[QUOTE=AnnieB3;618365]I know that panic attacks are personal but I'm wondering if you can point to an event or a drug that may have initiated them. Some drugs can bring them on or make them worse. Did you know that anger and panic can't exist in your body at the same time? Seriously, my psychologist let me in on that one. So if you can try to leave the environment you are in while you are having one, think of something that makes you angry and then, once it's gone, think of something peaceful/something you love that makes you feel safe. Try that.

Annie, you are right about this. I found by experimentation that the only way to make my panic go away is to get angry first. When the fear was really bad I listened to heavy metal music that felt full of anger with lyrics I could relate to (I am laughing about this now but it worked for me and I was desperate for something to help me). Once I was able to get angry, then the fear went away and then I had a chance to think positive thoughts so I could start healing.


DeliaDee, Mestinon makes me nervous if I take too much at one time. I had to adjust my dose to take smaller amounts more times throughout the day. To avoid the nervousness (and other side effects) I only take 30 mg at a time.

I hope this helps
