hi grace!!!
i dont know about panic attacks,but can tell you depression seems to be a state of mind more than anything else,i beat depression without any meds or docs and im proud of that fact,it took alot out of me though.i became a smarter stronger person after that, i wont doubt your doctor,but alot of time they will be to quick to prescribe meds that may not even be needed or usefull.we are the ones who truly know ourselves .you need to find what works for you,if you find comfort with your daughter than thats great,do it.as far as going to an ex's house thats more guts than i got,mine would leave me sitting on the doorstep.but meds are not the magical cure for everything.they might help,but underneath the problem is still there.how long have you had tm?im just curious to know.

Yesterday I had to go see a psychiatrist. Since March 6th, I've been having horrific panic attacks. I spoke to my neuros office and was told that it is common for people suffering cord insult to have problems like these---not just because of the depression that comes along with the physical disability, but also from the drugs used to treat it. With my Devic's, I'm on huge doses of not only prednisone but other immunosuppressants,! and of course the myriad of other drugs used to keep me functioning. Have any of you dealt with this issue, and if so what helped? For now, they've prescribed Zoloft and Xanax.I swear to you, the first panic attack I had was so horrific that I fled my house at 4:30 A.M., making the drive to my ex's house so I wouldn't be alone. I could not catch my breath, my face and fingers were going numb, and I quite literally wanted to *run* up and down the street. Since then, I've had several more, the last one necessitating a trip to the hospital at 11:00 o'clock at night. My oldest daughter has come back to stay with me as I am terrified of being alone.My question is this---why does cord insult itslf cause depression regardless of degree! of disability?Grace
