5 hour panic attack

[Jgirl-73]

I've been awake since 3 am with insomnia which morphed into panic. Xanax didn't touch it. I'm calling Monday to see about going back on a ssri but anyone have any tips on getting through this weekend. I took two .25 mg. of Xanax. Is that too little or too much?

I used to take 3mg, just to go to sleep...
If you can't (shut your mind off) then try adding in a benedryl (yes, its safe) to your bedtime...
Sometimes an anti-histamine will help out considerably..
Yes, please,..get back on an ssri Monday! Start out low dose..and keep us updated.

Have a good day friend...
