I just had the worst panic attack ever! I just want to get rid of the anxiety already! I’m jumping out of my skin and I don’t know what to do!

I’m not sure how I can get up and get dressed for work and make it through the day today?!

Please help !

Maybe have chamomile tea. Have Tylenol which helps to calm you. Can you possibly go in later to work?

Can I take Tylenol with the Xanax?

Hi I take paxil and use Tylenol. My pharmacist said it's ok

I don't use Tylenol everyday though. I hope you feel better soon

Try to believe you will be ok, anxiety is terrible I had this problem lots of times. That's why I had to take paxil 10 mg. It helps

Maybe I should have my meds changed

Maybe, cause paxil is SSRI and you take everyday but Xanax I think isn't good for everyday. I have lorazepam for certain situations which is like Xanax. I have only 10 of them and keep it in my purse. I haven't used any yet.

The doctor just gave me lexapro

Try to breathe slowly in through your nose & out through your mouth. Sure do hope this is of some help to you! XXX

Hey there! I had the same thing during the night. I honestly think listening to relaxing music really helps. I didn't go to work either today because I'm not feeling good in general but try distracting your mind.
