Okay so when I posted this I was actually in the waiting room and I started to feel better so I left. LOL. Hopefully no 5 hour hospital visits today just to go home with papers that tell you how to deal with anxiety!

I woke up and had a very strange and intense dissociative attack. I kept leaving my body and then re-entering it every 10 to 15 seconds. I don't remember much except for running around the house grabbing clothes and screaming about how I was dying, you know, just an average thursday. I'm left disheartened by this because I'm starting a new job soon and I can't even imagine what will happen if this happens at work. I would like to not run around my workplace screaming that I'm dying. Preferably..

I have asthma so once in a blue moon I have to go on steroids and the only ones I can take r medrol dose pack which is a 5 day plan where you take 4 mg 5 diff times day 1 ,and every day after one less up to day 5.Once on a reg dosage I wanted to die, got extremely depressed and anxious. Will not take those.It took a lot of trys but I am on Xanax from reg Doc ( after many tries) due to my generalized anxiety. My deceased brother had terrible hallucinations while on steroids for kidney failure that he had to go to ER too.I also found I can't handle decongestants for the same reason

We sometimes forget that those warnings about medication side effects can and do happen.

I hope you are feeling better now :)

Don’t feel bad I had one last week that cause me to run and knock on neighbors doors.. who I never even talked to before can you say embarrassing..

I just want to clarify for everyone that I wasn't on steroids when this happened.. I was saying that the panic attack was 'on steroids', like it was extra intense. So it wasn't a medication side effect. I kind of wish it was, that way I'd have some sort of explanation for how bad it was.

Not what you're looking for?
