two years ago i had a small amount of prescription amphetamine (doc thought i had add) this led to my first panic attack. Problem is that the panic symptom has remained, at first i got big rushes of stimulation plus panic a few times a day in response to nothing, then the peaks levelled off into a constant over-stimulated feeling which is extremely uncomfortable, blanks out any feeling, becomes panic whenever i get into a stressful situation.
It seems to me that I have had a sort of kindling/sensitisation experience where the amphetamine has made something in my head hypersensitive.
I am now on lithium, epillim, beta blockers which holds it downs mostly except when i am in a stressful situation. I have a constant tension in my head, and an overstimulated blank feeling.
Would be very grateful for any advice on this sort of case, and what could be done about it. Have had lots of trouble getting any docs to address it, they dont seem to believe that such a thing could happen.
in hope
