Anxiey Attacks, Who Of You Has Them?

I just have to ask, why do i still have these i am not detoxing and I have been clean for 6 months , one slip up(opps), and yet i still have them like nuts?, what is going on?, i feel as if i am going nutty!

I know some of you think this is a stuped topic, but I am having them like crazy today!, and i am not sure as to why??. I am on Paxil and have been for like a few weeks it should be working, and it isnt??, so i am going to get a refill on my Klonopin and start back on that, untill these die down..( my husband holds them 4-me), so thats my help. i have never abused benzos and never want to eaither, so my hubby holds them for me.. but i dont wasnt to be on any meds, but my body is going wacky, so what is someone to do?.....

I am just going to go to a meeting after Turkey , maybe that will help, as it always has in the past, so.. I will keep u all posted if you want to listen to me?..

Thanks for your ears and eyes, luv jasmine:):):):):)>>>
Jaz- The anxiety stuff is normal. I was on Xanax for 7 years and quit CT. Still clean. But still get these major anxiety things and I know it's because of the drugs. Anti-depressants take 2-3 weeks to kick in. It's not like a pain pill or a benzo, where you get "instant" relief. If what you are taking dosen't work, talk to your Doc about switching to something that does. I didn't know what Klano was till I just read up on it, and it's a benzo. If you really feel like you need one, then please remember they are for short term use. And a benzo addiction is the last thing you want to get caught up in. No one understands until it happenes to them. Been there, done that. Just make sure hubby gives them out when 'scribed or needed, but not needed more than 'scribed. JMHO
Hey Danny, yeah i am 100% aweare of benzos and they never have gotten me high, and i only have one more refill and i know that it is only for shot term usage only, remember i worked in the medical field?..

as for use only as needed, that is what I do, but with pain pills forget it, this anxiety is really making me want to use!! , but i will not!! I am going to a meeting tonite, for sure!!

luv jasmine..
the klonipin should prevent the panic attacks. you can keep ativan for the break thorugh panic you feel. let someone trust worthy take the responsibility of keeping them for you and only keep 1 days worth available if you have trouble with the temptation. that is working in my house.
Hi Labecca, my husband holds my pills 4-me and leaves me my days worth, so that really works out!

Sometimes i do not trust myself to try to get a little buzzzzzz, if ya get my drift!!

have a great T-Day, jasmine!
Jaz- I'm anti-benzo if someone abuses, but if you need one, you do, plain and simple. So, don't feel guilty or worried. It's just that my Doc kept me on them 7 years and quiting them is way worse than an opiate. It last months or years, not days or weeks. A lot of anti-depressants help with anxiety though, and are a lot less addicting, so my advice here is also to give the Paxil a chance to "kick-in"..and if it's dosen't, stay on a benzo, and switch to another like Zoloft or Laxapro. Your Doc will give you the best options. Just don't let the benzo stretch out like I did. Thats a hard path to get off of. I did it, so I know. And I'm not preaching. I'm like the LAST one who should. Just trying to help you.
Ok, also the problem i have with anti anxiety meds is the sexual side affects it had on me.. I was on Przac, Paxil, Effexor, and Wellburtrin.. all sucked, so ..ok that was imbarssing enough for me, but that is why i was relucktant getting on Paxil again.. what do you think??
Unfortunately, that is a side effect. It is also a side effect of benzo's or pain pills. Your sex life goes out the window, it seems. But better your sex life out the window for a little while than your mind going out the window. It comes back though (your mind and body), so assure your hubby when it comes back, it will come back with a vengence!!!! He'll be sorry if he's said anything!! He won't get any rest!
I took Paxil and I hate it......only because I could only concentrate on one thing at a time....I need to be able to juggle a bunch of things at a time with 4 kids.....As for the sexual stuff no problem as long as I wasn't trying to cook at the same time....LOL
You two are so funny, have you guys eaten yet?, i am just about to!! yum, yum:)
well thanks for your input!
Jaz- I wish I could eat. I have the worst flu I've had in about 10 years. My wife and kids went to her Mom's for Thanksgiving, so I am alone. I was going to go too, but no reason to if I'm just going to not eat. Thats why I've been here all day. Luckily, she's bringing some home for me. Right now though..ugghhhhh
Sorry you missed dinner Danny......don't feel to bad I can't eat turkey and I love it so much but it makes me sick....Well off to take a walk......be back soon if you want to shoot the s***.
i just got done eating, i am sorry Danny that u are sick, i hope you start feeling better soon..:)
I'll be around for a while. Since I can't eat like everyone else, I have nothing else to do!!! (But keep getting better)
My daughter went fishing in the ocean this morning and threw up the whole time. I thought she was just seasick.......but now she just told me her mouth is watering again so I now think she may have some kind of a bug.....so know that you are not alone and when you feel back to normal.....everyone will be barfing here! lol
Misty- Believe me. I thought my two little ones were "milking it". The whole sympathy thing. That is until I got it. The poor little babies...they STILL have it after 4 days..I just got mine yesterday...this is one bad bug..I just feel sorry for all the little ones or older folks that needed a flu shot and couldn't get one..
I know all about the flu shot thing. My son got his he must have it trying to get my 14 year old one she has asthma......we just found out.....the baby is allergic to eggs and they are afraid to give it to her. She is the one I am the most worried about.....If she gets sick it will be horrible. I think the one 12 year old just has a stomach thing it is going around here. Really sucks....
Be back in alittle tubby time for the little one............
Of course you know, I am sure, because they grow the virus in eggs. That is why they are afraid. I too have a little asthma, not a bad case, but it surely does not help. We got this from my little niece, who I love dearly. So, people, if someone says their child isn't feeling well, but they want to come over, tell them no. This bug is a bad one. It's really knocked us out. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow and go for a bike ride. It's cold here, but it feels so good.
hey danny, have you got some grub yet? i sure hope so! we just dropped our pumpkin pie all over the floor, my huband got tripped by the twins, wow this sucks!
Jaz- No grub for me. I wish. Funny about the pie. We did that once and it ended up in a FOOD FIGHT. We were all throwing stuff at each other, all over a pie.
