Thanks baraka, that actually was very useful. I looked up hypochondria on google, learnt about it and took a test. Normal people would get a score of 14-28, and I got... 49.

Good to hear you are doing better. Medications aren't always the best way to deal with things. Often they are the worst. Your acupuncture claims have me intrigued.

Coz,
It's excellent to hear that you have greatly improved and are on the strong road to full recovery. It was also wise that you didn't give up, but instead kept trying for solutions that would help, until you found one.....And good that you uncovered the added complexities of your back injury and the meds that didn't agree with you. The body and mind definitely have a strong innate ability to bounce back, and you've supplemented that by trying alternative approaches like the acupuncture. Hang in there dude, you're on your way.....! Plus, I would be willing to bet that your sharing of this experience has already benefitted others.....cool....

Don't give up hope mate, I've been unknowingly suffering form a panic disorder for about 10 years but failed to see it for what it was, I finally went to a doctor in Janurary. As with you, the medication didn't really help, but they do get easier to deal with over time.
I havn't yet managed to control them as such, but I can deal with them a lot better, basically I'm able to just sit through them and let them pass without things getting too bad. It helped me a lot when the science behind panic attacks was explained to me, if you havn't already looked into it it may help. It certainly removes a lot of the "fear" aspect of the whole experience once you understand the physical (i.e. chemical) things in your brain that are causing the feelings.
Good luck mate, things can only get better
