| Im on medicine for PND. About a month ago I felt terrible, Im usually a really happy and outgoing person but I felt anxious, panicked, depressed and even got to the point where I just didn't want to be around anymore, even thinking about it seems odd now because I feel totally back to my old self now.
I was really bad, I moved back in with my mum and dad and everytime I tried to go back home I would have a massive panic attack and think I was dying and end up down a&e.
I don't know how bad your panic attacks are but mine were awful, I really thought I was having a heart attack, my heart would start to race and my chest would go tight and I would feel like I couldn't breathe. It was only after I read a book about panic attacks that I started to understand them and since then I haven't had any.
Panic attacks are just your body releasing extra addrenalin (sp) which make you feel strange feelings.
Anyway things got really bad for me and I went to an out of hours doctor who gave me medicine straight away and that coupled with that book about panic attacks has helped me get better.
I feel totally back to normal now, I cant even believe I felt like that.
I think the tablets are helping so I would say they are worth taking because they have helped me feel much better, they take about 2 weeks to kick in though so dont worry if you dont feel better straight away.
Good Luck Amy, we are all here for you. | 
I can see how easy it would be to struggle with this. My mom is here for 8 weeks keeping me entertained, but if she weren't I would probably be struggling as well.
