Okay, so here goes...
I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with me. I've done alot of searching on the internet for a possible self diagnosis just to make myself feel better and more safe... to let myself know that there is something that can help me.
Here's what I've come up with - I have all the symptoms of anxiety attacks except that when I get them they tend to last for weeks... not minutes or hours. It's hard to explain how I feel... mostly terrified and angry that it won't go away. The first time this happened I went to doctor after doctor and they gave me every kind of pill imaginable and the last doctor I saw perscribed Zyprexa 2.5 mg. The next day everything was fine. I was myself again and it all just seemed like it was a nightmare. I was on Zyprexa for 2 weeks... they weened me off slowly and everything was fine. After that I had one or two more attacks and I just took a dose of Zyprexa and it would be gone the next morning. I didn't understand why Zyprexa worked for me and nothing else did since it is primarily used for schizophrenia. Anyway, I haven't had an attack for over a year and all of a sudden 3 weeks ago the nightmare was back... normally I would take the Zyprexa, but I'm pregnant now and I don't know what to do. I don't want anything to harm my baby. Please help.
