And just when I thought it couldn’t get worse I had a panic attack today and rushed myself to the hospital because I literally felt numb and lifeless.Turns out it was just another attack.I think this is due to the fact that I worry so much all the time about my anxiety because it’s been 12 years and am totally fed up now.
Does anyone here takes Xanax I was given that today how does it make you feel.
Justcallme, out of all the antianxiety drugs out there, Xanax will work and work quickly.
It should always be supervised under your current physician. I'm assuming you got it from the ER
I'm sorry you had to experience that panic attack. They are frightening for sure. Glad you are okay.xx
Yes I got it from my doctor today am a start it tonight.They said I should take it at nights to health calm me down because am anxious daily.They also referred a a therapist so am a see how that goes....
Justcallme, seeing a therapist is a good idea when you start medication, since you probably won't be on that too long. Therapy plays a big part in getting to the root of your fears and teaching you how to cope with daily anxiety. You should sleep well tonight. May feel a little groggy at first but your body will adjust to the medication and dose. Good Luck with therapy and remember the medication is just a band aid effect until you get your anxiety reduced. Stay Positive. We care xx
Thank you so much for your concern will tell you how it goes...
Sorry you had to go through that. They are scary, let alone to have to go through that alone.
Don't know anything about the Xanax, sorry. I hope you feel better.
Thanks for your kind words
I know people that take Xanax. I took one only once and it was way too much for me. I couldn’t handle it. My mom takes one every night at bedtime. Her doctor said she has too because when she is asleep she can’t fight off the anxiety like when she’s awake and it’s very hard on her heart. My mom in law takes them though twice as much as prescribed and is very addicted to them. They are normally for immediate use and not prescribed for real long term use in the US. Most people like them and they are very addictive. I don’t think the way it makes you feel will be a problem. Just be very cautious driving until you know. They are sedatives and make you tired. I hope you find relief. That was scary I’m sure.
I will see how it makes me feel hopefully I can get some relief from it as am very exhausted.
Yes but I only take it when I'm about to take myself to the hospital because if I take it I calm down and realize it was just a panick attack as it works well for me.
Ok they told me to take it at night and see how it works.I just want that calming effect for once in my life.I want to get back to my old life .I don’t even feel like am living anymore.
I would do it. It's okay to need help and just get a break. I do have a friend who takes it at night and works for her ( low dose)
Hi. i'm so sorry you had an anxiety attack. I know its tiring and believe me I used to call ambulances frequently and go to the hospital for "chest pains" but in the end I was fine and had nothing. Now I understand myself more that anxiety is playing tricks. I learned that these physical symptoms happen and in a few minutes they go away. When they arise I tell myself to breathe since I sometimes forget to. Splash water on my face. And wait for it to subside. It's pretty scary still to this day but I know not to run to the hospital anymore. I don't take xanax but I do take zoloft. Hasnt really been helping lately .___. anyway I hope you are feeling better now. It's a new day :)! sending hugs your way. We are all in this together. <3
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone .This is the worse thing have ever experience in my life.I have a lot a positive things going on in my lif however am still not happy bcos anxiety controls my whole worldd.....
So tired
Tired
