Hi,
My name is Brittany, and I have always had little panic attacks, ever since the age of 6. When I was little I was always afraid of choking, so i would never eat. Panic attacks would come and go, and when I was 13 I was prescribed with panic disorder. I started taking zoloft and i had no side effects and about freshmen year I stopped taking it, thinking my disorder was fixed and I didnt have to take it again. This past weekend though, when I was eating, I had a panic attack in that I couldn't control my fingers, I started to worry that I had some sort of brain tumor or other illness that would not make me live a normal life. Since that night, I have been on my zoloft again, but it doesn't seem to be working as it did last time. I am always tired, not too exhausted, but enough as if i were to close my eyes i could drift off, I have no sexual desire, (even though i like to stay a virgin) it still sorta weird. I also feel somewhat apathetic. The source of my anxiety is not in dying suddenly, but in like having cancer or having a stroke or something. I am in constant fear that I won't be able to live my life because i have a disease. Is this normal, and is anyone else having these symptoms?! I am 17 years old, and just want to live normal.

i think maybe ur medications rn't right for this time. maybe u need sumthing heavier or lighter.
did u talk to ur docter yett?? maybe he/she will give u a different medication if u didnt already talk to them
and also try going to other docters and see wht they sayy
maybe tht will help.
I was the exact same way when I was a kid about food. I was so afraid of choking I just wouldn't eat. My mom thought I had an eating disorder.I eventually grew out of it but I still have anxiety (not panic) attacks. I don't think you're abnormal in any way because you sound a lot like me, unless we're both fucked up..
LOL, yea hopefully we're not fucked up. I am going to see a doctor on Tuesday and see what he says. I'm feeling a little better today, hopefully the meds are kicking in or maybe i am getting stronger with overcoming this again. Thanks for your comments, they make me feel a lot better
