I have had anxiety and panic attacks for 20 years off and on. I tend to be able to push through them till the next wave but this time I cnt and went to talk to a dr. I told the dr had a few episodes at work of where I would feel overheated after just a few min outside of our unit(ambulance) I would feel like I was super hot and had to unbutton my shirt, my heart would race, palms sweaty, and just feeling like I was gonna pass out. Usually I sit in front of the air vent drink my water and eat whatever snack I had near me and I eventually calm dwn after a bit. Told the dr I had anxiety before when I was 20 and was prescribed at tht time floxitene which I never took. Told Dr my heart rate has been in the 120s almost daily all day and it doesn't come dwn till late at night usually. He didn't ask me anything just went with what I said and prescribed me 20mg peroxitine and 5mg buspitone twice a day. I'm not gonna take the peroxitine dont want to be on a ssri...I know he said tht one was for the panic and buspirone was for the anxiety. Anyone have any luck with busoirone alone, what side effects did u have and how long till u noticed it helped.  I'm tired of being in a constant state of panic and not being able to go certain places cuz I have had a panic attack there before or just always needing someone to go with me just to keep the edge off a lil. I'm about to lose my job cuz I've been off 2 weeks already, just got a new apt, and have kids. I'm really hoping this med works.
