Alot going on need peace

[PanicMom5]

2 months panicked, 3 months ago started a new job. I am the bread winner of this large family of 7. Any ways due to my condition and me missing work with dr excuses, I was demoted but still performing the same work. Jan. 2nd my 2 year old burned his foot on his birthday. So bad he might need a skin graph surgery, he is so uncomfortable doesn't sleep but for 3-4 hours at night. Last night he fell asleep at 11:30 and woke up at 3am. I have been up since, so I take a klonopin insert burning on my face, no rash just feels extremely hot and its hard to swallow. I can feel the panic strike my body in a waves at a time, and have the need to use the restroom. Why on earth am I feeling like this. I need strength for my children! I need peace!

Hi PanicMom5. I hope things are going a little better for you. This site has been helpful for me. I hope you have the same experience and find some peace.

I'm so sorry about your son's injury. I hope your husband can help you take care of the kids, since you are under a lot of strain now. Of course you need peace, and you deserve it! Try the best you can to relax (I know it's not easy right now) and give your nerves a chance to recover. Right now you're upset because you're upset, and that only strains your nerves more. Try some deep breathing for starters, and maybe lie down for a few minutes when you get the chance.

How many milligrams of Klonopin did you take? Is this the first time that you took it?Sounds more like symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks rather than from the klonopin but I would speak to you doctor. With our disease we tend to exacerbate every like symptom and magnify it to be 100x worse. I have taken small doses of Klonopin .25 to .5 mg for anxiety and have had theses symptoms before but the doc said its most likely symptoms of the anxiety rather then the meds. But this was in my case so again talk with your doc... Good luck and hope all works out for you.

I have been on klonopin for over 10 years. .5 as needed but I take it at night and a .25 I took yesterday for any onset of panic attacks. I had the facial flushing 2 hours after I took it and this has happened to me before. I will talk to my dr but I do not want to take anything else because I suffered from horrible symptoms when they adjusted and tried different medicine. Thank you for replying!
