I withdrew two years ago and it was nightmare. After the birth of my child my panic came back.
I feel people judge me but it works for me i was on it for fourteen years prior. The withdrwal took two months. After my son i had postpartum and anxiety so now i take .1mg of klonopin at night and prozac in the day and i feel hundred percent better. I just feel as if i failed that i needed the klonopin again to deal with my anxiety.
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.

I have heard everything from you are born with it to because you have sinned too much to its from processed foods to its from the hormones in the milk! Why is it so common! If you are going to tell me that it isnt a real disorder, I will beg to differ with you! If you have some helpful info, then I would be greatly appreciative. Has anyone here suffered extreme dibilitating panic, been on meds, and successing found a way to come off? I’m sorry there are sooo many unanswered Q’s here.
Nicole,
Yes I am suffering from panic attacks. Its been close to 4 yrs since the first debilitating one, and they still sneak up quite often. I take 12.5 mg Paxil daily, and am considering Xanax for those debilitating attacks. I believe that my attacks surfaced due to the amount of stress I was under. I was 20 y/o, married w/ a stepson, and just gave birth to my second son, (3 sons total- at that time). My baby was very ill, and was deaf. We were getting ready for him to have cranial surgery. I was very weak from a traumatic birth,(he was born in the car during a thunder storm), and was having to travel 300 miles to the childrens hospital frequently. I lost my pregnancy weight in about 3 weeks. Then the attacks hit me hard. It was a nightmare! I deal with them very well now, but the trembling is unbearable! Thank all of you who have taken the time to leave an answer.
I have had them for 3 months now. My heart beats fast!
I get Panic Attacks and Anxiety attacks about 3 times a day!! I have to take my pills or else i think i may die of a stroke! Help me over come this nightmare. Iam scare to get online because i think it bad for my eyes and mind!! Help
I walk and do my everyday stuff and bam! My body goes numb and feels like ants on my face and body. What can i do?
Ive suffered for 5 year now. I remember my 1st time. I was at the post office with my baby girl who i’d just had 2 month before. Suddenly i thought i was going to die. I went in shock i could hardly move. I thought oh no please dont die here not like this not with my little girl here and then got out. From then on every waking moment has been the same. I know some people say they suffer up to 10 panic attacks a day but mines seem to be constant. I really cant do anything for myself and daughter i have to rely on too many ppl who dont understand or dont want to understand what im going throught. My daughters at school and i take her but its a nightmare. Im so dizzy i can hardly walk. The sensations i feel make me breathless and unable to talk. If it wheren’t for my youngest being in a buggy so i could grab hold of it i dont think id be able to go without colapsing. Ive tried so hard to help myself. Ive worked so hard trying to get rid of my anxiety ive put myself in a state of shock.
