I am feeling pretty low right now. After my daughter was born 6 years ago I had HORRIBLE panic attacks to the point where almost every single one would had me going to the ER. After getting on a benzo, the attacks seemed to have stopped, and eventually I didn’t need the med anymore. I was very happy because up until yesterday I had been over 4 YEARS without a panic attack. Yesterday out of NOWHERE one struck me like a bolt of lightning, terrifying not only ME but my 6 year old as well. I had some Clonazepam handy just in-case which I took 2 MG’s of and even though I threw up less than 5 minutes after taking them, I seemed to have calmed down enough to take a nap. When I woke up, the medication had worn off and I could feel another attack waiting to happen. I wouldn’t say it was anticipatory anxiety because I was using positive self-talk, but I did need another dose of the benzo. I haven’t taken anything today but I feel the same way as I did yesterday. I had felt COMPLETELY blessed that it had been so many years since my last attack but after yesterday I feel completely defeated. I’ve had anxiety attacks over the last four years, and some pretty bad ones too, but they were NOTHING compared to the PANIC attacks I used to and apparently STILL have. I don’t know if it is me or what, but the benzo doesn’t seem to be working like it should. (It’s not expired.) I’ve tried other anxiety meds in the past but this is the only one that has even slightly helped me. I have an SSRI sensitivity, so any and all anti-depressants or mood stabilizers are out of the question. I could really use any advice, opinions or insight at this point and any positive words would really go a long way right now. Thanks for reading this.
