Oh yeah. I get panic attacks.

Anxiety I can deal with. Panic attacks are another monster.

Keep a valium in one of those teeny pretty little pill boxes in your pocket or purse at all times. I break them into little 4ths and that way I can just take a little and see if it helps. Usually, if I can head it off just as it starts, it just stays at anxiety level and I don't have to run around high as a kite. (I hate that.)

And just keep the rx filled. Even if you have a good month. Just put them in the cabinet so they are there for the next time.

Lots of people have panic and anxiety with or without bipolar. But having bipolar and panic are not even close to fun and you need more support from your pdoc. Like bizi said.

There are other benxo's if you don't like the valium.

And now that I have the B12 in my body again, I haven't had a single panic attack and I had been having them all day, every day for almost a month now. We all have different reasons why our bodies flip out on us, but mine seems to be vitamin related.

I am sorry. I know how it feels and I wish I could hold your hand and talk you through them. It's a scary feeling.
