Then everything started to hear very far away and muffled and my vision was getting more and more snowy and I was having trouble walking. I wasn't hyperventilating to my knowledge but it was getting hard for me to breath. I was on the beach so I was trying to get to the board walk before I fell and when I got up onto it I couldn't stand any longer and I just fell onto all fours. I never lost consciousness but I was in this dark silent place. It was scary. I also couldn't feel my head, like maybe I was hyperventilating.?
It took me almost 10 minutes sitting there in the middle of the board walk to feel somewhat normal. It was nothing like any panic attack I have ever had before. Even 20 minutes later I felt very weak.

It might have been a drug interaction. Like I was taking Geodon and then I switched to symbyax without waiting for it to get out of my system. My friend said she had severe panic attacks while on Geodon so I'm guessing it's that. But I don't know, I'll see my doctor soon.

It sound like a panic attack with derealisim which is why your vision proberly started going snowy. I use to have panic atacks where I would I get tunnel vission then if some thing made me worse I would walk out of where ever I was and just walk fast, some time I would snap out of it hour later and far away from where i started and other time just a fue mins and not far at all. I do not remember much of the panic attack I had to have crossed several roads and once it was light when I freaked out and dark when i snapped out of it. I was in one area and snapped out of it several areas and 3 hours later and I dont remember much at all.
Thanks for this!
