Horse caca.
My blood pressure has been clocked at 200/120 (above stroke level).
Suicide is prevalent in young victims. Whether directly or indirectly,
panic can cause death.
If you panic and are reading this, make an effort to calm yourself and
read the rest of this.
Immediate medications can remove the possibility of death entirely.
You will need a non-moron doctor who will give you
xanax and possible,
after a short time,
klonopin (lots of medications are in this type, so
don't let slight variations scare you). DO BE AFRAID of nitwit doctors
who take you from stroke-level blood-pressure and attempt to control
your immediate symptoms with long-term, experimental medications, such
as SSRI's,
Buspar, etc.
Don't be afraid to go from doctor to doctor until you find RELIEF.
Believe me, when you find RELIEF, you will know it. You don't deserve
to be a guinea pig. You don't deserve to undergo torment and torture
just because some doctors are afraid of certain medications,
especially in the short term. If you are here, you are horrified. Seek
out Xanax/Ativan. If a moron doctor tries to convince you otherwise,
simply get another doctor.
THESE MEDS are NOT long term solutions for everyone. (They were for
me.) Docs who give you a 4-week-to-begin-feeling-it medication when
you're going to blow a blood vessel in your brain tonight are not
worth their pieces of paper telling them that they're doctors.
Find relief, THEN find a long-term solution.
NEVER let a doctor make you uncomfortable or frightened. Take that
from a former guinea pig.
There are medications that are 98+% effective, especially in the short
term. These medications got a bad rep in the 80's, and new nitwit
doctors are too afraid of malpractice lawsuits than your death.
Benzodiazepines were created to treat a disease, and that's us. Taking
"a couple
valiums" (to avoid parental duties) in the 80's was widely
ridiculed. That doesn't mean that you have to suffer because you're
the person the drug was actually created for.
Also, benzos CAN be used long-term by a wise doctor and a responsible
patient. I've been taking them for ten years, and would have died long
ago without them. (They're not a frosty cupcake either. It took a long
time to understand HOW to take them.)
If you are helped by other medications, fine. However:
1) No other medication works IMMEDIATELY
2) No medication works 100% of the time. SSRI's, for example, only
work for 40% of those who take them for panic/anxiety (higher for
depression)
3) There are a lot of morons out there, and some even have degrees and
MD's. Scribbles on the skin of goats doesn't mean the person has a
brain.
TAKE CHARGE of your getting better. DO NOT become a victim or a guinea
pig. I've taken more experimental medications that I can remember. The
only constant is that the doctor was a doof who didn't like to "go
with what works".
