Hi Everyone
I’m very relieved to have found this sight.
Now I know I am not alone. First
I’ll just say something about my disorder.
12 year ago while out drinking with friend I had quite a lot of alcohol
and then also , a then new drink, redbull and vodka. I only had 2 but we drank and partied till
the early morning hours as one does in you 20’s. The next morning I woke up with a major
thirst and to a sip of the first thing I could find, some redbull. We went out for brunch and I ordered a filter
coffee took a couple of sips and then it all came crashing down around me. I didn’t know what hit me. That was the beginning of my disorder. I had about 10 attacks every day, slept most
of the day. Was car sick, motion sick
all things I had never experienced before.
I saw many doctors didn’t know what I was on about until about 6 month
later I spoke to a friend who said his sister had a similar experience and had
to go on anti-depressants. Well I saw someone that put me on Prozac and I
have been on it ever since. I got better
after 6 weeks of side effects of prozec and have been great ever since. I am also on Eltroxin for my thyroid. These are the only two meds I ever take. I soon found out that touching any stimulants
was a big No No. I don’t drink alcohol,
coffee, take only caffeine free tea. I
don’t use any meds besides antibiotics when really needed. But lately in the country I live in at the
moment I was not able to find my Eltroxin so was given another similar product
but after 5 days of using it I had my first full blown panic attack in 10
years. I didn’t use the meds again and
felt better day by day but tonight (3 days after stopping the other meds) I took
a half dose of my regular eltroxin and had bouts of panic attacks. Now I don’t know what to do. Do I not
drink it for a while? Up my anti depressants? Take my meds as I was used to and hope it all
returns to nomal? There is no one here that has the expertise to help me. Can anyone help me? I can’t go down that debilitating road
again. I need to sort this out.
