Mam I use to do the same thing, look at it this way a little weird is better, over time you will learn to deal with the xanax, thats a lot easier than constant anxiety. My only question is was your thinking ok, if so give
yourself the help you so need, Peace.

What coping skills are you doing regularly?

Are you going through any self-help program currently? Do you have any anxiety management books/workbooks/worksheets?

BREATHE !! I have had anxiety and panic attacks about for 8 months, sometimes panic for hours. Lay down and breathe really deep it will make you dizzy but it will help. download a meditation sound track they can teach to you to do it. You heart beat is ok, is the anxiety and believe me it has happened to me for like 5 months straight you won't die. Think of it this way, the worse it can happen is you going to the ER and then getting some sedatives then calming down, nothing else will ever happen.So what you have to do is learn to calm down, or look for strategies to cope. Tell someone you are having a panic/ anxiety attack. It will never be your last moment believe me. Watch a show or something that calms you down, make a place at home that is calm and for you to relax. I put different oil scents to burn to distract my brain from focusing on freaking out. Drink tea preferably decaff. I hug my dog too :/! Try anything that can help you cope. Today I had two panic attacks and I talked to my fiancé to get relaxed.
God help you and your family !!

I know the feeling,you are definitely NOT alone!! Unless I take my Xanax 3-4 times a day, that anxious feeling NEVER goes away. Id describe the feelings as a bunch of little jumping beans jumping around all inside my body and they just wont stop unless I take the medicine. I do not want to be on medication, but that is literally the only thing that makes that jittery feeling subside, then when the meds wear off I need more meds. Not the way I WANT to live, but seems like that's how I HAVE to live right now. It seems like this anxious, lightheadedness, dizziness, shaky ,etc. feelings will ever go away and it does become scary after awhile. Feeling this way brings on the anxiety attacks because after awhile it works me up and I get upset over it and causes the attacks. My actual heart palps started about a year in a half- 2 years ago. Ive always had the racing heart since I was 15 with high anxiety but never the flutters and flip flop feelings. Id say just another physical symptom the anxiety brought along, along with stomach issues and constant headaches and just over fatigue. The feeling of no energy and not wanting to do anything! I cant even drink coffee anymore and that was my favorite thing ever, got me motivated everyday and lifted my mood! I have hope for it to get better someday but we have to live in the moment and deal day by day. Have you seen a therapist? Has your Dr given you any meds? Keep us posted on how you're doing and how you're coping with this, as you know we are all dealing with it too or have dealt with it in the past! Good luck!!
