Hi folks, sorry for the late response.
I failed to mention the above symptoms were several years ago and I haven't had a full blown panick attack in quite some time, maybe 3 years now. Just bad anxiety here and there, nothing a v can't help mitigate. Mainly I posted this thread just to check if anyone had any scarey incidents, for the sake of comparison.
I had my first panick attack when I was 20 and been dealing with anxiety on and off approaching 30 years now. [Plenty more stories to tell if interested :-)] I've just been plagued with it for some reason, but that's not to say it controlled my life by any means. Matter of fact when young, personally, anxiety was never something that slowed me down or affected me to the point I couldn't be a normal person. Life was good and FUN till reaching the age 33-34- when I had more severe attacks, like the one listed above. lotsa exciting times before then and I guess bad times too but that's life, nothing to complain about. Had quiet a bit of bad panick attacks growing up but I dealt with them or sometimes had to go the ER not know what the heck was happening to me. They'd tell me not to drink caffien or eat less sugur and I went on my merry way. Maybe drank a beer or 6 feeling better knowing the symptoms were'nt a heart condition or something worse.
I've been through the medical system long enough to know what works.. for me. As per my Doc and Psychiatrist recommendations>> 10mg per evening. No deviation from protocol, unless anxiety approaches intolerable levels, then slightly up dosage till symptoms go away. This has worked for me for the last decade. I was prescribed other Psychotropics in the past, to no avail......
Thanks for the responses all!
Take care.
