Hi, I am on Cilift since 3 days now. I can deal with the headaches every now and then. But I find, that my panic attacks got worse. I wake up in the morning with my heart racing and the evenings are even worse. I started with half a tablet for the first 4 days. The Dr. gave me Beta blocker and a tranquilizer now.

Hello All, I was taking Lexapro for 3 days and on the third day, I was experiencing problems simular to a panic attack. I have not taken the medicine in 3-4 weeks but I am still having panic attack when I take vitamins. My family doctor has said that Lexapro is out of my system after a few days. Did I just rewire my brain to panic attack after feeling different from vitamins and other OTC meds? ## Hello, MonkeyBoy123! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. No, it is very doubtful that just 3 days of Lexapro would have any type of permanent effect. According to the FDA, its normal side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. It is classified as an SSRI antidepressant. It is possible that you're just suffering from anxiet...

I get panic attacks when having to fly , doc gave me some Xanax 250mcg to take before flying. Will I become addicted to this medication and will I get side effects or withdrawl symptoms from using Xanax for 2 days flying each way??? Maybe I should just cancel my flight.??? ## Using that low of a dosage, only when you fly, will not result in addiction or withdrawal symptoms. It takes much more frequent use to do that. Take them as directed and you'll be fine for your flight. You may experience some side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability. Read more: Are there any other questions or comments? ## that is a very small amount and i dont think you will have a problem with dependancy/addiction

I have been on carvedilol 12.5 mg twice a day for about 2 months and am wondering if it might be the cause of what i would describe as mild to major panic attacks as soon as i wake up. They are scary. I am filled with a sense of doom. I am tired but get up ,drink some coffee and toast and start moving. This helps. I am also being treated with wellbutrin for depression (low dose as well as lorazepam. This all scares me and i need help figuring what is triggering these attacks. I recently had a ICD biventricular pace maker put in because of CHF which was diagnosed some 6 months ago. Prior to carvedilol my DR. had me taking metoprolol which gave me nightmares and disturbed sleep. So he switched me to carvedilol. I also high hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine for that. I most always feel...

Yesterday, I was prescribed hydroxyzine/Atarax, a drug sometimes used as an anticholinergergic (antihistamine) medicine but can also used for fast-acting relief of panic attacks. I am on currently prescribed Klonopin 2mg 3x a day for generalized anxiety and debilitating panic attacks, along with Fetzima, a SNRI that I recently started a week and 3 days ago. Prior to that, I was on Pristiq for 3 months and that did nothing for my depression but make it worse, and before that I was on Effexor XR, which for a decade because it was the only anti-depressant that didn't cause terrible side-effects and weight gain. However, over the last two year, Effexor started making me worse than better in terms of my depression. These meds are prescribed by Psychiatric NP, for major depression and Sea...

I have been taking 1 mg Xanax a day for panic attacks and anxiety for over 20 years. New doctor won't refill. Told me I am too old to have a panic attack! How do I manage until I can find a new doctor? Any suggestions on a doctor in Phoenix az that believes you can have problems at 61? ## I use Bach Flower Remedies Rescue Remedy ## Any Doctor who tells you that you are too old to have panic attacks should be reported to the State Board and you should consider filing a legal suit against him or her if that was actually said? My Doctor is really old, like 71 and I am really old, 56, and would lunge for their throat if that was said to me. It is true that older people should take less Alprazolam than youngsters however! ## @Joni, Just wanted to offer a few other suggestions pertaining ...

I am severely depressed and suffer from anxiety as well. I have started to see a psygologist and he recommended I ask my GP for medication. Which I did. He prescribed Lorien and Alzam. I thought it was working but then my panic attacks intensified. They are so severe that I have to go get an injection to stop it. It is so embarasing, as it makes me vomit, lets me faint and also give me pins and needles in my arms and my throught feels like I want to cry, but I don't. I cannot control myself and need help to get to the doctor for the injection. He has now prescribed Tranqipam for when I feel a panic attack come. This is very difficult for me, as I don't know it's comming until it is too late. I don't understand what triggers it, as I will get them at different times of th...

When I take Norco 5/325 they don't put me to sleep and 3 hours later I will have a panic attack. Why is that? ## This is a narcotic that is used to relieve pain, so while they may cause drowsiness as a side effect, they are not intended to put you to sleep. The FDA lists its other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. As to the panic attacks, it's hard to say, Are you on any other medications? Or do they only happen after taking Norco? Is it always at a 3 hour interval from taking it?

I have had 2 panic attack episodes after taking prescription drugs. The first was after taking the second pill of erythromyacin and the most recent was after taking protonix. My anxiety lasts for very long periods of time. I would like to know if anyone else has had a problem with panic attacks or anxiety attacks while taking prescription medication. ## YES, I HAVE SUFFERED FROM ANXIETY & PANIC ATTACKS FOR YEARS.& I JUST LIKE YOU, IF I START A NEW MEDICATION I GET STRONG ANXIETY ATTACKS- THE REASON WHY- IN 1989 WHEN I WAS 3 MONTHS PREGNANT THE DOCTOR KNEW I WAS ALLERGIC TO 1 MEDICINE FOR NAUSEA & I GOT A SHOT OF ANOTHER MED HOWEVER IT WAS IN THE SAME FAMILY AS THE 1 I WAS ALLERGIC TO.

First day (morning) after taking Viibryd. Took my first 10 mg last night before bed. Slept ok. No weird nightmares. Regular 6/7 hours of sleep. But I do take Ambien. Did not take with food and was OK. Woke up with tummy hurting and had to go to the bathroom twice. (they're right on that part). But... best of all- I def. feel so much happier after just one dose. Not sure yet how it will work on my panic attacks/anxiety but so far I am hopeful. After trying just about all the other SSRI's that always did not work for one reason or another... I am hoping this one just keeps getting better. Worked fast. I usually wake up very lack luster. Today... I woke up happy. Big difference!!! And that was just the first dose. I will check back after a week to update. I was def nervous taking t...

Have been on Xanax for yrs and cannot find anymore since I moved from SC to FL....pls help!!!! I have panic attacks....can't just go off this medication cold turkey?!?! ## If you suffer from anxiety and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems as well as having a better understanding of how to cope with situations in the event that you don't have your medication on hand. Many general physicians are also reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government. If it's of any help, linked below is a list of p...

I live in Wilmington NC. I am moving shortly to TN. My anxiety and stress is causing me to shut down. I need to pack and move and am having problems with all of it. I need a doctor to prescribe me some xanaz for the attacks so I can get going. ## I am on the same boat as you, I have been battling anxiety and panic attacks since I was about 14, so almost 10 years! Sometimes I think it would be best to just give up and die but I know its not the correct answer. It has been almost a month since my last panic attack and I used to have them almost every day! There are a few exercises you can research and use to help control the panic and anxiety, they have helped out tremendously for me. They do not cure you by any means but it does help. :) hope I was helpful and remember that you are not a...
