Suggest Remedy For Anxiety, Panic Attacks With Severe Migraine Treated With Xanax

god I hope someone can help me. I suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks to the point where I won t leave the house form days, miss apppointments, don t bath regularly etc. The problem is that I also suffer from fibromyalgia a bone disease which is a very painful adult form of rickets disease , have many bad spots in my back, I wake up with it killing me in three separate areas. I also suffer from extreme migraines at least 15 days out of the month. I have a pain Dr. who has tried successfully over the years to give me the right medications so that I can have some kind of life. But after a very serious car accident (a drunk driver was going 75 miles an hour and I was driving 55 miles an hour .I was shown not to be at fault) my suv rolled over 5 times and rode upside down for about 600 yards. I was working on my Bachelors degree trying to get off of disability when this happened and I went downhill very fast from here. We had to up my pain meds and I lost my psychiatrist when he moved too far away. after a few yeaRS ON MAINLY NARCOTICS AND NO PSCH MEDS THINGS QUICKLY GOT WORSE. I DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AND AT MY REQUEST I HAVE ASKED MY PAIN DR. TO LOWER MY NARCOTICS SLOWLY because I never felt comfortable in my own skin. I Know I need to focus on my psch meds and slowly reduce pain meds because they don t even touch my headaches. To be clear my biggest problem is my migraines. I had them since I was little up to 5 times a year and they would get slowly worse as mthe day went on .I d go to the ER and they would give me a shot of Demerol and id sleep it of and id be fine. But then they stopped helping me (I wanted a dr. in control of my meds at all times because I went to rehab for alcohol when I was 23 and am a big believer in sobriety and am not a high seeker. for years nothing but injection based Demerol would help my headaches then I discovered that my psych med Xanax worked as well if not be sooner. so I want to ween myself off almost all my pain meds and just be on 1 mg. 4 times a day of Xanax (which stops the panic and constant fear as well as the headaches) 160 mg of Geodon and 60 mg of Prozac. but no one will help me do this. I think I take more narcotics than I need because I m on the wrong meds. I m self medicating with narcotics especially when I feel anxious or have a migraine. But NO ONE will prescribe me the Xanax. that and Geodon and Prozac is the most important meds .they should start from there and then see where I m at with the pain. please help. I want my life back. these migraines hit me like a mack truck. within 15 minutes the pain is so intense my body tries to reject it by projectile vomiting which also causes me to pee myself go through cold and hot sweats and to shake and wine-scream violently. all I want to do is drill a hole in my temples to release the pressure and the pain but even that wouldn t work. I ve tried all the Imitrex , Maxalt etc which help once in a while but by no means controls it. the vomiting happens so soon after the pain starts that s I cant keep any meds down. So medication delivery becomes a problem, that s why I went to the ER for shots. But they wont give them to me any more because they are to frequent now. when all I need is I mg of Xanax every 5 hours. Help isn t less meds better than 15 or so of everything you can think of verses 3 psch meds.? I need psych meds not narcotics.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are worrying and getting anxious too much. That is the problem. You think that medicine is the only remedy which can cure your problem. But doctors know otherwise and they are not giving any more. They want to be experienced with the trouble, then know yourself for sure that nothing happens even when you don't take repeated doses, then realize the facts and calm down slowly. People do calm down when the inevitable is about to happen an when there is no other way.

So please calm down. Medicines are doing their best and now you should do your part. Learn to RELAX. Take deep breaths. Drink enough water. know yourself, your worth, life cause, pray etc. Slowly you come back to life. Anxiety is a disorder and not a disease. disorders are cured with psychotherapy.

Post a direct question to me mentioning all your details in this website. I shall prescibe some psychotherapy techniques which shall slowly bring you out of this condition. For more visit http://psychocure.blogspot.com.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
