Talk to Psychiatry on Panic Disorder
Asking For Self, Male 24, Islamabad Pakistan
It's been 3.5 years, i am diagnosed with panic disorder. A psychiatrist prescribed me Citanew for first 6 months. It made my anxiety more worse. Than psychiatrist changed my medicine and prescribed me with paroxetine 20 mg. I am taking it from 3 years daily at night. Whenever i visit the psychiatrist. He says take this medicine for 2 more months. 2 months, 2 months krty krty 3.5 years hogye hain ab. Anxiety aur panic attacks bi cure nhi huye. Fee bi de de kar thak gya hon appointments ki. Money & Time waste huwa. Aur meri problem bi solve nahi huwi iss disease ki. Ab tak aaty hain extreme panic attacks. To 3 years anti-depressant leny ka benefit kia huwa? Tell me what should i do now?

Perhaps ur disorder not recovered actually as u said and so first detailed assessment should be done, labs to rule out any organic cause, medication full trial other than ciatanew and paroxetine along with counselling, close follow up to see the recovery phase, if no recovery should go to maximum dose should be tried and if still no recovery combinations can be given....U didnt recieve complete treatment of ur problem otw Panic disorder is curable

Greetings, Dear client I can understand your condition, this seems that you have assessed quite many times visiting a psychiatrist to treat the panic disorder, sometimes it is the duty of the doctor and patient as well to think about the expert or second opinion to review the diagnosis, and treatment, to assess further for the biological and psychosocial reasons for the current situation. panic disorder or any other anxiety disorder needs psychotherapy sessions along with medications. let me write few words about the diagnosis of panic disorder ( Anxiety builds up quickly, The symptoms are severe, The person fears the catastrophic outcome, Diagnosis of panic disorder is made when;
Panic attacks unexpectedly (not in response to an identified phobic stimulus)
More than four attacks have occurred within 4 weeks or one attack has been followed by 4 weeks of persistent fear of another attack and worry about its implications.) if Panic anxiety is secondary to any other anxiety disorder that need to be evaluated. Thanks
