I'm really, really, starting to believe this panic thing is tied to mania. It's 5:15 am, I've only slept a couple of hours and I'm also having a lot of the panic symptoms. I've been taking klonopin, but it's not even making me drowsy, I'm too wired for that.
I had to stop lamictal last week due to swelling. So right now I'm not on anything for bipolar and the anxiety is through the roof.
I'm thinking the panic is a physical manifestation of mania....not a separate disorder, after all. At least for me.
