I have panic disorder that has made me agoraphobic (afraid to leave my own home), and a few months ago my doctor gave me some Klonopin. I had a really bad experience on it–it was like a panic attack, but worse, and it lasted for hours. The experience left me scarred, and since then I’ve developed a phobia of all medication–even over-the-counter stuff like Advil. I always think back to that time on Klonopin and imagine every medication will do that to me. Sometimes I psych myself out so much by reading about all the side effects, that I think I imagine getting all the symptoms listed.
A few weeks ago, I was given Xanax, since I’m still agoraphobic. I broke a pill in half and took that, because I was too scared to take the whole dose. I did fine on it, besides some general nervousness. But even though my experience was alright, I still get nervous trying to take it again. I haven’t been able to since.
I know this is all in my head, but has anyone else had this phobia, and can you offer any advice on how you got over it? I need to take my medication, but this phobia has been sabotaging my treatment.

I have these migraines often and I feel that the shots are the only thing that really knocks the headache. What are these shots doing to my body? Is this harmful in some way, vs. Imitrex or Maxalt?
At home I have Lorcet, phengrin (pills and suppositories) Maxalt, and treximet. Are the shots better or worse than the pills?
