No you are not alone at all. That is why I really like this thread that was thankfully set-up. It shows others that they are not alone and that others suffer through similar situations.

I did not get panic attacks when I was younger either but LOTS has happened over the years to contribute to my conditions.

This time of year is especially difficult. But that goes for most people without these types of disorders.

have a great holiday everyone.

right on Lacy....totally true. I have found that now with some many different circumstances. there are so many other people dealing with so many of the same issues, there is huge benefit in getting the communication lines open and providing the opportunity to give and get perspectives....here...here...to this thread and all those that have contributed!

"A House Full of Gratitude Has No Place for Fear To Hide"

Lacy & sologro57.........I agree on finding the right meds and mj strains. My wife has been on many meds over the years. It takes along time to find the right combination. The problem is that these med combinations won't work forever. If your taking 3 different kinds and one quits working you have to figure out which one quit (or 2). It's a long process to find the right combination again. Extremely stressful if you have bi-polar. Add to this a self medication of weed and who knows how this reacts with the meds. Sologro57 is right in saying it's a crap shoot but you have to start somewhere. I would think starting with a total Indica with couch lock symptoms would not be a choice for someone who fights depression in the first place. And a 100% Sativa might be too much head rush as Lacy says. And yes, different meds and different strains will effect everyone differently. So it is a crap shoot in a way but at least you can narrow the odds somewhat. Do your homework both on the meds and the strains. I seldom grow the same strain twice just for that reason. But how many people who don't grow their own know what strain they are buying...now that's a real crap shoot. Paying $300 a ounce (in this area) for something you know nothing about is crazy to me.

hey paradox, same here... had been on clonazepam for a while. Small dosage, but came to a doc that didn't like it, and since he has been a godsend, I followed his advice. But do find myself struggling with the damn anxiety still. Not really often, but often enough. I didn't realize how much the clonazepam worked. I used it as a sleep aid... Ah well, we will find help right!
