pani attack thingys

Thanks alot, that's what I thought too but nobody told me they would go away and that i wasn't going to go crazy. Really though thanks for being
so cool and all your help myCHAINisGUCCI. Sorry for being such a dick on my other post. I apoligize. I was just a little freaked from this crap. You know how it is. Because that's what it feels like all day everyday, like there's no point to anything and i can't even sit in the house with my girlfriend an daughter anymore. an i feel like im goin nuts

 

yeah dude i have the same exact thing. everything loses its point. theres no value. alot of dissacociation. but like i said, itll get better. itll never fully go away, but it will get better. sometimes it sucks and it gets real bad, but then other times its not. its kinda cool because it makes you have an apprecation for those times when ur not freaking out. umm benzos usually help. medication helps alot of people with this.

 

Should I take medication for it though? He gave me 1mg Ativans. I'm afraid I will become dependant and/or alot worse. Because thats what made me have them in the first place. Will the feeling of everything having no value eventually go away because that sucks? I don't want to have this.

 

because they said if i don't get treatment it will get alot worse. Is it true I can like eventually go crazy an things possibly if mines real bad?

 

[FONT=&quot]lol. dude ur geeking out. u aren’t going crazy. i sometimes get the same thought in my head and thats what causes the panic attacks and the panic attacks cause the thoughts of insanity. you gotta break the cycle. the no value thing. who gives a fuck man. umm you dont live until you’re ready to die. accept your fate and just chill the fuck out while ur here. ur not doing something right...fix whatever it is and things will get better. sucks for me cuz im addicted to whats causing my anxiety..

you gotta realize. everyone is crazy in their own way. what’s crazy anyway? no one can operationalize that. as long as you can still function in society ur fine. be happy.

sorry to cut this short, but i cant have the convo anymore. its making uncomfortable. ive told you all i can tell you, and now its up to you to work it out. good luck. work your shit out. dont give up. pce.

Will I be able to smoke weed ever again??? I know you said stay sober, but thats shitty. That was my favorite drug along with speed. It's now 9 months later and havn't touched one drug since, quit everything cold turkey, even drinking, and that's pretty crazy, common give it up lol. Not even meds doctors perscribed. Which I am thinking about taking some because some anxiety patients tell me all they had to do was take meds for a few weeks and their anxiety never bugs them again. I'm starting to feel a bit better now, well alot better since 9 months ago, i thought i was going insane. Still do every once in a while, but i'm alot better. I don't wish anxiety on my worst enemy. I've also come to find out anxiety and depression runs in my family on my dads side. Anyway, I've been thinking about weed alot the last couple months!

Do you think i will be able to smoke it in moderation again soon after some meds and relaxing??

What about speed? I have a question your going to say that's out of the question. The doctor said that's what could have caused it in the first place.

 

what about toking?

 

Seroquel is an anti-psychotic...not an anti-anxiety medication if I remember correctly? Why does he have you on Seroquel in the first place?

 

dude sorry i only read your first post, but... IMO

stress and anxiety attacks and crazy shit like you talking about ahpens to normal people, if me and my fams are normal...

Don't blame seroquel, it is a godsend for twacks, it may even save my sanity tonight


yea man staying sober is hard, the only activity I'm really good at with my buddies is snowboarding, and to go anywhere worthwhile is at least 65$ a day (only counting lift ticket), and I can't keep that up, so I fall back, fuck it

 

indeed U4IA....

i have panic disorder and acute anxiety and i've been prescribed lorazepam (ativan) for a good while now, not seroquel. quetiapine (seroquel) IS an anti-psychotic and it basically just knocks you the fuck out. I mean granted, that would take care of your panic attacks for the duration of the sleepy-time that you won't remember, but it won't take care of shit once you come out of the coma, lol. i've taken seroquel a couple of times when i had no lorazepam left and it didn't ease my panic attacks at first, but it did make me pass out after a while.... and once i was asleep, i was good.

but i really do prefer my ativan even over xanax when it comes to panic attacks. and i would choose benzos over anti-psychotics any day of the week anyway........ because i'm not psychotic....... i'm fucking anxious.

 

yeah i know, i wasn't perscribed seroquil, i didn't ever need any perscriptions for my mind. i was very mentally strong and really stable. i took it from my friend and feard i took to much because i was passing right out so i tried to stay up and fight it, and i fought hard! i even just stood up, standing there so i couldn't fall asleep and i almost fell asleep standing up, so i walked back in forth figuring it was impossible to pass out if you are walking, next morning i woke up on the floor. that whole day i was fine, just a little dizzy, but i was dizzy a bit before too. then that night i was sitting at my computer surfing the internet and BAM! started feeling all scared like someone was chasing me for no reason, i was like "wo" just sat to see if it would go away and it just kept elevating. I was like "why am i scared right now, calm down, your fine sitting in your house" I felt like some one was chasing me with a knife or something. That panic attack lasted until 9 am the next morning, then came down a bit but the feeling was still there for a good 8 moths after. Then depression came with it after awhile. the panic attacks are alot better now even tho i am dizzy and get them once in a while at night but sit up and control them and go back to bed. the depression is still here though, not manic though. The doctor perscribed me ativan and xanax about 7 months ago diagnosing me with generalized anxiety and depression but i never took them, because i was scared to take anything else that would alter my brain chemicals, i figured i'd try an let them relax for a bit and maybe fix itslef because taking pills and shaking up my chemicals is what i did in the first place. Is there such a thing as taking a cycle of pills to balance out your brain chemicals and then your fine and never have to take anything again? I know it might not be usual, but is this possible in some cases? because i was fine before last year, so mentally stable, never had a panic attack or anything and i could take so much drugs. i don't know if thats what caused it(the drugs), or if fighting the seroquil did something to my brain, or if i had it forever and it just started to come out. what do you think? the doctor said it's impossible to develop it when im 21 and i had to have had it my whole life, but i just don't think so. also 3rd question sorry, do you think i should try the ativan lightly to see if it helps for the anxiety and then maybe that will allow my brain to help the depression as well? thanks.
??????????????????????????????

 

a lot of people get a really horrible feeling from taking seroquel... especially if you took a dose of 100mg or more. i've heard people say they felt really empty, dissociated, just all around terrible. that's why i've only messed with it at 25-50mg, definitely not going higher than that. and the next day dizziness? seroquel is designed to last a very long time. the entire day after taking a 50mg dose, i feel waaay more chilled out, and the drug is definitely still noticeable.

i don't know about a cycle of pills, but i do know that pills are not the only option you have available to you. why not try a non-drug route? it might be healthier in the long run. i've heard something along the lines of benzos making it harder for your brain to regulate itself because you have something doing it for you. which is fine as long as you're on the pills

if you're apprehensive about taking drugs, why take drugs? nothing's saying you have to.

 

I developed anxiety issues after getting out of the military. At times, my resting pulse was up to 140...constantly. I was on Oxazepam for awhile, now Alprazolam (Xanax), which works really well. I don't even need to take the prescribed dose of .5mg 3x per day. It has no side effects that I notice, of course I realize that this drug is widely abused.

 

I was on seroquel, and I flipped out getting upsest all time, not being able to sit still i become deppresed digging my nails into my arm cause kept getting upset

 

my experience with seroquil has been terrable...but it does work for some people.

you should call the doctor who prescribed it, because bad reactions aren't uncommon at all with it.
