Ladies, I have had the worst month of panic attacks EVER! Instead of getting them once a week or maybe once every two weeks. Im getting them nightly. For no real reason that I can tell either. they literally come out of no where.
I've Never had them this bad in my entire life. Although Ive had them for about the last 5 or 6 years. I was treated for them before , however the meds I was on fucked with me . Which is why I'm no longer on them.
Now, Im thinking I have no choice but to seek help. They are cripling. I have them and they arent just the anxious feeling, but they are causing insomnia, vomiting, tunnel vision and I get nervous damn near to the point of paranoia while its happening. Sounds seem amplified and so I end up taking days off of work, I hole up in my apt and sleep seriously 20 hours a day.
Its making it impossible to live sometimes. I feel like a fucking nut job while they are happening . They can last anywhere from 10 minutes or less to 3 or 4 hours. most of the time they happen at night when im attempting to go to sleep , so i stay up till god knows when ( like now its almost 7 am. ) and then the next day Im spent and I cant sleep for shit , and typically i have to call off of work.
Its the holidays and I need to work. :"( this month has been rather bad for me and it doesnt help that im having these fucking panic attacks. Ive tried different ways of relaxing, zoning out, couting backwards... sleep aides that are over the counter, as well diet changes Including caffiene intake.
Nothing is working.
So I plan to see help after the new year when I have some extra cash.
For those that have these and have taken meds, because Im convinced I will require them. what do you feel works the best for you and why?
I've done paxil ..NEVERAGAIN. that shit fucked me up bad! effexor made me shake super bad and raised my blood pressure. xanax worked but made me feel hung over.
Im thinking of taking a combo. A sleep aide like ambien cr ( i use to be on regular ambien ) and a stabalizer. My shit is super bad right now, and when i say its debilitating its an understatement. i have kids, a job and a relationship to maintain as well as my mental health. I think this going untreated will not be a good thing.
I appreciate all suggestions.
Thanks.
