I’m sure I enjoyed reading it much more than you enjoyed living it. But what a wonderful, candid, lay-it-all-out-there story! I imagine that for those who suffer with the panic attacks, your honesty has been incredibly helpful and reassuring. Really appreciated reading it.

You’re terrific, Kara. The Times post was truly helpful for those of us who suffer from phobias — they seem to get worse as one grows older — and I was really happy to learn that medication finally helped so much.

Clearly, you are doing well. How heartening.

]]> Comment on Nothing to See Here (Yet) by Helen Capdevielle http://karabaskin.com/2011/05/04/nothing-to-see-here-yet/#comment-78 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:54:12 +0000 http://karabaskin.com/?p=6#comment-78 Agoraphobia – been there, done that. Your piece about your Maui honeymoon struck a nerve = back in 1968 I had a similar “honeymoon” in Acapulco. I thought at the time that I was deathly ill and the only one in the world with this. It took years and therapy and “better living through chemistry” but I consider myself a survivor. Take care, I am following your blog. Helen from Saint Charles MO

Loved your piece in the Sunday New York Times (Panic In Paradise)!

Your rendering of a panic attack in the current NYT is magically delicious. I wanted to send you my own account of such a thing that I wrote for Esquire years ago. If you send me your email address, I’ll send you a pdf of the story. Mine is also “funny,” and our writing voices are similar. You can reach me at ramsey.flynn@gmail.com ….

Thank you for your fabulous contribution. I think you need a sitcom. Looking forward to reading your blog in the future. Keep writing!

I’ve been on 450 mg of Wellbutrin but my pharmacologist wants me to go down to 300 mg and add Zoloft. I am 42 yrs old and considering pregnancy this next year or two. Did your doctor tell you how long after stopping zoloft that it would be out of your system?
