Yep - I would try anything legal or otherwise if it got rid of panic attacks  :'( however  ::)

What time is it over there?

Right now 845 pm. I think you guys are about 5 hours ahead of us. Maybe 4??

Not sure if you've ever tried l-theanine but it's worth a try. I started several weeks ago and I have to say I think my anxiety is less. Not gone but maybe less. Manageable. I think. Lol.

CLKD - v wise words!   :thankyou:

Dogdoc - symptoms have definitely become 'tolerable' even if still there on occasions. First four months, none at all and I felt so good I even applied for a promotion (something I'd never have considered in my previous state!). However, this month I have  had two days of sudden weirdness - and went into total panic mode: 'it's not my hormones but something worse and I am about to die' etc etc. Luckily, by the end of the second day of aching, severe lethargy and feeling just 'odd', I started to spot. (I am on Day 19 of this month but had no bleed at the end of the last month - which isn't unusual on Qlaira). This made me bizarrely happy as it suggests it is the old hormones, after all! Doc has since said that spotting is a sign of too little oestrogen in the dose I am taking (Qlaira is one of the lowest dose pills) so I may need to have a stronger one. This doesn't appeal as I like that Qlaira is more bio identical.

Interesting, since being on the pill, my headaches/migraines have so far been better (wait for it, I will have a hum-dinger of a migraine tomorrow now I have said that!).

But if you feel well, why rock the boat?  If this regime suits and if your own hormones even out  :-\

Congrats on doing so well briony. I'm so glad for you. I know the 'dear god I'm dying' feeling very well. You'd think after several YEARS of it occurring I'd stop panicking every time something felt weird but no. Apparently my adrenal glands are quite happy to work overtime. :(
