I'm having a panic attack

Posted by rjlockhart on August 2, 2007, at 22:21:26

Im too still to type, im so still everything, if something moves im going to flip.

I'm very psyhed that im getting tolerant to xanax, this feeling of dread and fear for no reason plagues me.

I take 2mg of Xanax and i pray to god right now that i will not be tolerant to it.

I hate these but i was just sitting on the computer researching Strattera and someother stuff and............graduly I froze, like you that feeling where you know some bad is going to happen, like bad news that you wife has been in a car accident. Thats what im feeling, and my thought patterns are flucating because i dont know how to handle what im going to do. There is so much sh*t i have planned, i dont go out with my friends anymore, im getting isolated again. Im worried about many things, and they all have hit me at once. My eyes are so big and almost red because of fear.

Im breathing hard, not sufficating, but rapid breaths, adrenaline has filled me.

I need to talk to my doctor, or something its not an emerency, im just feeling that feeling.

I rarely have panic attacks but when they come, well i take xanax often just for anxiety but now im concerned it wont help a panic attack.

Please if you post can you bring some references before when i used to have these, because i had posted similar posts like this in the past around 2005.

Im going to take a shower.

Ok i just took my medication.

Its better, it was a panic attack that lasted for about 30min? i mean what i posted was what i ment i was thinking in my mind.

I dont know if strattera started this off, because i have had epiodes off medications which is why my pdoc put me on antianxiety medications 3 years ago. Klonopin, then Ativan, then High dose of Ativan, in 2005, then back to Klonopin at 6mg, then finally Xanax.

When i have a panic attack you dont understand, i get disordted, disoriented, everything becomes in slow motion, like seeing a drop of water drop from the sink in a slow period. Or hearing devistating news, like something just hits you inside, exactly like someone was in a car accident. Your too nervous to move, you just have to stay still and hold on to something like a chair's handles when your sitting in it, now i dont people to think im crazy here. Being in a state of seeing slow motion, its the mind's way with dealing with anxiety.

I have posted very out there posts, and i know for a fact i thought i was crazy. It goes away its all in your mind, your actually driving yourself crazy, through distored views of reality, how people are treating you, your perception of it.

I dont have a therpist to talk to so i learned now to reason with my self.

I'm weird in that I find the positive in pretty much everything...

The only thing I ever LIKED about having panic attacks is that the sleep afterwards was awesome. Once the Xanax kicked in and I came down off the adrenaline, I slept like a log.
