Hi all,
i have been suffering from panic attacks since 2 weeks, they came on to me all of a sudden, even though i have no depression or stress, or anxiety. I am a very cheerful and optimistic person and have been through depressive conditions and made a cheerful recovery.
3 months back my gynaec gave me estrogen to regulate my menses, and i guess estrogen and coffee dont go to gether. on 27th october i had my first panic attack, and subsequent insomnia and depression because of estrogen withdrawal effects.
I was rushed off to the general physician, who gave me a tranquilizer, diazepam, and zopiclone as a sleeping pill. After a couple of days i went to the neurologist, since i realised this is not a case for psychiatrists. She said my vegetative system is hyperactivated because of the estrogen and caffeine is strictly prohibited.
I have been prescribed Cortikzone injections ( 10 of them ), multivitamins with amino acids, anxiolytic and nootropic drug called NOOFEN, and a choline derivative called GLIATILIN. I was also prescribed cipralex, but i havent had it yet. Its been 2 weeks since i took the medicines, and it has been working fine, and my insomnia has gone too. No effects on my memory or intelligence ( i am a medical student, studying in Ukraine).
But today in the evening, i consumed coke, in celebration, and the panic attack hit me 6 hours later, at 12 am. My main fear is that i will go mad, or i am going mad, and that no one around will be able to control me if i scream or rave. It's this fear that gets me panicky, even though my neurologist assured me i will not become insane. I had diazepam 5 mg, 1 and half tablet to calm myself.
My question is for anyone who can help me, has anyone had a problem similar to mine? estrogen wrecking the nervous system?
