PANIC DISORDER SEVERE / SLEEP PROBLEMS!!!?!


Question: PANIC DISORDER SEVERE / SLEEP PROBLEMS!!!!?
I have the worst panic attacks! I experience confusion, think I'm about to or am dying, hot flashes, dizziness!. I also can't sleep and this might sound stupid but when I'm about to go to sleep I fear I won't wake up!. My physician has given me Ultram for anxiety, Seroquil for sleep!. Ultram doesn't work and I'm literally afraid to take seroquil because it hits you so hard and makes you go to sleep like a tranquilizer and I usually have a panic attack until I can't fight it anymore and pass out!. I take xanax (buy it on the street cause no doc will give it to me), I hate taking it but it SERIOUSLY is the only thing that will work!. I've tried wellbutrin, lexapro, paxil, ALL antidepresants and most other sleep (trousadone) and anti anxieties but the only thing that truly works is xanax !.!. maybe that really is the only thing that will work for me and that depresses me terribly!. please suggestions will help if there are any left to give!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I also have panic disorder mine usually hits just a I lay down so I started sleeping in my clothes!. When this happens Im out the door, walking moving and keeping busy!. I cant just lay there and wonder if I
might actually die!.I have found a good mix of meds for this to be klonopin and a muscle relaxer and trazodone!. But it takes time to hit so while Im waiting for relieve I force myself to keep busy!. Im far from a doc!. Maybe your dr!. will change your meds if you tell him the ones your on aren't working anymore!. Mental Health groups are helpful because you hear others advise!. Well that just my input!. Don't get in trouble for having medication without a prescription!. good luck sleep tightWww@Answer-Health@Com

ask if you can try Klonopin!. I have the same disorder!. I take klonopin and Xanax! As far as Seroquel goes, a low dose (50mg) shouldn't knock you out that bad!. My husband takes it and he sleeps for about 6 or 7 hours straight!.
Maybe you should try another doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ultram!? Perhaps Xanax Works as an Anxiolytic!.

I agree, might be time for a new doc if they are not listening to you!. Tell them exactly what you told us!. Even about how you have to buy the xanax on the street and you have found that it works!. Its not like your doc can have you arrested and he/she might see how desperate you are for a solution!. Ive had panic attacks before and they are so horrible!. There are normal panic attacks and then there are REAL ones when it feels like you are living a dream or out of body!. I feel for ya, they are a nightmare!. Again, find somewhere that will meet your needs and keep trying until someone listens to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
