Hi all Nice to meet you
Question:
From Dr S.Sarafi Hi again and thank you for your kind welcome to the group. If you don’t mind I will go under the name of Smurf from now on, I think it is far more friendly and informal. Smurf

Hello Brian. I do not recall reading any of your posts. Are you hiding? 
I just wanted to say hello and I hope that the medication will bring you some relief. Paula (Zedexa) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Welcome! Just curious, what is your specialty? If you want to share that is. I’m not surprised at all that medical professionals are also victims of panic/anxiety. They are human too. I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician in NY for 8 years with the worst panic attacks and extreme anxiety everyday. None of it really from my work. Oddly, the adrenaline rush that I would get on an emergency call would actually help me….as strange as it was. Shouldv’e been the opposite, yet I thrived on it. I eventually left that field and now work for a computer equipment company as a service technician. The stress is actually more in this field. After years of not having panic attacks anymore I recently (2.5 months ago) started getting them again when I developed a bad sinus infection which resisted antibiotic therapy and subsequently I had Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. I felt aweful for 2 months both before and after the surgery although the infection cleared up from the surgery and I could breath better. I then ended up with depression, perhaps as a result of feeling lousy with the sinusitis. I was just given Paxil to try by my MD. I will give it a shot and see what happens but I’ve always been a "no-meds-for-me" kind of guy. However, my depression has reached the point where it is serverly impacting my ability to work….and I cant have that. Need to bring home the bacon! Anyways, sorry for the long note. Welcome…come by and vent, talk, read, laugh! Brian C.
