This one ought to go in the record books. Twitching, convulsing, crying, muscle spasms, hyperventilating, the whole shebang, for 30 minutes or more (not even counting the 3 days I felt it building). God bless my girlfriend for being so understanding. Best part? Finals start tomorrow, I have four tests over two days and a major project to finish that I'm responsible for a huge portion of, and I haven't started ANYTHING.
Forget 60mg Cymbalta, I need elephant tranquilizers.

((((((((((muse))))))))))
 Sending hugs your way, if that's OK. Panic attacks are horrible to go through, I'm sorry you had to experience such a bad one, at such a bad time. I wish you the best of luck on your finals & project. |

Take care of yourself. Know those kinds of attacks. Can you get elephant tranquilizers?LOL. Maybe your doctor can prescribe you something for times like this. My doctor does.

Be extra kind and gentle with yourself during this stressful time.

Muse, you have a lot on your plate right now and it's stressful stuff. I hope you have a talk with your doc about the panic attack and get some relief soon. Hugs.

Thank you all so very, very much for your kind words! I really appreciate them, and it's wonderful to be able to come here and get some support from folks who know what's going on. You all are so sweet.
 I am feeling a bit better today although my second final was a total flop.  I'll be lucky if I get a C, which is what I'm praying for at this point. That said, at least two of them are over and done with!I already spoke to my psychiatrist about this when things started getting worse, and she suggested I up my does to 80mg--sadly that would mean paying almost $300 (twice as much) for 20mg more medicine, and I just can't pay for that until I'm back home! Big pharma makes me want to punch people sometimes, haha. I tried an as-needed pill once, but that didn't go very well and might have actually precipitated my suicide attempt, sooooo I'm a bit wary of that. Granted, the doc I'm seeing now is a million times better than my old one, so who knows? Maybe she'll be able to prescribe something that actually works... like elephant tranquilizers!! XD
