by the positive
reviews it received. It certainly cost less than all
these drugs!
I discovered a method of relieving anxiety that
involved no drugs and no other form of medication. I
followed this program for several days and was
astounded by the results. Within a week I was seeing
improvements in the frequency of my attacks, and it
has been over a year now since my last attack. It
wasn't easy to understand at first, but there was a
great deal of help given and I soon picked up the
way it worked. After that I found it easy and I
never thought I would ever feel like this again.
The Course and How it
Works
The name of the treatment is
'One Move
Technique TM' developed from
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
It is a self-help course that does away with
doctors and their chemical soups.
I learn not only
how to tolerate the
attacks but also
to cure them.
This is a structured method to control and get
yourself prepared for the next panic attack
and eventually they go away - for good.
I feel so great that I want to share what I
have found with everybody that felt the same as I
did. However, I can't tell you any more here because
I don't have the legal permission to do so.
Take my word for it: this does work, and if you feel
even half as I did, then you would jump at the
chance. If you don't then you haven't gone through
what I have yet, but you will. You can my word for
that, and I don't blame you for not believing me.
Keep this reference though, because a time will come
when you will try anything just to be normal again,
and then you will thank me.
I know it!
Sincerely,
Kelly
