Okay. I know it sounds weird. I was diagnosed with panic disorder but looking back on my case, doctors think they misdiagnosed me. Here are my symptoms:
-Massive mood swings: from comfortable to angry to sad in about 5 minutes.
-Hearing voices and hallucinations but verbal not physical
-I have these attacks where I get really stressed and I freak out and then I act like the things above.

Weird. I only hear voices or get massive mood swings when I am having my "panic attacks".

3 months ago I went to hospital after having a nervous breakdown. I was later told that it was mainly do to my lifestyle i was living( drinking, smoking dope, working night shoots) After this incident I was left with frequent anxiety attacks.

The Dr’s I used perscibed me on pur bloka tablets( which apparently control addrenaline), and Espirade Capsules( which is an anti psychotic). After six weeks I was perscribed Cipramil to treat my anxiety.
During the course of my anxiety attacks I never once had depression. I may have been down for having anxiety issues but thats all. Now 3 months later I’m left with major depression. I don’t find myself interested in activities which I once did. I feel totally un-attached from the environment around me, I find it difficult to get out of bed too. It just feels like i’m a walking zombie which has no enthusiasm for life.
Could the medication which was perscribed for my anxiety have caused me to become depressed? Please Help anyon

I worry way too much for my own good. Is this normal? Or is it something that needs to be treated?

I have an anxiety disorder in which i take citalopram and budeprion daily. I also take diazepam when i have panic attacks. I used to have panic attacks several times a month but since i have been taking this medicine it has cut down a lot. Now they rarely come… except for that last few weeks. I have experienced a rise in panic attacks lately and am concerned. So please answer this question if you know the answer…. can excessive panic attacks be a sign of something worse. Or am i just giving myself more anxiety by thinking like this?

I woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare and had sharp pain in my stomach and around my chest. I didn’t think anything of it, and spent the rest of the night laying on my back. When I awoke hours later, the pain was still very crampy and spots on my chest were cramping on-and-off (it was up towards the top of the chest and in between my left side and left shoulder). I got up, started getting ready and the pain was gone. The pain on my stomach is right below the center of my sternum. After a mere seconds (no more than a minute), the chest cramps disappeared and I felt fine. I still am having on-and-off stomach pain in that same spot since, but nothing as bad as it was in the middle of the night. I was recently treated with having anxiety attacks and was prescribed with hydroxyzine (10mg) and take levothyroxine (88mcg) for my hypothyroidism. I missed my morning dose of hydroxyzine the day before. Any ideas on if this is just a case of anxiety or could it be heart-related?
I am a 24-year-old male. I am not obese and work as a server, so I’m constantly on my feet. I had an EKG and chest x-ray done about two months ago…came back fine. My doc prescribed me the hydroxyzine and told me to slowly take myself off it, which I’ve been trying to do.

We have undergone a huge amount of stress this year a long with owning a business, having a baby, losing a job, almost eviction, utilities being shut off, vehicles breaking down, vehicle repo, as well as dealing with anxiety disorter,PTSD, and manic depression. My husband is an awesome guy and only the last 3 years has he started having bad moodswings 2 have turn out violent where I have been left with a black eye and bruises. He had a lot of abuse from his sister beating him as a child and we think that could be the cause. We have no money to get counseling, but he wants to get help now! He is having a hard time dealing with the fact he hit me, and i am concerned for him. He comes from a family that never faught around him a day in his life. He never heard his parents or family argue once. The only problem was his sister. 1 week ago he blacked out, yes we were both drinking, and he thought I got on top of him and started hitting him which I didn’t, and he got very violent and I had to run out of my house. The next morning he did not even remember or know what he did untill someone told him, he just thought I left him for no reason. He said he never wants to drink ever again and hasn’t, wants to get counseling and see if he needs medication as well. I want to stand by him and support him but a little afraid he might do it again but worse. On the otherhand he is ill and needs help and I do not want to turn away from that. He has never showed any violent behavior towards his son what so ever. He is the best Dad in the world,and loves me with all of his heart, he wants to leave me because he is afraid this might happen again even after treatment. Please help, what do I do, should I stick around if he really gets the help he needs, or should I leave him anyway?

I also sweat a lot on the forehead and can’t seem to stop sweating till the event has passed. Then, I feel drained out and depressed and I know I can perform well but simply lose my nerve. I’ve tried positive affirmations, facing-my-fears, etc. but feel that I need to try homeopathy now. Any help?

prety much i’m taking a debate class and i conveniently didnt know that i have stage fright i have like panic attacks and its really embarressing (sp)
please help!

Can social anxiety disorder be treated? I’ve just been diagnosed with having this disorder, but have not really been given a solution to take me forward from the diagnosis. Has anyone successfully beaten the anxiety attacks? I’m a 38 year old male if that’s any help.

I have 5 or 6 panic attacks a DAY MEDS DO NOT HELP anyone got any sugestions?

I mean I’m the only one in my family that has this disorder so far. I get really worried which I know I shouldn’t but I think is it possible for my daughter to get this.I look at her and pray and hope that she doesn’t get it so I was just wondering. I also want to have more kids but scared that they will get this.

I can’t go to the gynocologist. Every time I try to I go into a horrible panic attack. I know she’s not going to hurt me, I know it needs to be done for health reasons…I just can’t do it. I start crying and freaking out and I can’t breathe and I just feel like I’m about to die. It’s horrible. I’m 21, almost 22, so I’m long past due for all sorts of tests. I’m still a virgin, so at least I’m STD free(thank you hatred of my body, you keep my disease free)..and the gyno knows that I was molested as a child and she’s said that she won’t do anything until I’m okay with it…but I don’t think I’ll ever be okay with it. And when it comes to the topic of sex, I either think feel like I should just sleep with someone I’ll never see again to get it over with or that I’ll never do it. I’m going to be a virgin forever because I’m so fucked up. I need help. But I can’t afford a psychiatrist. So yeah, how can I stop the panic attacks without medication…because my mom thinks they’re nonexistent.

I tryed St john’s wort, but stop taking it cuzI was going to try lexapro. So i did not see if it worked, cuz i know it takes 6 weeks to notice anything!!! I take a B-complex, and i know that helps with stress. Lexapro, is making my sinus worst, so i’m stopping it!! But, anyone who knows of anything, holla!!! Thanks

I have effexor and xanax for chronic depression and panic attacks but it is not enough. Adding marijuana also works best; would I be a candidate for medicinal marijuana?

Which of these 3 medications is most effective in treating anxiety and panic attacks?

I’m talking about IMMEDIATE treatment (along with over a period of time).

Vistaril 50mg
Zoloft 50mg or 100mg
Prozac 20mg

(a follow up to my previous question, in case you answered it)

Thank you for your info!!!

I have been seeing my nurse for a while now and i have learnt from her that i have bad emotional problems which means in the past i have pushed people away who have tried to help because i didn’t believe anyone would want to help me and in the past i have opened up to someone but i got so desperate for love that they ended up hating me. Then i hit rock bottom and had a breakdown and accept that i couldn’t do this on my own and went back to the nurse. For 3 weeks i have been seeing her weekly and she has been doing basic therapy with me which isn’t her job. This week she told me that she could no longer help me with the therapy but would still see me weekly and deal with the anxiety instead. I am feeling gutted, i don’t understand what i did wrong? Maybe i opened up too much but she asked me to and that was part of the work we were doing. 3 weeks ago when i first started seeing her i was so positive about things which is the first time this year and i could see and wanted myself to get better. I knew she wouldn’t be around forever but i thought she would of stayed around a bit longer than this. I really don’t know what to think. Last night i started getting nightmares because of what happened last time i opened up to someone and this feels like the same. With the other person i knew what i did wrong and i was sorry but at the end of the day i just wanted them to care for me and help me. I feel like giving up now, i have been suicidal in he past and i don’t want to go back to the place in my life, i thought i was getting over it but she has just proved that i shouldn’t open up as people end up hating me. I don’t have family i can talk to and my friends don’t understand what i am going through so i don’t talk to them either.

Im 17, and shouldn’t be having these sort of attacks. It all started with a conversATION I had with my BF. He said some hurtful things after I had made him MY EVERYTHING. I have given him my whole heart and my LIFE. I shouldn’t have, but he said because I seek attention from others to build a self esteem, he cannot love me. I spoke to a trusted adult and said it is normal for a young lady to pay attention to those sorts of things such as "how many guys check me out" and how many girls look at me dirty because they’re jealous. Anyhow, I told him how I felt, plus I asked wat was going on with him because he was turning cold towards me..he said "hes gradually losing motivation, hes turned off, and he cant love me if I don’t love me, and told me to GET A LIFE." which is wat caused this lack of air. I felt as if my world was torn up and I didn’t have anything left. I woke my parents up and asked them to take me to the hospital…they didn’t. I dunno how to treat this…help

I have anxiety disorder which causes me to have panic attacks and I am trying to conceive.. So I was wondering if I had panic attacks while I am pregnant if it could hurt the baby?

I have been having really bad panic attacks lately and I don’t know if any of you have them but it feels as if I am going crazy and the panic attacks are horrible. I have visited my doctor and was prescribed xanax and I have took it but my prescription is now gone. Any help would be appreciated. This has been going on for about two weeks and when I think about how I have been feeling lately it makes me want to cry. What can I do to get rid of the panic attacks? Please help. It would be appreciated.
