Hi Everyone,
I had a severe panic attack Saturday night ... it just wouldn't end. After 2 hours of suffering my spouse took me to the Emergency department. I was in absolute agony of mind and my body shook violently for hours! The worse part for me is the feeling that I can't bear it another second! That I can NOT stand being in my own body! And of course that just escalates things even more because there's no escape. Does anyone else get like that? I was DESPERATE for relief. I would have given anything for an injection to calm me down. Instead they gave me a Lorazepam with only minimal effects along with a couple more to take home with me. I have since seen my doctor and am getting back on Paxil (Paroxetine) and Diazapam.
But I am terrified of that terrifiying feeling of not being able to stand being in myself.
Would like to hear from others who experience this, since I feel so freakish.
Thanks.
