Depression & Anxiety

[miss S]

Hi I'm new here..........

 

About 5 months ago I had an pannic attack, I'm 24 years old, I just passed out at my friends house when i came to, I couldnt breathe and my hands and feet felt like needles and pins. it realy felt as if i was dieing. after that day nothing has been the same, i thought there was something seriously wrong with me. went for check ups at the dr but they just said it's panic attacks. i got very scared of having another attack, I stayed indoors, didnt wanna go out or anything. My doctor said i should start taking fluoxitine 20mg, starting it i was very anxious at first, I've been on it for more than two months, still feeling a bit anxious but i can go on with my daily tasks. I'm still fearing another attack, sometimes im scared of not being able to breathe, or that there is something in my throat. I know this is just something that i have to get through. I stopped drinking and all other bad things, changed my whole life style because of this happening. i realy want to know if there realy is people that do recover from this. is my medication good, should i stay on them and can i drink something over weekends? will this be over one day, it realy terrifies me.........................
