I'm a single mother and full-time student studying for a career in the health field. I'm now going on 1 1/2 years and the stress has finally caught up to me. The attacks are debilitating and I wonder if I'll ever be able to finish my education. I have 3 years left and am very nervous to move out of my state where my training must take place; causes me to have attacks just thinking about it. I have seen my doctor and has prescribed xanax which does help, but am afraid of being to dependent on it. Will see her tomorrow again.
