Zyprexa and panic attacks

Common Questions and Answers about Zyprexa and panic attacks

zyprexa

Avatar n tn The thought creates so much anxiety that I have panic attacks. This has left me seriously fed up and depressed. The thought is "what if my tattoo sleeve is cursed"? or "your tattoo is cursed". This has been going on for 3 months or so since I smoked some marijuana one night. I cant shake the thoughts! I have been put on Zyprexa and Pristiq recently. Can anyone offer me any advice on how to deal with these thoughts? Thank you!
Avatar f tn Im new to the site but so glad i have found somewhere to talk to people with similar illness. I have been having panic attacks now for 6 weeks related to a health worry. Mines always relate to health worries. I have been on zoloft for years but my doctor put me on Alprax 3 x 0.5mg per day but he doesn't want me to keep taking them because they're addictive. They also suggested putting me on Zyprexa short term.
Avatar m tn 5mg (off-label use as anxiolytic) and Prozac. However, after using this combo for a month, my panic attacks have worsened, and I actually have to use Clonazepam SOS for severe attacks. My psychiatrist has now asked me to start on Zyprexa 2.5mg and Sertraline 50mg. My questions are: 1. Although I do not have schizophrenia, why am I constantly being prescribed antipsychotics as off-label anxiolytics? 2.
Avatar f tn I lost my insurance and cannot afford the Zyprexa I have been on for nearly 10 years due to having panic attacks and anxiety. It has been 4 weeks since I took my last pill and have not slept very much at all and feel alot of anxiety and feel like I have bugs under my skin and have no appetite. I find it very diffifuclt to make it through the day at work and my mind is mush. I was told to take 5-htp and would make a big difference.
212753 tn?1275073111 I hope you sort it out pretty soon as panic attacks are the pits...I suffered with them for 26 years and then learned how to control them (like you). Not easy controlling them though when your levels are out of whack. This I found out. I hope you start to feel better soon but dont be surprised if your levels are out of whack as when my TSH went to 6.0 from stress at work and the flu, I was bad with panic attacks.
Avatar m tn and went through a tornado where afterwards i had panic and anxiety attacks. i now have diabetes (from the zyprexa) just was able to get off my low thyroid med., i got so depressed because i have been through alot in the past 12 years, i have high blood pressure, high cholestoral, high tryglicites , a lump in my breast and colitis. the colitis and breast thing bother me the terribly. i pray constantly to my God Jesus Christ, and for a while things seemed to be getting better.
Avatar n tn It has been almost two weeks since I withdrawn from zyprexa and it looks like it is getting worse everyday. I have used this medication for 1.5 months and my highest dosage was 10 mg that I took for 7 days. Im feeling very weird, not alert or not conscious at all. It feels like Im some kinda zombie without emotions. I can´t even sleep well at night, Im a sleep but awake at the same time. I get panic attacks because Im scared I will be like this forever.
Avatar f tn Well, I was previously diagnosed with depression and generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. My new doc says that I am bipolar. I dont' think I am. she said that the anxiety that I have been having is a part of the mania. I am no effexor and have previously been on prozac, paxil and lexapro. I thought you werent supossed to be on antidepressants if you are bipolar? Now Im on lamictal 200mg (mood stabilizer), 37.
Avatar f tn Been put on lustral (sertaline) and zyprexa. lets see what happens now. Seen consultant psychiatrist, defo panic and anxiety disorder. Has anyone used this medication before.
Avatar n tn However, Geodon caused me panic attacks so I switched to Lamictil. It caused me suicidal ideations and migranes. Now I am just on Wellbutrin and Abilify. They work wonders for me, great combo. So, how come you are on so much meds? Depakote and Risperdone are very corrective for BP so why is he slapping you onto Geodon too??
Avatar n tn What side effects would there be, if any , if a person was prescribed zyprexa and had been taking it for 3-4 years, but were wrongly diagnosed and did not need it?
Avatar f tn She said that she thought my panic attacks were manic episodes that manifest as irritability and panic. I don’t get it. I do have ups and downs but just like anyone else I think. I have always done well with just an antidepressant but they always seem to poop out after a couple of years and that is why she put me on the lamictal. She said that “poop out” could be another sign of bipolar. Could the Lamictal be causing any of these problems. Please help. Im lost here!

Avatar f tn s not just like the panic attacks, no heart racing and quick breathing, but I get sick to my stomach, vomit, diarrhea, headaches for days. I know I need medication but anything that treats the depression with seratonin elivators will have the side effects I don't want. I'm taking Wellbutrin now and it does not have that side effect. BUT...for the anxiety I'm on Cymbalta and it does have the sexual side effects.
Avatar n tn This was the cause of the body flushes and significantly added to the dizziness and painc. You see, both conditions can absolutely mimic panic attacks, as well as the other symptoms I discussed earlier in this post. I suppose I'm trying to say, if you are ever diagnosed with high anxiety, panic attacks or PTSD and to you, the diagnosis just doesn't fit who you know you are.
10011789 tn?1409704061 Anyone have issues with panic attacks? I had them probably 3 or 4 times in my life and never with my first pregnancy. Now with this one (having twins) I've already had 2 and I'm only 12 weeks. Both my parents take anxiety meds. I never have had to and don't want to but it's kind of scary. I'm never like stressed or thinking about anything at the time. It just suddenly hits me and I can't breath and I feel overwhelmed and trapped.

Avatar f tn I had panic attacks about 20 years ago when I worked with all women who smoked some of them chained smoked and I put it down to secondary smoke my thyroid was perfect at the time but also my job was so stressful our boss used to come in every morning and say there were too many women working and as such that was unproductive hours (worked for a construction company where 99% were men) and that one of us would have to go and he would stand there looking at us as if he was trying to decide which o
461368 tn?1206516757 But our brain and mind knows there is a problem and eventually sends up emergency flares -the panic attacks- and fog horn warnings (the anxiety). Typically, the treatment involves some medication to help the patient be more relaxed and functional. But medication is NOT the cure. The "cure," (defined by ME as the end of significant symptoms and no expectation that they will return) comes about through talk therapy with a psychiatrist or similarly qualified mental health professional.
Avatar n tn Could you 'feel' your heartbeat get faster? Also, what is your approximate age?
1000480 tn?1266592599 My panic attacks went away completely when I stpooed drinking, stopped smoking and went back to church and was healed from all my issues and worries and freak out s. then...I stopped excersising and started drinking again and i cant even look at a line and I panic beyond belief. I have missed flights, trips, and it really *****. So, this past month Im back at self care and healthy diets and it has helped tremendously! I remind myself that I have nothing to FEAR!! Fear must go. I am safe.
Avatar n tn and desided to go to the psychitrist... I was diagnosed with panic attacks... and I was prescriped with Zoloft... 25mg to begin with... and an other pill called "akamon" to help me sleep at night.... he said that its a therapy of 6 months and then I will be just fine but since I was very worried of taking these meds i kept visiting websites and they are all full with people that take them for years and no one that said... "ok i took them for 4-5 months and then I was ok"....
607502 tn?1288247540 I get panic attacks, sometimes with no warning and no obvious trigger - these are at night when I'm about to go to sleep I suddenly can't breathe and my heart is racing. Then I get the ones brought on by outside stressors, ie, situations I can't cope with.
