What you are describing is a full blown Panic Attack! I know, I have them often ... I have Panic Disorder. Certain anti-depressants do help with panic and anxiety, but I still have to keep Xanax on hand to ward off some of the bad ones ... like you are having! Don't share anyone else's meds .... get your own!!! Go to the health dept or ER like others suggested! Go while you are having an attack, so they will understand!

Good luck,
Kim

remember I'm in Canada, its different here. If it goes onto my record, the company will deny me.

Once I'm with the company I wont have to pay a penny for my meds, as it'll be 100% free (GO CANADA!)

Cassiesmom- correct me if I am wrong- but a mental situation is NOT considered a " pre- existing" condition is it? Considering its not predictable etc.. Also- a panic disorder- can be caused temporarily ... Also- you are totally right about the b complex helping tremendously. When I was going through all those hormone changes, my doctor told me to take it too. ( As well as you.. lol). I could tell if I didnt take it- it sure did help.

You know, I'm not absolutely sure. I'd have to check with underwriting. I just don't want that administrative sort of thing to be a hindrance to King2005 getting the coverage she needs.

About the B complex - I talked to the pharmacologist at CVS. She suggested a combination vitamin tablet of B complex with C. Several people in our office have had bad colds over the past couple months, and C is thought to support the immune system. So I went ahead and bought it.

I'll look into B & C. Then I'll get Chad to start taking it too

I've had the joys of being sick while waiting for US insurance companies to come through with their paperwork and such, so I know how much fun that is. I'm Bi-polar, and I can tell you certainly that once I had my meds tweaked to the correct amount it made a world of difference.

Only problem now is if I miss a dose (like last night) I wake up with a wicked headache. *scowl*

**king2005** · 02-02-2007, 02:42 PM

*shakes finger* don't forget your meds...

I'm going to find it interesting taking the meds. I had to stop taking Cyclen21 cause I would miss several days, if not whole weekends & I was on it for 5yrs at that time. I'm hoping its only going to be once a day & the same stuff Chad is on, cause then we can take it at the same time & make sure we've each taken it. + if we go out or something & one forgets to bring their meds, we can share.

On a scale from 1-10 it was a 2.5-10 Mine get far worse then that. Those are the ones I fear. Its really hard for me to get a 10-10 but they are really scary going into it... I don't remember much if anything when the 10-10 has hit its peek... I only remember waking up the following day feeling very tired, sore, & a headach. Almost like someone beat me with a 2x4. My ex told me what I do, when I'm going through a 10-10, but ummm its kinda embarassing to repeat in a public forum.

I always thought that was a full blown panic attack.

So if my tiny ones are real full blown panic attacks, then what the heck are my 10-10s then?

KING---If you're in Canada, you can apply for medical coverage from the trillium plan. I don't quite know how it works, but I know a family that gets their meds from this program.
I'm really sorry to hear about your trouble, but congratulations on recognizing that you do need help, that's the first big step. Everyone seems to need help of some kind at different times in their lives, I hope you'll get back on track real quick. Borzoid is right, you can go to the emergency and they will probably give you a prescription until you can get help.
Good luck...will be cheering for you from home.

I googled "trillium plan canada" & found the site... I could be wrong but it looks like you have to be an employee to get the health benifits.
