Just wondering. I get “paranoia attacks” where my tongue fills up my mouth, i cant breathe right, my heart races, and i think i hear people talking and see swirly shapes when i close my eyes. They last from 1 - 15 hours. I feel like these attacks are related to panic attacks. I took two hydroxyzine but it didnt do anything to calm me down.

Yeah. I have horrible anxiety. I notice i get paranoid when my anxiety med wears off at night. Usually between 5-7pm is my trouble time.

I used to get something similar on zotepine. I would have thoughts that people around me are behaving in certain way to rile me up. I would feel restless. It stopped after I stopped zotepine.
I had chronic panic attacks.
They were horrible, thought I was going to die every time.
Now I’m on klonopin and haven’t had one in years.

I learned how to beat anxiety and panic attacks…it took therapy…basically I learned how to “unplug the fear” associated with anxiety and panic attacks and overcame it without meds. it’s a mind game…if you want to pm me, do so and I will try to help you more. @pasteyface
Infrequently these days. I have developed the self-confidence needed to push past them quickly.

I’ve probably had several throughout the years, but the worst one I had happened 4ish days after first starting Abilify.
The ambulance was involved, and it was pretty scary.

I used to get frequent severe panic attacks all throughout my childhood and young adult years.
Today I no longer get panic attacks but I experience lots of anxiety.
I get stressed out easily.
Funny you should say that, I was on Klonopin for years for panic attacks. Eventually I got addicted and had to go through a horrendous withdrawal. Did stop the panic attacks though.

I’m definitely physically dependent.
I don’t know how it will shake out if/when I get off of them, but I’m sure it won’t be fun.

Well. It seems many of you are prescribed meds that are strong enough to help. Unfortunately my doctor doesnt want to prescribe any more meds. Hes a bum.
