New to This but really NEED HELP

[Leighb]

Hi Guys,

Im hoping this forum will help me.... A few months ago i had my first panic attack. I was at work and felt dizzy, and thought i was going to faint. I then laid down on the work couch and the started to panic. An ambo was called went to hospital and they put it down to low blood pressure, but then i went into panic.

I had a miled one, when i went into the shopping centre. I got out of there as quick as i could took a zanax and got over it very quickly.

My last one was on TUESDay, now this one has knocked me about. I was driving after getting some medical test, whilst driving i kept thinking about it, i had no xanax, ending up pulling over into a church (desparate hoping someone could help me). No one there of course. My husband then came and got me, i was hyperventilating, dry reaching. Made him take me to hospital... Of course i didnt get much help there. Just said i was having a panic attack, i was still dry reaching, crying they gave me a valium and sent me home.

That was 3 days ago, since then i still feel very nervous, feel sick in my stomach, on edge, cant seem to do anything, extremely tired ( i feel if i sleep i escape) I wake up with my heart racing.

I cant get into see my Gp till Monday, and phycologist still Monday. I take avanz 45 mg every night, and xanax as needed. At the moment im taking one xanax as soon as i wake up. Then half at lunch and another half about 4.

I have 2 girls that are aware of whats going on, but im trying to keep it together, for them. But its extremely hard.

I dont have any family to rely on so this is also hard.

I havent been out since the tuesday it occured.

Prior to this i was doing well. My Phycologist was happy, but i just could do the exposure excercises, which he wanted my to bring on an attack, by trying to hypoventilate. But if tuesday was any indication, i just cant to it.

Im still having after effects 3 days later.

PLEASE I BEGGING for some help some TIPS anything THEY MAY have worked for you guys.

IM DESPERATE for any help programmes anything.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE xxxxxxxxx

Well since you'll be getting into a doc. By Monday and I don't think that there is a big chance of addiction to Xanax in this amount of time maybebjust stay strong till Monday. I also find that aroma therapy and a warm bath help. Try listening to ocean sounds or rain. Go to rainy mood.com.
