At one time my mind was buffeted with sharp,and painful tormenting thoughts all of the time. I was on the edge of panic attacks allot of the time,and stress,and high anxiety. It is so aggravating. Less then one half of one percent of people understand it. There has been so much misunderstanding from the people around me.
I found out that one of my first cousins had panic attacks. These things come down the family tree somewhere. BF  |
Thank you for posting Steve.
Understandably, I don't like that feeling. And it's making it hard for me to tell when I've taken too much med because the s/e can feel so similar to over-medication.
I don't know if these prns are being prescribed with the intent to stabilize my mood or sedate me? Or if it really makes a difference?
I'm afraid of being completely snowed like I was when I was on Lithium. To be completely honest, I'm afraid I might end up under-medicating because of it and end up high on the spectrum. I'd rather be higher. Who wouldn't want to be? But I know that's not healthy for me.
When I got out of the hospital after my s/s attempt I started having
very disturbing memories/images and a lot of panic attacks, usually in the morning when my anxiety is at its highest. I have fewer now. I take Xanax when it happens, but the Seroquel seems to be helping me have less of those thoughts and anxiety.
Thanks to all!
Kay
