Was afraid of having another panic attack on Sunday. My mom and sister brought me to the hospital because I was distressed. I was admitted for an emergency psychiatrist appointment.
I was left in a room and I started to panic. The doctor prescribed diazepam so I took 5mg, then 5mg olanzepine and then another 5mg of diazepam.
They said I was paranoid so if the diazepam didn't work, I'd be given Haldol - I thought that they were trying to kill me for a second.
My panic lasted a total of 5 hours 8/10-9/10 anxiety - Very very intense. I felt like I ran a marathon.
The next day, my doctor wanted to prescribe two benzos a day (Alprazolam) but I said to lower it to 0.25mg twice a day. I took the 0.25mg alprazolam and then saw the psychiatrist on the TV - He was the best psychiatrist I've ever met.. Very good listener and asked the right questions.
I usually get panic when the Vyvanse wears off but it was lowered to 40mg from 50mg today and I am prescribed 0.5mg of clonazepam twice a day as needed in case I have another panic attack.
I'll be in the hospital for a few more days so they know that I'm taking my medications properly and as prescribed. Hopefully I don't have another panic attack today but at least I have something to take.
Today is pretty good - I had a good sleep, everything is ok!
