Avatar f tn I took .25 mg of xanax to help me sleep, but why doesn't .25 mg stop my panic attack during the day. It wore off in 1 1/2 hours and I felt worse. I'm so scared of taking medication that why I weaned off. But now having trouble sleeping all night.
1194973 tn?1385503904 Is it possible to just get a anxiety attack out of nowhere? It's weird what I get and I'm not even sure if they are anxiety attacks. My chest starts to hurt really bad and it's like a stabbing pain, and I feel like I can't breathe. Whenever I try to it feels like there's huge bands around my chest that prevent me from taking in a breath. I also start to hyperventilate and shake and just overall feel weak--like I'm getting over a flu.

Avatar n tn I think what needhelp4me434 meant was that there is an underlying issue as to why you are having these anxiety attacks that need to be addressed, and that the medication you are on only helps take away the symptoms, and that you have to play a part in recovering from and eliminating them. This is where things like therapy, CBT, exercise, proper diet and stress management come in...

Avatar f tn It does sound like classic anxiety and panic attacks. What's funny about anxiety is that you really have no idea when it will strike and it is usually when you feel everything is fine. It sounds like you have had everything checked out thoroughly so have you thought about asking to speak to a therapist? I know it stinks being on meds, but if you need them now, it doesn't mean you will need them forever. My anxiety started after the birth of my 2nd daughter.
Avatar m tn My guess is that you have had 'issues' with anxiety and found that alcohol helped 'see you thru' it. You may not even have realized it for some time. Perhaps you began drinking more and more to achieve the same results. But alcohol can make the situation worse and is not the solution to anxiety disorder. It only causes more problems really. You need to get treatment to get to the root cause of your problems.
Avatar f tn It can take awhile for these meds to start working so you have to be patient. I know it's so hard when you have anxiety and need relief right now. How often are you taking the Klonopin?
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever been completely cured of Panic disorder, or anxiety?
Avatar f tn My youngest son is also in his final year of university and I can relate, through him, what you must be going through. He is fortunate that he did not (as yet) inherit any of my anxiety problems. His anxiety is totally understandable, being centered around all the finals and papers and study, his job and his boyfriend and no sleep.................but last week he came down with strep throat and went to the college infirmary. Does your college have one?
Avatar f tn focus on one sound in the room and just block everything else out.....also google anxiety attacks and see what you can find out how to deal with it....hope that helps some...it DOES get better tho...i had issues at work and they only hit when i was there really ....when i got home didn't have them really...keep up the good work ladies!!
780253 tn?1237555919 because I thought I was having a heart attack or something. Have had anxiety attacks and panic attacks ever since. If my dose is right I have less anxiety, and if my thyroid goes down I have more, which lets me know I need bloodwork and possibly a tweak in my dose. No one told me at first what a lifelong and stressful illness this would be. I keep having these anxiety attacks and it has crippled my confidence and limited my ambition in some ways.
1244180 tn?1325899111 I'm just crazy lol so i get the anxiety attacks every day all day. I have just bought a natural pill which I will start taking tomorrow to help relieve it.
Avatar f tn m a combat vet of the Iraq war and just retired from the Army. Never in my life have I experienced such anxiety as I have these few days. I had cancer of the throat, cancer of the esophagus, oral cancer and a few heart attacks. I've been to the ER for the heart attacks and everything came back fine. I told them my fears of cancer looked at me and said I was fine. Went to the dentist had him check me out also said I was fine, why do I have the symptoms and why do I think I have this stuff.
Avatar f tn It all started after sudden demise of our dad due to cardiac arrest a year ago, before that he had milder anxiety attacks few years ago which went away after few days. He is 38 and has no other health issues. The panic attacks are quite severe in his cases and thrice we had to take him to hospital to rule out heart attack. We visited a cardioloigist as well and he ruled out any heart related issue after looking at his reports.
2107676 tn?1388973859 m going to ask about the Vistaril too. When I have anxiety attacks I feel like my heart is going to explode out of my chest and I can hardly breathe. They feel like they last an eternity.
Avatar f tn Hi I am 35 years old and I have been having anxiety attacks for about 5 years now. They are really bad and it is hard for me to go anywhere or talk to anyone. I am afraid that I will have an anxiety attack around other people. I was never like this, I used to work and go everywhere and do everything for myself but now I can't even step outside my front door without feeling anxious and scared. It is so embarassing for me I'd rather stay in my house where no one can see me.
Avatar f tn s taken daily (usually 2-3 times a day), it builds in the system, to allow for a more steady state of calm, versus Xanax which peaks quickly, and then wears off quickly, leaving your body wanting more to control your anxiety. You said in your OP that the Xanax isn't really working, and obviously you're still having issues with your anxiety, or you wouldn't have reached out here.

Avatar f tn I too have a horrible anxiety disorder. It feels like the panic attacks never stop sometimes and I am constantly on "overdrive". This has been especially true now more than ever since I quite taking opiates. I also take xanax and it helps immensely but I know it won't work forever so I have started taking an antidepressant and am seeing a therapist once a week. I haven't been doing this long but I really hope it works. I know I can't go on ignoring this problem.
Avatar n tn Since you have had the ectopics since very young, nothing sounds real suspicious to me. Ectopics that start suddenly or permanently worsen are more likely to be caused by coronary artery disease. The absence of angina is another clue that your heart is probably OK. Having said that, you are 35 now, and as you know, you're in a higher risk category. I think you need to see your cardiologist and get a stress test.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I'm a 17 year old female and I'm prone to very extreme panic attacks. I've already been fired from two different jobs for having these attacks and I don't know what to do anymore. It begins with an uneasy feeling in my stomach and I start to think that I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing, no matter what it is. If I don't leave, my heart starts to beat too quickly, I start to hyperventilate, sweat, and cry.
Avatar f tn t know it was social anxiety until about 6 months ago, I just thought it was me. Over the past year or so I have been getting anxiety and panic attacks which are taking over my life, i dont know what braught them on but its really starting to scare me...
Avatar m tn Not always. I've been thru the whole therapy thing (it did help a lot) but still take medication for panic attacks, and have for many years. Panic attacks are hard to overcome. It's the "fight or flight" response coming at the wrong time (when it's not needed), flooding our bodies with adrenaline. The adrenaline is not needed and this results in a "panic attack.
