Im sorry to hear that happened to you. Panic, or Anxiety attacks are not very nice at all. I used to have them all the time, but thank God I only get them occasionally now. Strange thing, I had one the other night, just as I was getting in to bed, luckily my partner was awake, and he helped me through it, and it was not as intense as those I have had in the past.

It must be very tiring for you, and to have a seizure on top. My dear old Dad used to have some sort of seizures, one minute he would be fine, then he would just stand there blank as anything, sometimes he would talk, but would not make sense, never did find out what the cause was.
I hope by the time you read this, you are feeling better.

Thank you ocmach,
I am feeling better now, just kinda tired. I am still at work so have to keep going even though I would love to just lay down and watch tv for the rest of the day.
Hugs,
Sandi

Dont overdo it huni, I know sometimes one has to work, but your health is important.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Try deep breathing exercises.Breath in through your nose to the count of 3, hold for three and then breath out through your mouth to the count of 3. Some people do it to the count of 5 but I can't seem to make it that far. I've read that if you breath properly you get the proper Co2/O2 ratio which makes it impossible to have a full blown panic attack. I've only had a few panic attacks since these 'glory' years began and I hope I never have one again..Take care and I hope you have a better day tomorrow Sandi..Jane

Panic attacks are the bane of my existance. I take 1mg of xanax 4x's a day just for maintenence. If I don't get a full blown "I'm having a heart attack, call 911" at least once a week, the Universe is smiling down on me. Not fun, and I'm so sorry that you were at work. EEEEeek! I'm thinking good thoughts for you! -Tiffani

I'm so sorry you went through this....panic attacks are like nothing else...I used to have them constantly....I hope you can get some rest today...

For Tiffani above - I related so much to when you wrote that "Panic attacks are the bane of my existence"....that was true for me, as well, for decades of my life...since taking Klonopin, this medication has wiped-out the attacks...would you consider using Klonopin instead of Xanax? I know a lot of people prefer Xanax because it can be taken "as needed", but taking Klonopin on a regular basis seems to provide enough of a buffer to keep those panic demons at bay.

I'm only writing this because I know how very much a person can suffer from panic attacks, and I will tell anyone I can who has panic disorder about Klonopin, because it helped me so much (although I realize it is not for everyone...)

Best wishes,
Janet
