Panic Attacks – past the point of Valium

Panic Attacks – past the point of Valium





Okay let me first say the reason for my panic attacks is social anxiety. All I can say is they happen at least 50 times daily and have taken over my life for the past 3-½ years.



My panic attacks are almost like a twitch… I lose full control over my respiratory system and specific parts of my nervous system. I lose control of my breathing; it becomes hard for me to control my actions… I will begin kicking up dust with my feet, playing with anything that I can (a string from my hood) my legs arms and hands shake (witch stems from my respiratory and emotional dysfunctions) the way it stems from respiratory and emotional dysfunctions is much like when you are stressed you pull your hair… but when I am anxious around people ( always ) I experience mixed emotions at a exceeding severe level. Some of the emotions that are mixed are fear, low self-esteem and a severe feeling of self-consciousness. mainly the fear I feel causis me to shake, the feeling of low self-esteem gives me the motive to pose and look cooler but because my self esteem is so low and I am in this intense state of panic attacking I only have the ability to resort to looking around and kicking dust ect… witch makes my panic attack worse because I failed at looking cooler. The reason I want to look cooler is because being I was always made fun of to the point that I was the worst kid in school. and I was never popular I think I may be the worst bullied kid in London Ontario. But back to the feelings subject my self consciousness also plays a big roll in my panic attack, I realize that the things I am doing is making me look worse and then my self-consciousness kicks in and makes me do even dumber things. And in return I panic attack more and more. It is as if it is one vicious circle constantly eating at my emotions.



Now here is ware my problem lye’s and it is the reason I come here for help. Even with my doctor and psychiatrists knowing that it my panic attacks are this bad and it has been keeping me in my house for the past 3 ½ years he won’t even prescribe me valium he has been prescribing me effexor and resparidone witch didn’t work the first time so he re-prescribed me them. I have asked him numerous times to let me try valium and that I don’t even think valium would work because I need a numbing.



So how do I get him to get me off these peace of shit drugs that do nothing and onto something that will help me ?

 

You need to go to a different doctor.

 

i agree u should get a different opinion but make sure u shop around if u really do have a problem then u need more than just good drugs. you need sound unbiased medical advice and therapy. however the reason the doc wont change your script is probably because u asked specifically for valium, a controlled and highly abused substance. doctors are trained to look for wat is called "drug seeking behavior" which could mean a number of diff things but asking for specific drugs is definately a no no. u should instead find a doctor with a good background and if the drugs ur on just arent working tell the doc only about ur symptoms and that fact that the meds arent working. u may not get valium but ull be given a number of diff scripts until u get one that works. believe me doctors want to give u drugs they make money that way they just dont want to advocate breaking the law, well most of them dont. keep in mind u r paying for a service and if ur not getting the results u want then dont keep giving these ppl money.

 

Start taking a SSRI. There isn't DSB for that. You might want to try to get some midazolam on the downlow if you have a strong benzo tolerance

 

maybe its time that u try OXYCONTIN!! that will make ur emotions numb, hell it will make u physical numb too! nothing will scare u, or make u nervous while on it! but then again its horribly addictive....oh and btw valium sucks ass, u need xanax!
