    i used to drink 2 on the half hour drive to work at hooters. now, if i drink one, my anxiety shoots through the roof. i still do sometimes, though, because im trying to get them back in my system.

    tonight wasn't good. i have that acid reflux-y feeling ive talked about before. i felt very on the verge of a panic attack all the time. i wish i would just HAVE the damn attacks instead of always feeling like one was coming.

    I feel paralyzed right now, I can't leave the house. I have to get to work. Oh gawd, fucking gawd. Even my cats are really pissing me off, I need stillness.

    Sign me up for night terrors and the occasional panic attack.

    Night terrors - waking every hour freaked out about something. Most recent attack, not frequent thank god, woke convinced I was gonna jump off the balcony. Curled up in the bathtub, which is as far as I could get from the balcony, and was finally able to sleep again.

    I've had anxiety and panic disorder since I was six years old. I went from paxil to effexor and now I'm having that suplimented with welbutrin ( which by the way DOESN'T effect your sex drive like the others do) Off medication I get two or three hour long attacks with about half hour breaks inbetween from when I wake up until I go to sleep. It sucks.


    The worst one I've had in a while was probably my first night dancing when I got home. My whole body was shuddering because I couldn't handle the transition from the club to my home where my cats and boyfriend were. I couldn't even sleep in the bed that night I had to lie on the couch.

    I went to the doctor today because I coudn't wait til Monday. A girl I know committed suicide last night and I feel like if I don't get help that could be me... scary. So he gave me a script for celexa, which I've taken before and it worked wonders. I feel kinda weak willed or something for needing the meds. I'm also nervous about taking that first dose, because I remember being sick to my stomach for the first week or so. But I think I'd rather feel like crap for a week than feel like this for the rest of my life!!!

    Pamela--I think you said your daughter is on celexa. If so, what's her dose and what are her side effects like? I think I remember the stomachache and extreme sweatiness from my experience, but I might be confusing it with the time I took buspar...

    Her bottle is in her purse with her. She's been on it a week? Or close now. No side effects for her! I was on it once as well. It made my mouth dry for a short time and that went away. Hope you do well.
    PS she is a tiny thing...i was there with her i think he put her on the lowest once daily and he will up it if needed. 10mg once daily i think...That's a guess.

    meh... having a really bad day. had a photo shoot this morning and was feeling a little anxious during it but it passed, and it was fun. then i got home and decided to take a nap on the couch.

    i'd only been asleep for 20 mins max when i awoke suddenly in the middle of a severe attack, feeling almost paralysed with fear and i was hit with such an intense wave of nausea that i actually thought i was gonna vomit. i've never woken up in a panic attack before. but for some reason it happened today, and i woke up with the thought in my head, "oh my god. i'm pregnant." so i ran straight to the pharmacy, and i've taken three tests, and all said negative so i'm pretty sure i'm not pregnant.

    it was so fucking weird... i have no idea where that thought came from (especially considering i've had my period since i last had sex) but i was in sheer terror and almost went and sat next to the toilet cos i thought i was about to vomit any second.

    now i feel shakey and nauseas and horrible. don't wanna work tonight

    I forgot to add I have acid reflux and for some reason every time I have heartburn I panic. Does that happen to anyone else?

    Sure. With stomache acids pushing up it can get tough to get proper air at times. People who have asthma and get Acid Reflux often have an asthma attack.

    Many can burp and bring some of that crap up, spit it out.

    ^ for me personally, i feel like i have icy hot in my throat. when i breathe in, it isnt exactly painful but it's uncomfortable. right where my throat meets my chest. but i think what i have, that's caused by anxiety, is different than typical acid reflux.

    hmm, okay. cos my anxiety gives me this weird hot tingly feeling in my throat/chest sometimes, and i can't swallow properly and i have to take lots of deep breaths. does that sound like acid reflux?

    Mine starts in my stomach with a kind of tingly burning sensation and then slowly rises up my esophagus. I've had it so bad that I took a whole thing of tums( not the big container the roll), and had ice all over my chest and I HATE the cold. It's much better now though.

    For me, acid reflux feels like acid...burning acid coming up from my stomach and settling into my chest and throat. Taking a Prilosec, eating something with carbs(like a piece of bread) to soak up the acid and drinking COLD water(NOT milk..people used to drink milk because it coated and made them feel better, but it ultimately makes it worse because milk has lactic ACID in it) makes it better.

    I've had something like this before the burpy/acid feeling starts. I take some Pepcid or eat some icecream (I know it's milk, but in small doses I feel better)

    Sometimes when the acid is really bad..I make myself throw up. Bad I know...but it feels SO much better to get all that churning acid out of my system

    I took 10mg celexa last night for the first time in a year... it felt kinda like I was rolling. But this morning I felt fine, if not a little bit spacey and tired. I really think it was smart of me to go to the doctor! Given all I've been going through, I just want relief. And on a positive note, generic celexa is $4 at wal-mart and my doctor's visit for same day care was only $60!
