Hi everyone, for the last three days i have felt like i have been having one long panic attack, breathing problems, heart racing, stomach churning, shaking, feeling like i need the toilet all the time, just wanting to 'run away' and hide but not knowing why. Can panic last all that time? I feel a bit calmer today[Yeah!] But just wondered if anyone else has experienced this as it kind of freaked me out a bit! [|)]

Take care

Hi Daisybun
Glad to hear you're feeling calmer today. I was just like you for about 8 weeks, all those symptoms all the time, but it never blew up into a full blown PA. It isn't nice at all and is scary, but it will pass.
Keep telling yourself its 'only' anxiety and can't hurt you and keep on doing what you would normally do, don't let how you're feeling stop you doing stuff and it will ease up.
Take Care
Love Helen

Thanks everyone, I've just taking magnolia and rhodiola root so we'll see if that is helping - do feel better. Stopped the diazepam today.

Take care
