Hi I've been a drug addict since i was in 9th grade. i had taken drugs before then but that's when i started taking opiates on a daily basis. I didn't have my first panic attack until 2 years ago when i was 19 I was taking opiates as usual mostly oxycontin and roxi's but i was also doing a lot of cocaine and xanax at that time and i feel like it first happened when i stopped taking xanax after a couple weeks straight of taking about 10mg a day. then after the first i started getting them more often and they got worse. then about a year later for the first time i got into a suboxone program and tried to stop taking opiates thats when i really feel like i lost it i panicked constantly and became agoraphobic. i finally got completely clean about 4 months ago. I've been agoraphobic for a little over a year and haven't left my house once since april. but I now have a psychologist and a therapist who come to my house 3 times a week and ive been making slow progress but it's rough.
