Relief

I finally did what my couselor suggested. I called my doctor and told him about the anxiety attacks. He prescribed Clonazepam. I'm to take 1/2 pill between breakfast and lunch and another half between lunch and dinner. It's generic for something or other that helps combat panic attacks. So, I took half a pill around three this afternoon and lay down on the bed. My blood pressure had gone up to 148/some other big number. The heart monitor said that was high blood pressure. I'm not surprized. My heart has been beating out of my chest for about three weeks now. I lay quietly thinking "I'm really not going to become adicted to anything. I really need this. I trust the doc." I reminded myself that it takes time for pills to dissolve and it would take a while for anything to change. Within about twenty minutes or less, I felt a noticable difference. I felt calm and smiled for the first time in a while. I was able to make decisions and cook dinner and actually ate some of it. I don't feel anxious now. It's almost ten so I need to get to bed. The garage sale is tomorrow and I'm almost ready. Need to clean up the house some because the grandkids will be here in the morning.
