The Fine Art Of Losing One's Mind

I hope that someday this will find someone who needs help & something I've said will point them to a path they had not previously found out of darkness, misery, danger & fear.

I hope that for my posts too.

So: you're presenting with a history of anxiety disorder and panic, and now in addition you cannot abide certain products with a scent?

This is multiple chemical sensitivity

You should be on an SSRI. It will cure your dryer sheet issue. It worked for me, not over chemical sensitivity, but other things.

One of your docs has suggested a relatively benign over-the-counter medication Benadryl for its placebo effect as you will be highly sensitive to that effect. I suggest you take it. It will help. But you should be on something stronger.

A replacement was provided & after 2 doses it still took 2 hours to get my breathing normal

Asthma inhalers (I used them for years) work immediately by relaxing the bronchial tubes that lead to the alveoli where oxygen is exchanged. They won't work if your issue is not a histamine reaction tightening those tubes. The issue is in your head, not your lungs.
