over the years of anxiety

It all started when I was a young girl around the age of 8. I began having a school phobia and would just shake with fear. I would be so upset I would be sick in the stomach, feeling as if I had the flu. It comes out of nowhere.. I take a small dose of cymbolta everyday and for the most part I feel great, but I'm someone who hates to depend on medicine. I'm now in my late twenties and panic attacks still seem to creep up on me in times of stress, and most of all change. I'm writing this because I've been through some nasty panic attacks throughout the years. I've been to the Dr's and ER in the past and yes its true there's nothing they can find, just plain old 'nerves'...in high moments of panic I have ativan to take.. don't always take it though..I've found websites and forums like this have helped me immensely in times of struggle..so for those out there dealing with this, you are not alone! In fact, I had a panic attack last night and its been a little over a year since my last one but let me tell u, those symptoms u know, rapid heart rate, shakiness, trembling, feeling as if Ur so helpless. Well I had it all! No matter how many times u have symptoms of panic/fear u never get used to them..just learn to cope better.. today I feel like I ran a few marathons... but remember, it will pass over and u will feel better!
