    Default New to group-What are some other treatments others have found helpful?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new here, so I hope this is the right thread to post this question. But I've had this fear since I was a little kid and I've been through almost every thing I can think off including counseling, biofeedback, exercises, and so on but I'm so bad that it seems that medications are in the end the only options for me to be able to keep on going and not to have nervous break downs and go totally off the deep end. Along with being a caregiver for my grandma who is sick and not feeling well a lot of times (and I'm her only option for help) and then me dealing with my own problems with very bad stomach issues my self. So I always have to alternate between Compazine, Promethazine, Zofran, Tigan, Medical Marijuana and anxiety meds on an as needed basis. So what are some others treatments that work for them, I would love to hear some other advice. Thanks very much. Its great to be with others like myself, doesn't make me feel so alone.

    Hi justin. You are definitely not alone. i have had this phobia since i was 13 years old. and I am now 36 years old. i have had some very dark and hard moments in my life due to this phobia. but i managed to get thru. i am not married and have a 22 month old daughter. she motivates me to fight this phobia. i have been on medication for over 10 years now. i take effexor. it has helped me so much. i decided to get off it when i was trying to get pregnant. it was hard but managed. but now i am back on it. i also have tried various treatments like therapy. the most recent was I found a counselor who focuses on emet. she does skpe with all her phone sessions. she was amazing. it was nice to finally meet a counselor who knew this phobia. i wish you the best.
