I am 28 years old and have been suffering from panic attacks/anxiety for 8 years. I have never told my doctor but I think it was induced by taking illegal drugs. I was taking ecstasy, cocaine, cannabis, speed, diazepan, alchohol etc for about 4 years every weekend and one night i was smoking a joint and to put it mildly I freaked right out. I have never touched illegal drugs since then and have been taking Anti Depressants and Valium etc since. I have never told my doctor what I think brought all this on and now wonder if its worth going back to him and telling him? Presumably the medication that he has been giving me for all this time is the same stuff I would be getting regardless of the catylyst?
My panic attacks are less frequent now however I still suffer from bad anxiety and am the most stressed out person in the world (it feels like that anyway) I have spoke to a Psychiatrist, a Psycholgist and they have never helped one bit. Any other similar experiences out there?
