Never had one, but today for a while I was just overwhelmed with fear and kind of parylized. I took 2 klonopin and felt better in about 15 mins. but it sure was scary. Anybody feel like this sometimes??

Hmm to me that sounds more like a shot of Anxiety, but without knowing exactly how you felt then i couldn't really tell you.

In a panic attack it can be very hard to draw breath and breathing may seem extremely difficult.

It may be worth consulting your Doctor about this and getting a professional opinion.

Best of luck!

Surely a "shot of anxiety" is a panic attack. I think paralysation would pretty much constitute a panic attack. Be worth discussing this with you doctor. Feel better soon :)

I know what you mean vixy but a shot of anxiety really is different, you can have a shot of anxiety whilst walking down the street... but not have the same things as you would have in a panic attack.

Anyway..best of luck with everything.

hmm....I have ahd anxiety attacks...sort of.

does backing yourself up against a wall at the super wal-mart qualify?

I just breathed my way through....had to go outside and then come back in to finish my shopping....left my cart with the greeter lady....

had a rapid heartbeat and broke out in a sweat.....

Sorry this happened to you, I'm sure it WAS scary.
