I"m very sorry that you're dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. I have dealt with them too, and I know how bad they can make you feel.
Anon, your doctors are probably trying you on anti-depressants because several of those medicines also help with anxiety. You may have not yet found the right one for you. But there IS a possibility that they will help.
Are you sure that the panic attacks and the contraceptive are linked? Are you back on any birth control at all? What makes you very sure that this is hormone-related?
How long ago did the panic attacks begin? How long has it been since you could go out of the house?
Do you remember what meds you have tried? How long did you take them?
Have you considered or tried counseling or therapy? Therapy can give us tools to deal with our anxiety. We can learn to talk ourselves down, to see the rational side through the anxiety. It doesn't always help, but it helps a great deal of the time.
Please tell us a little more about your situation so that we can possibly help. There ARE things that can help you, Anon. Don't give up.
