Yes he can have these anxiety disorders reoccur at any time. They sometimes get better or worse with age. I have panic disorders and I am stuck with them they don’t just decide to go away and stop bothering you it is a sickness you can’t control.
i have been in this situation with panic attacks, the medication helps but is not going to cure 100% i am 23 years old and have been on medication for 7 years and they still occur at times. and the outlook that you have on life has to do with the medication side effects. some people get worse o certain meds. i would say for him to get a second opinon on his medicine
It is a life long disorder. It can reoccur at any point. It is always wise to seek some form of counseling to provide you with the tools to deal with anxiety and stress so panic attacks are not a huge issue.
I have been going to the doctor for over 2 years, my depression is pretty much under control after going all the way to 150mgs of Zoloft but to this day I have been on xanax and now on ativan and neither seem to help with my anxiety, it is a life long struggle. If anyone knows of something better then xanax or ativan I’d appreciate your input.
Yes!!! I was diagnosed in 1994 with a ” panic Disorder” and put on Paxil ( which helped in the beginning) and Buspar, along with Xanax, Valium, and Ativan. I have learned from this that you can’t live your life under the fear of having a panic disorder, it takes away from your quality of life. I would suggest going to therapy ( as I have done) because it really helps to talk this out with someone- you don’t feel all alone and you become less and less dependent on the drugs.
