Anyone here suffer panic/anxiety attacks?

[Mowgli]

[Mask and Da Glock]

no you just overcompensate by being a holier-than-thou fakkit

Yeah, you are right about that when i was in high school they would throw everything at me BESIDES benzos. When i got to college i saw the psychiatrist on campus and the first visit i walked away with a klonopin prescription. It is tough because if you persist she'll think you just want the drugs. Have you tried suggesting it? They do take your thoughts into account. My only other suggestion is to find another psychiatrist that takes your insurance and let them now you've dealt with psychiatrists that gave you meds that didn't help and they'll piece together the rest. Usually state hospitals are the most lax with prescribing drugs.


Also: tell her you don't feel comfortable taking a medicine for bi-polarism/depression (what she gave you) for anxiety and you don't want to have the potential side effects. I dunno...most important thing is to be blatantly honest (besides drug use if you use drugs).

When it happened to me I got prescribed xanax and klonopin (two diff psychiatrist) w/ no hesitancy. As far as that zoloft ant-depressant med, I got prescribed those too, I took one pill and me and my pops didnt think it was a good idea so I threw those away.

yeah i made a thread about this on sohh and a lot of u thought it was funny

but yeah this shyt is probably the one of the worst feelings anyone could go through, and omce u get em and know that they exist its hard to forget about em. i dont get them anymore, the main thing that used to give em to me was smoking weed, then i even started getting em after that.

i just did a lot of research on it and really toughend up mentally, dont let that shyt turn in to a monster cuz it will destory u. i didnt wanna rely on meds for something that i created so i fought it everyday, worst part is the symptoms that come with it, i was getting chills, woke up in cold sweats, dizzy and always felt like i was gonna have a heart attack.

believe it or not vinny from jersey shore suffers from it too and actually put out a self help book about it, its cool to read because it from a normal person not some doctor or some shyt.

but yeah ive conquered it breh, hope u do too shyt sucks.

I used to have this problem before honestly Nothing wrong with it, its actually a chemical imbalance. It used to affect my sleep.

I controlled it through exercise and drinking more water honestly, and I haven't had a panic attack in a few years


Sounds stupid but hey it worked for me.

 

[Mask and Da Glock]

True meds shouldn't be an end all be all, I just took a course on physical fitness in relation to mental health it's not stupid breh it's science.

yeah man u dont really wanna go down the med route unless u really need too. i heard them shyts are higly addictive, and its an easy way out rather than treating any underlying issue.

many ppl claim to beat it u have to embrace it, but that shyts hard as hell because at the moment u feel like ur gonna die, but yeah when it comes try to embrace it.

thats damn true, i was smoking weed everyday and eating a horrible diet before this came on, ever since i been real careful with a lot of things, only drinking water and eating good. its kind of a wake up call.

 

[Red Omega]

only time i ever get em now a little is after a heavy night of drinking ill wake up the next day and my nerves will be all fukked up.

 

[Listen]

Not much worse than that feeling.

I only had one full on one, but it was enough to pull me off the road and getting driven to the ER before I died (all in my head of course).

Life and stress are a sonnofabytch.

I feel them coming on, where my breathe gets all weird and I feel woozy and I notice it and before I go into full freakout mode, I accept whats about to happen, laugh at myself in my head, call my self crazy and take a few slow deep breathes and back the fukk off it.

One thing to remember. Anyone who tells you you don't need meds or therapy, take it into account...but that's THEM. They don't even know if it worked for them (no offense to anyone seriously, you should explore all options) because who knows if it will come back. No one thing is the right answer, basically. People will argue against psych meds forever like they're tom cruise motherfukkers and think big pharma is trying to placate the human race or some shyt...do your research and decide for yourself.

I don't get the really bad ones where I think I'm going to die, I have however gotten extremely anxious and had a bunch of negative self talk. It's no bueno but I'm on happy pills now and that seems to be working, I haven't had any murderous rages recently
