Hi there
I recently wrote on here about tonsil stones.
I have been getting panic attacks over them and thought i could taste a 'bad' taste in my mouth. I wasn't even at all anxious at the time it happened and then i had a panic attack over this bad taste.
I had a really bad spell of panic maybe three years a go now.
I panicked for a week non stop, lost a stone, was depressed and almost became agoraphobic because i was so scared to leave the house in case it happened again.
I also didn't want to eat as i attributed eating to panic.
It has taken me 2 years to get over that.
I am on Fluoxetine 20MG and take valium occasionally and for some reason the panic has started again over stupid things like this 'bad taste'.
I saw the doctor and he signed me off work for a week and changed my meds to Zoloft 100MG - I haven't started the switch yet as all the possible side effects have scared me.
I have been feeling better the last few days and then all of a sudden tonight i am lying in bed and i get very close to an attack because i feel like there is something stuck in my throat.
I don't have a clue what to do.
Each panic attack makes me feel like i am back at square one and i feel exhausted again.
I don't want to start getting scared over issues with my throat.
It's not something i can escape from!!!!
I feel so awful as well because i have read some of the people on here's experiences and they have been a hell of a lot worse than what i have been through.
I cannot believe how you have managed to pull through some of the things that have happened to you.
I think it's wonderful that you have but i feel in disbelief.
Does any one have any advice or me? Should i go back to the doctors? Do panic attacks cripple you for days?
Do they make you severely depressed?
Do they make you feel suicidal?
Do they make you feel totally irrational?
When i had my first panic attacks (the one around three years ago) it happened over a root canal. I became so panicked i looked into having all my teeth removed so i wouldn't have to go through the experience again
Help?!
