I've been suffering from a Panic Disorder for the last two years.
I usually have a panic attack when I leave the house, especially
when I go to a shopping mall or around alot of people. When I'm
having a panic attack, I start feeling nervous, my heart starts
pounding and I start feeling nauseated. The first thing I do when
I walk into a store, ect..., is look for the bathrooms, then I
slowly start feeling better. My panic attacks usually last a few
minutes but it feels like they last a very long time. I've spoken
with a few different people who also experience panic attacks and
so far, no one's ever experienced the symptom of nausea, most say
that they usually feel faint, dizzy or hyperventilate. For the
four weeks, I've been taking Effexor XR and when I need to go some
place, I usually take half a clonazepam. I've noticed a change
during the last few weeks so I'm assuming that the medication is
working. The thing I want to know is if anyone else experiences
nausea during a panic attack, is this a normal thing or should I
be worried that it's something else? If anyone has any advice or
a similar story to tell, please let me know, I'd really like to
know if there are others that are going through the same thing as
I am.Thanks again,
MaKi
