Conquer Your Panic

For a little less than a year, I was prescribed Xanex as needed at 0.5 mg- and then after about a month of realizing this didn’t work at all 1 mg. After a year of having bad panic attacks about weekly, I figured that the Xanex even at 1 mg didn’t seem to ever have helped much, as it never got rid of any of my panic attacks. I had also been on 1.5 mg of Clanazopam. When I saw my psychiatrist about a week ago, he changed my dosage to 2 mg of Xanex as needed and put me on Lorazopam. The Lorazopam didn’t seem to work, but the 2 mg of Xanex FINALLY took away my panic attacks, as well as made me pretty tired. After 3 or so days of taking Lorazopam without relief, I called my psychiatrist and he changed my dosage to 0.5 mg to 1 mg of Xanex every six hours, and the Lorazipam as needed. For about 4 days in total, I took 1 mg of Xanex every 6 hours, 1 mg of Lorazopam every eight hours, and would occasionally take 1 mg of Xanex if I felt I needed it due to a panic attack- which seemed to be taking place every other day to every day. Today, my doctor ordered in a different prescription that I haven’t started yet, but I didn’t take any anti-anxiety medication today (which, up until a week ago shouldn’t have normally made much of a difference). The last time I took Xanex was 2 mg last night around 9 or 10 pm. About two hours ago, I noticed that I started to feel anxious. We were doing "relay races" and I ran across a gym 3 or so times, though I never really exercise and that increased my heart-rate, thus increasing my anxiety. Within the timespan of 30 minutes, I realized that I became really unaware of what was going on around me, and I felt incredibly out-of-it- almost as though I had been drugged, though I am almost certain that is not the case, as before that I had just been at home. I didn’t really feel anxious until I realized that I couldn’t really realize what was going on around me, which I then associated as a symptom of a (bad) panic attack and after another 15 or so minutes, took 2 mg of Xanex. (This was around 4:30 pm.) The only thing, aside from that, was my racing heart. Normally, my panic attacks start out by either a racing heart or feeling nauseous (I am deathly afraid of throwing up), and result in me feeling either really hot or really cold, usually shaking, and after a while MAYBE feeling slightly out-of-it. Am I experiencing some kind of withdrawal to Xanex? Have I even taken it long enough to induce some kind of addiction? Sorry this is so long, but this really freaked me out and I could use ANY kind of help. Thank you all so much for any thing you have to add!!!!!
I should mention that I have only taken Xanex, less the 4 day span, as needed on top of ONE other benzodiazopene. I’ve never taken Clanazopam AND Lorazopam, etc. Just one "daily" medication, and Xanex p.r.n.

Yes, you Psychiatrist has you on several Meds doing the same thing. I was on 2mg Xanax for years it has a very short life span (this means how long it’s in your system), well, I also have OCD which has made my room a hoarders paradise, and I would lose the bottle in all my stuff, JUST 1 night without one was a nightmare, A minute seemed like an hour, felt like things under my skin, tremors, I mean Xanax can be pretty wicked in your body doesn’t get it’s dose. I finally just went back on Klonopin,it has a longer life span and you are less likely to suffer withdrawl, When I was on .05 mg of Lorazopam , I ended up in the ER one night, these can be really scary if your body is used to them, and then it has none, plus them putting you on several different kinds, and taking them away, Not Good. Actually, I have found nothing to relieve my anxiety when it is intense, you get used to the pills then they don;t help. Good Luck, look up your meds on WebMD. they are giving you too many
benzodiazepines, they all can cause withdrawl. And they are prescribed for the same condition, one on top of the other is ridiculous. Brown Eyes

I’m on Xanax 1mg ‘as needed’ I have had 3 today but i’m feeling really tight in the chest, but still breathing normally, its hard to describe, its like I cant take in a deep breath…….then all of a sudden I get a deep breath and moment of relief then back to the shallow breathing.

you can also try breathing through a straw to help control ur breathing u also might try 2 get some coping skills so u can try to handle ur panic attacks without the use of medication…some of the side effects of the meds is worse 4 u…..good luck hope u feel better soon

a lot of my friends drink and go to parties and just have a good time. i would have gone much earlier if i didn’t suffer from panic attacks… it all started when i tried weed for the first time. i started to panic, had a panic attack, and developed an anxiety disorder. honestly, i feel a lot better now and i haven’t had a panic attack in about 4 months. i want to know what anybody thinks about me going out and drinking? i don’t want to be stuck in a party atmosphere with a bunch of people i don’t know and then have a panic attack. im also a little worried because since weed made me feel so weird, i don’t know if alcohol would have the same effect and make me feel really anxious. any advice on going would help too. im currently on anti-anxiety medecine as well as ativan for short-term relief.

If I were you first I would double check the interaction of the medication your on with alcohol.Then i would set myself a (no going back) limit like max two beers or two drinks with non alcohol in between to pass the time and fit in–you don’t have to get s***faced to have fun.Tell a trusted buddy your problem so he will be around and be willing to leave right away if you start to get anxious. Also,watch out being on the ativan its a real b**** to get off of, I speak from experience, good luck, be safe

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been having panic attacks. I had started smoking weed daily around the same time and last week got to thinking "Hmm, maybe the 420 is triggering my panic attacks" so I decided to stop smoking for a while and see what was up. I stopped smoking last Tuesday and noticed that I got a lot better. From Tuesday night til Sunday night I was functioning normally, no more panic attacks or uncommon anxiety (I’ve had minor anxiety my whole life, but nothing that had really affected me).

Anyways, my dumb ass decided to take ecstacy last night. I took a pink pussycat and a little later was on the verge of a panic attack again. It was so bad, I asked my mom to sleep with me (I’m a 23 year old woman!) then noticed the insomnia too. At first I thought it was her snoring, so I went to the living room to try to sleep on the couch, but the filter of the fish tank didn’t let me sleep either. I kicked her out of my room, but still couldn’t sleep. Took 3 all natural stress relief pills and nothing. My mom finally had to give me Tylenol PMs to help me knock out.

I thought I’d wake up this morning feeling like my normal self again, but I still feel as though I’m going through a panic attack. Still can’t be in the living room cos the fish tank filter makes me really nervous and my anxiety is THROUGH THE ROOF. How long is this going to last? What can I do to relieve it?

I feel I’m going insane.

I should mention that I had a coke problem for about 5 years prior to this. That might be the reason for the attacks, although 97% of the time I feel it’s triggered by use of other drugs (cannabis, E). What’s going on with me? Anyone?

First off do not listen to the other answerers. Whoever that essentia chick is apparently doesn’t study pharmacology, so she has no need to even comment. Ecstacy cannot be in your system for up to a week, it doesn’t attach itself you your fat cells like marijuana does. As a matter of fact every twelve hours after consumption 50 percent dissipates. So in turn it would go from 100 – 50 – 25 – 12.5 – 6.25 – you catch my drift. In 48 hours there is approximately 1 percent in your blood. Undetectable to most drug tests.

Second these attacks are not due to ecstacy. Nor marijuana. This is definitely an effect that (you said you’ve always had minor) has been heightened since your use of cocaine.

See ecstacy works by causing your brain to secrete a large amount of the neurotransmitter serotonin (1 of 3 chemicals that directly attributes mood). While blocking reabsorption of tryptophan for up to a week (maybe that’s what essentia got mixed up). Typtophan is the first precursor to serotonin, it works in the way that tryptophan is converted into 5 – htp then into serotonin. So without being able to reabsorb and convert tryptophan your serotonin levels are low for a little bit. This is not permanent and you cannot overdose on ecstacy.

What it sounds like is either your ecstacy was cut with coke, or caffiene, or amphetamine, or any kind of stimulant possible. Most people don’t understand that ecstacy pills you get may be say… 150 mg, but thats probably 60 – 80 mg of just pill binder, and 0 – 20 mg of pure ecstacy aka. mdma (3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine). So many different combinations of other chemicals are passed off as ecstacy because there are maybe a handful of people who have ever used pure mdma.

Cocaine works by literally blockading your serotonergic process, dopaminergic process, AND noreprinephrine. These are the three most important chemicals as far as mood, anxiety, etc. So I’m sure you can see that abusing cocaine can cause a detrimental lessening or imbalance of one or all three of these chemical processes. You may need to actually admit this to your family physician, and see a specialist who can run tests to see what your chemical levels are, and then direct you as to what supplements (note supplement not prescription medication), will help rebalance this.

Supplements and vitamins can heal depression,anxiety, chemical imbalances of any kind much better and safer than prescription meds. Hope this sheds some light. And you are not going insane, don’t stress it, I am actuall 99 percent positive this is just an imbalance that requires the proper supplements to get you back in perfect balance. Good luck! And if you need lists of supplements and vitamins that specific drugs affect just send me an email.

Currently I’m in college working towards my bachelors in web development, but I’m going back for my degree in business and pharmacology, and THEN more in the medical field even yet lol. Never hurts to have broad opportunities at career shifts.

im having like a panic emotional attack i need a way to relax and relief myself like a kinda stress reliever i dont want to go in details for why im feeling this way its not the right place to do it maybe even like counselors or therapy online if you know of any thing that can help and also i dont have no cash im a student and a mother so all my cash always flies to my son and books! please and thank you
i forgot to mention i get this often so for that reason im looking for a stress reliever or something to get my mind straight!

Call a friend and talk about how your feeling… it always helps to talk to someone.

If thats not an option, try lying down for a while, close your eyes and take deep breaths, try and clear your mind of all the bad things that are worrying you.

Take deep breaths in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.

concentrating on something always takes your mind away from worries, is there something needing done, maybe you have been meaning to clean out a wardrobe or organise your files… anything that takes your mind off things and keeps you focused.

hope this helps… best of luck

when the panic attack is over, you feel so much relief and wonder why you felt so panicky.

but when I’m in the middle of a panic attack, it seems like no matter how hard I try I can’t recall those feelings of happiness, it just feels like I’m frozen in time.

That is just what a panic attack does. You are extremely panicked for the duration of the attack. I even know I’m being irrational when I’m having a panic attack, but that doesn’t make me feel any safer.

I do not feel relief after a panic attack, though. It takes me forever to wind down and I am still very anxious and worried. I guess I’m happy to be alive, but I just hate myself for being so irrational. I almost feel like it is a weakness, even though I know it is a medical issue.

I’ve never experienced a worse feeling than during my panic attacks. And no matter how many I have them, I can’t imagine I will ever get used to them. Panic attacks just suck.
