I started having panic attacks last year when having to go out the house to a doctors, i couldn't move my hands were clenched shut I couldn't open them I couldnt breathe I was all tingly, my lips and body. 3 nurses had to come to the car and calm me down and help me in. my doctor said it was a panic attack. since then I've been on fluoxetine for anxiety, got taken off them, had to have home visits as I couldn't leave the house, doctor told me this was agrophobia.. Since then I've been to 1 doctors appointment and been referred to mental health. I've seen my phyciastrist about 2 times now, started of mirtazapine 15mg, the next appointment got prescribed 30mg, I've not taken them for about a week now as they made me feel rubbish but coming off them i felt so sick and rubbish too.. I'm not due to see my physiatrist till august and will tell that I don't want to take them as how crap they made me feel.. I know I shouldn't of stopped taking them but I couldn't cope with how crap I felt. I'm due to see my doctor next month (if I manage to go out) I'm completely house bound. Im waiting for a support work which my physiatrist has referred me too but said the waiting list is long.. I've just had a really bad panic attack, my chest hurts and is so tight I can barley get a breathe, crying getting myself in a state and my dad had to help calm me down, i feel like I'm getting nowhere I'm just told to try get out of the house but how can I do this when I go into completely panick mode I'm so fed up of feeling like this I'm panicking everyday some wonder than others but when it's bad it's bad and I can't cope like this it scares me to death and I don't know what to do anymore please if anyone can talk to me and tell me how they cope or just to know I'm not alone I'm sat in tears I'm so fed up

    Hi, I was looking for a thread like this and came across this. I was in a very similar situation than you and got panic attacks which are exactly the same you have mentioned and called 111 and ambulance in the past as it's the scariest time of my life but am on medication and learning a lot of different techniques etc for the past few months since then I haven't had a panic attack like that but have still had a panic attack though just not as bad. I know this has been months but how have you got on, have you improved?
