I had a panic attack!! Talk about awkward and totally unseen!! Usually I do very , very well with not having an attack while in the comfort of my own home. But last night , I did. And it lasted for a little longer than I wanted it too. So I took some rescue remedy and laid down for a few moments.

Ended up fading , but still a little freaky. Then last night , I broke my rescue remedy! :O That's the one thing I had left ..... Now to find something else thats not a "real" drug!

And then today , while cooking KD...I started to have another one, but thankfully it disappeared before it got out of hand....... Ugh.... Hate it!

you would be helped by learning panic coping skills and taking valium

I doubt rescue remedy, although popular helps any more than placebo effect

I kinda agree with Harry about the rescue remedy... it never did anything for me either but if it helps for you cause you think it does it is worth keeping it with you. It always comes as a huge shock when you have a PA where or when you least expect it. Keep a steady supply of food going into you through out the day... when I was pregnant I had to snack a lot instead of big meals cause if I waited too long to eat I would get anxious. Have you tried any herbal teas like cammomile?

aromatherapy is great too when you are pregnant... there are quite a few scents out there that can help like lavendar or ylang ylang. Talk to a holistic medicine person or someone from a health food store... they could help you out with natural remedies

Thanks everyone for all your advice. Rescue remedy never really did help me with anything. It usually just stayed in my drawer.

Im hoping my doctor has something fast acting to take ! :)

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
