Hi. I have posted here several times. I am having a rough time with anxiety right now.

A little recap...
21 year old female
Diagnosed with Panic Disorder/Anxiety

I have been having panic attacks and bad anxiety since I was about 17... I went through a period of extreme panic attacks, like every day. I went to the emergency room twice during this period and that is how I got my diagnoses. I went to a trained counselor at a Mental Health place and he also agreed with the diagnoses.

I wouldn't drive because I was afraid of having panic, I had the classic symptoms, racing heart, fear of going crazy, flushness, wanting to "get out" etc....

Now, I havn't had a lot of panic attacks lately and feel the best I have felt in awhile.. although I still have my days. Except I have been having an extreme fear of developing schzophrenia. I am not delusional (at least I don't feel like I am), no hallucinations....... I have however been suffering from bouts of derealization on and off most days.

And by derealization, I mean I just feel a bit off... like things aren't real sometimes, and this causes me to panic.

I am currently taking 25 mg of Vistaril and 25 mg of Lopressor...

For awhile I was terrified I had cancer, then I was for sure something was wrong with my heart and I would constantly take my pulse and stuff. I have had tons of blood work, stress test, CT scan, xrays, EKGs, Echos... etc..

Any opinions? thoughts?

Thanks
