Anyone Else

I was wondering if there is anyone else who has this weird symptom when i am drowsy or take a medication that causes drowsiness it causes me to have intense panic attacks. This all started when i was a teen locked up in a juvenile facility and they gave me seroquel. now this is an on going thing. I can't take most medications because they cause drowsiness.

yes i am terrified of drugs! i am working with a behavioral therapist to try to get over my fear of drugs, I cannot take anything that causes drowsiness it causes very very intense panic. I am on Effexor XR 37.5 i know it is not a therapeutic dose i have been on this for the last 6 years and cannot manage to increase it. Cant get off it either.
