I want to share this to inspire

I got my first panic attack while I was driving to work. It was very scary my heart just started beating for no reason at all, I thought the only way to stop it was to get out of the car. I continued to have them, not knowing what was happening to me, then I started having them in stores and finally at my home. I was very scared. I then decided to go to the doctor, he put me on 25mg of Zoloft. I had a bad reaction to that it sent me right over the edge. I ended up at the psych ward in the hospital, where the drugged me up on Lithium, seraquil and ativan. I was so drugged I could not move, I was literally scared to get up for fear that I would die. I was in the hospital for 2 days, while my daughter was waiting for me to come home. I finally decided that I could not live like that anymore. I checked myself out of the hospital and went and stayed with my mother for a few days, she knew what was happening to me, so she knew how to comfort me. I finally went home even though I was scared that I couldn't take care of my daughter. I did little things like drive to the gas station or go to a small store, I would still have the panic attacks but I didn't care because I knew it was all in my head and I was not going to die. Eventually I was able to drive longer distances and go back to bigger stores. It was all done on will, no medicine. When you realize that you are miserable you will be amazed at just how strong you can be when you are fed up with what is happening. I don't get panic attacks anymore because I dont want to get them. I have trained myself to not think about them. If you push it to the back of your mind and fight as hard as you can they will go away. Where there is a will there is way, remember that and you will win this battle. It will take time but you will win.

bad reactions to antidepressants are common and many finish up taken to hospital by ambulance
sadly theis doesnt reduce docs entuhsiasm for prescribing them, also often the patient never returns to the doc, so he never gets to hear what happened
