gettingthere 2 Posted December 29, 2014 I used to take medication for anxiety and panic from age 10 until i was 18 . My new doctor at that time took me off all of the medication . I was fine without them and went a good few years without much panic or anxiety , but in 1994 my brother died suddenly at work he was 31 and it caused me all sorts of anxiety and i was scared i was going to die. Another new doctor prescribed me a valium based medication and it caused me some very scary side effects . Since that time i won't take anything . I do take paracetemol for pain and have had ant-biotics but other than that i am now even too scared to take a multi vitamin . i also have a few of plaster casts , i hate being near them . My son broke his elbow in 3 places back in 2011 and he had an operation and then a cast on . I was able to go near him but i was scared of it lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
