panic disorde
"At 42 years old I noticed a definite increase in anxiety and in certain social situations, I felt like I "had to get out of there".  Especially with my church work which I dearly loved, playing piano, teaching Bible Class, etc.  Panic attacks ruled my life.  It got worse.  I couldn't take long car trips (60 miles), buy groceries.  Finally I couldn't leave the house and I was having one panic attack upon another every 15 min. I was a capable person, well educated (Masters Degree), and did well at most things I tried.  My husband took me to our family Doctor who promptly put me on Clonazepam 2 mg.  I was relieved immediately and 23 yrs later am greatful for this miracle I take daily for panic attacks."
