The quick story about me. First attack, Oct 26 2010. 5 months of on and off hell. Hell is a nice way to describe it. All the cardio phobia you can think of, I had. Always afraid of dying. The full...
It's been a while since I posted, I read and comment on occasion but normally don't add anything unless I got something to say. Well, I got something. I haven't had a full blown attack in a few...
I've been on Paxil for 2 and a half weeks and have had no real side effects from it. I was on Zoloft before that and hated it. Headaches, digestive issues etc. I have klonopin as well and only half...
I'm on paxil and clonazepam. Can either of those cause your pupils to dialate?...
I also believe that my anxiety has nothing to do with my job. I actually work for a great group of people and where I'm assigned is a cake walk actually. The host country though is stressful to get...
Good luck....I hope it works out for you....
Thx, I appreciate you sentiment. I don'y know how to add an image so I just cut a photo. This is me....
My name is Richard. I'm 34 and this all started for me at the gym Oct 26th 2010. I was working out and felt a little pull in my left pec. I went into the worst A/P attack ever. I lost my farther when...
I'm on wellbutrin and zoloft. The zoloft worked for a while, then after about 8 weeks I just started to have major general anxiety. I could still go out and function but I couldn't relax for...
A note, for me I got a energy boost/twitch when I took the B-complex. Your urine will be a neon green so don't be alarmed. If you feel twichy after taking one, try cutting the dose in half. Some in...
I have been on zoloft since Nov. I had that period where I was good for a week. It comes and goes in waves. I got real bad general anxiety where I couldn't relax at all. I had to take .25 of xanax...
I really didn't have extra hunger cravings with the zoloft. Actually I lost about 10 lbs. I'm 5'7" 148lbs. I'm a guy so that should put it in context. So far the wellbutrin just seems to keep me...
I have recently been put on wellbutrin. 150mg daily. I still take 50mg of zoloft as well. I was getting to the point where I wasn't getting attacks, just a general anxiety. I could still do my job...
I was curious about your chest pains. I get them too. My heart rate at rest is in the low 60's my bp is low 130's over mid 80's. I justed started to take wellbutrin on top of my zoloft. Can you...
Pink wow, I have never heard the way I feel discribed so perfectly. You really hit the nail on the head. I want to thank you for your insight. I think it is because we are so intune with our bodies...
Checking in, All is well on my front. My A/P is down to a very managable level as of late. No big attacks. My palps are almost non existant. My neg thoughts are very quickly dismissed. I hope...
I get them too. It is like a pin point pain on a rib or the muscle. Sound fimillar to anyone?...
I just wanted to share. I'm going through a period of anxiety. Not a P/A level but, a level on par for whats ging on in my life. I'm awaiting some very big news that I should get today. It will...
I come here. I find other people who have or had the same symptoms as me. I posted once while going through a mild attack. I read the posts and what I have written and that seems to help....
Has anyone noticed that with anxiety comes gas and such. Or if you get hungry or what not you feel more anxious till you eat? Sorry, not trying to hijack a thread but I saw what you wrote and got...
thx, That is good advive. I need to remember that....
I posted a thread about this, i was called sleep anxiety....
I like answer questions. Reinforces what I have ben taught. The CBT is AWSOME! I have ben going once a week for 7 weeks. It helps alot to clue you in to your triggers. It does help you think...
I heard abot them here so I decided to give them a try. I did more research after I started to get the nervous enery boosts. I then just stopped taking them....
I stayed off my b complex and I seem to be doing well....
Good job...
It is a start, thx. I still function. I d eveythngandno one really knowstt I'm anxious. It's just my thoughts trying to get the better of me. It's a constant struggle. All day today I tought I was...
Strong, I wish. I was as scard as heck. I just kept tellin myself about all the great test results I had at the doctors and the fact I have been down this road before. I posted before that people...
Hey twg. misery loves company. I got a decent nights sleep last night. It's a start....
Thanks for the input. Are there days in a row where you just can't get right? I have had the catastrophic thinking and it is a constant fight to shoot down all the unrealistic thoughts all the time....
Now this is down right unfair. I woke up last night a few hours before I usually get up and I felt real anxious. It felt like my heart skipped a beat and I had the jitters. It didn't last too long, I...
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this? Did my link help?...
I found this link that talks about b-vitaman complex. http://www.acu-cell.com/bx.html It talks about the nervous energy boost. I'm not a doc or specialist. This is what I found on the web and I have...
Ok, now tat it's the next day, I have had a nervous energy boost. I went for a 2 1/2 mile power walk. Didn't so much as puta dentin my energy level. After my attack yesterday, andthe fact I was able...
I'm calm. I'm still alive. I didn't let my mind run away and take my body with it. That's what happened the first time I had an attack. Now I know what these are. My anxiety stems from a health...
I'm going through an anxiety attack. I'm super cold. Granted it's not the warmest in the house but still. I got the shakes that come with the chills. Not fun . I'm typing while it happens so I can...
I do this too and it isn't silly. There are days where I feel real good and I think, I fee too good. Like somethng is going to happen because I feel so good. Now that sounds stupid. As far as your...
Been there. I had my first attack in late Oct, and now it's almost the middle of Jan and it DOES get better. The first couple of weeks are hell but you will have some small victories in there. Every...
DON'T take SJW with SSRI medications. There are side affects. Check with your doctor before adding herbal supplements....
I was just thinking about this..... It feels like my mind wants to throw up, you know when you realize you might be sick and you kinda will yourself not to do it. That's the way a P/A attack comes on...
Hey I'm right there wit you. I'm 33, my heart had ALL the tests on my heart after my P/A and I was given a clean bill of health. I had minor heart palps last night and I ignord them. At one point I...
I might be able to help. I have had a fear of a heart attack since my very first attack. Long and short of me is a family history of heart disease, I'm a smoker, I used to drink and I worked out...
Guitl causes panic, I know about the smoking, I'm going through it too. You make yourself feel guilty and the you panic about it. That's the short version. Trust me on it. I'm trying to quit smoking...
I don't have the appitie I used too but, I try to eat at my usuall times, maybe not a lot but something so I know I'm getting food. I usually get hungry out of the blue and when I do I try to eat...
I had my FIRST episode while on a tread mill. I'm VERY inpressed with what you did. Outstanding. I have been power walking trying to build back up to running again and this mkight be the motivation I...
I love what you wrote. I feel the exact same way. I've quit drinking, cut back and soon to quit smoking. I exercise and am at a healthy weight. My cholesteral is a little high but I have been eating...
I know how you feel, I do. You have not gone crazy. You will not go crazy. The hallmark of a sane mind is the fear of going insane. How many insane people worry about there sanity? I know about the...
Dose it take anyone else a day or two to get over a major attack? I've been in and out all day. Don't know if it helps to talk about it but I'm going to try. I have been tired and lazy all day, no...
I'm STILL HERE. Anxiety will not win. I'm ok now. That was the worst one. I'd figured I could handle it armed with knowledge, but that was brutal. It didn't kill me, I'm stronger now. Maybe my mind...
Right now, it feels like I'm having a heart attack. I was laying in bed, and I got what I like to call the cold breath. You take a deep breath in and you feel your lungs get tingly. I shot straight...
