Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
My name is Lisa.I have had anxiety since 1988 when it first started I would have between 5 to 10 panic attacks in a day.Spent 8 years in therapy trying to get my life back.I have'nt been to therapy since 2001.For the most part things have been good and I only needed to take klonopin as needed.
September 19th all day off and on i had anxiety and a racing heart beat that I just could'nt get a grip on.It was like a run away train.They ran every test and told me it was a panic attack.it had been so long since I had a full blown panic attack I just lost control.
Anyway its back to thearapy because the panic is worse at night.Im wondering if anyone else gets woken up with the racing heart.Its like Im falling asleep and then something startles me and then panic sets in except there is nothing there and I wasnt having any dream at least nothing i could remember.it seems to be before I hit the really good sleep.
Thanks

I will wake up in a panic, and it is sometimes hard to calm down. I take Klonopin and it helps for the most part, but of course I still have anxiety filled days. The reason why the lorazepam seems to work faster is becuase it is considered a fast acting drug, that does not stay in your system that long. I tried it myself but after about 2 hours it was back to a full blown attack. that's why I have chose to stay on the klonopin because my therapist said it builds up in your system over time and doesnt have such a short half life. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you. I have only been on this sight a few days but it is already a blessing to me!
Check this out I am going to be trying it have to get off my meds first.
