panic attacks

February 7, 2000

Dear Sandy:

I too have panic attacks, although I try to convince the doctor that it has

to be something physical because it is so real and horrible. I just found

out that my thyroid levels are within normal range for the first time in two

years (have been on 10 mg Tapazole for 5 months). I still occasionally have

bad nights with heart racing, attacks?, etc. I have been keeping a diary for

the last few months and am beginning to see a pattern with my menstrual

cycle. It might help to keep a diary to see if these attacks occur in a

pattern or are unpredictable. I am on a very, very low dose of atenolol for

heart palps and that seems to have helped.

God bless...Rene'

I had terrible panic attacks until my endo put me on a low dose of thyroid

hormone at 25mcg. a day even though my ranges where within the norm. Why

this has worked for me I really don't know but it was HELL before the

medicine for a whole year.

Dear Sheri Lynn,

I don't believe those were panic attacks but early symptoms of

hyperthyroidism. I too have normal ranges and believe I'd benefit from low

doses of thyroxine, but my endo is totally opposed. Instead, I guess I'm on

my own. I'm getting more used to it and increasing my list of supplements

from 's list keeps decreasing my symptoms and the times I start with the

rapid pulse are far and few between and much more short lived.

I don't think the ranges Dr.s go by are an accurate measure, but most of

them refuse to believe this. My understanding is that it takes about 75

years for scientifically proved data to be considered common practice

amongst Drs. So without scientific proof, I guess it will be next to

impossible to convince them. I've given up trying!

When I had thyroiditis about 2 1/2 years ago, I noticed that same thing and was

told it is because its are all part of the endocrine system, so I think you are

on the right track.

Yes, and No...the panic attacks started after the Tapazole treatment which

was 7 months after the Graves so, I think the Tapazole withdrawal has

something to do with the way the body regulates iodine with the thyroid and

even though the blood ranges are within normal limits when the panic is

happening, I think it is an iodine problem somehow...adding the thyriod

hormone might be a better quality hormone that the body accepts over the one

it produces on its own, balance. I know that the hives on my legs cleared up

and the panic is down to lite anixety so I'll take it. I am on the

supplements () except for iodine. Sheri Lynn

Hey ,

I'm experiencing the same. I've been on Celexa 20mgs for the first 6

weeks, then 30mgs for the past 3 weeks, total of 9 weeks. Today is

starting week 10. Its been a crazy ride so far. Ups and downs,

sleeping to mania, its enough to make you wonder. I find reading

postings from others to be most beneficial if for nothing else but to

know others are experiencing the same.

I'm taking Celexa for depression and anxiety. At first I didn't

realize I had anxiety, only depression. After being on Celexa I

believe the depression was a symptom of anxiety. My feelings of

sadness are almost gone but for the past week and a half my anxiety

is going through the roof. The anxiety began in weeks 2-3 and then in

the weeks following leveled off with the exception of the morning

hours. For some reason during week 8 my the anxiety is returning and

I find myself relying on Xanax. The doctor only wrote me a script for

a limited amount with no refills, so I'm carful how I use them. But

as of recent I would like to take it 2x's per day. The morning and

evening periods seem to be the worst. Additionally Xanxa relief only

lasts for a few hours and SE include tired spells. It does work

fairly fast to relieve anxiety but the relief does fade. Others seem

to benefit from Klonopin which is longer lasting then Xanax but not

as rapid acting, 12 hours opposed to 3-4 for Xanax. This has been my

experience, your milage my vary. If I've learned one thing with

Celexa its effects change like the wind.

I'm trying to remain positive, my depression is better and perhaps

with a higher or lower dose of Clexa plus some Klonopin I'll find

some peace of mind.

Believe me I know what anxiety feels like. The begining weeks on " C "

I thought the sky was falling and the world was ending.

IMO you should try to stay busy and seek some anti-antiety med's.

Good luck

,

What are you taking Lexapro for? If you did not suffer from panic

attacks previously, or were not prescribed Lexapro (or Celexa) to

treat panic, the timing of the initiation of the attacks is unusual.

Most people who suffer increased anxiety from SSRI use start in the

few days, a week at most. To start at 4 weeks is very unusual, and

you are right, these drugs are prescribed to relieve attacks, not

precipitate them.

If you have suffered from episodes of attacks in the past, this may

be a new episode which is currently undertreated by the drug. In such

a case, the Dr. will generally increase the dose to reach a level

that suppresses the attacks. However, if you do not have such a

history, you should consider speaking with your Dr. regarding a drug

change if you have had them more than a couple of weeks (3 at the

absolute most). There are many other ADs which be more agreeable to

you. Remeron, Serzone, Nortriptyline, are all less likely to cause

increased anxiety, although each comes with its own set of side

effects.

Since you are early on in the drug, it is usually recommended to

switch rather than add drugs. Talk to your Dr. and I hope things

work out for you.

Thanks ! I guess because the Lexapro is more potent, it has this stronger

anxiety effect, darn.

I have a history of panic attacks.Usually in places where its closed

in....Sometimes driving, flying,.It appears when It seems like I'm

under more stress.

I never took anything for them.I was put on Celexa a few yrs ago

for depression,andfound that it helped my attacks! I was put on

Lexapro in oct and it does help.but once in awhile I can feel one

start......But it hasn't gotten to a full blown one.

I know what it islike.....very scary and out of control feeling.I

sincerely hope and crystal you guys find a med that helps.I am

worried about flying and will probaby need to take an antianxiety pill

if I fly just to make sure i'll be ok!

Take care.

February 25, 2003

Thanks Kalman! I am pretty positive this time around that I will Indeed give the

Lex a try...

Thanks again for your continued support! How have you been doing?

Hugs,

Crystal

I really hope that you can bring yourself to at least trying something. Even

with side effects, I'm sure you will feel better in the long run than you do

right now. Let us know when you take your Lexapro, we'll be here to help you

through it. Best of luck.

Crystal, I suffer bipolar, generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety.

I am always anxious about EVERYTHING. However, I've had no problems with

lex. None. No anxiety whatsoever. I have gotten anxious from wellbutrin -

it was horrible. I've not gotten much anxiety from any other AD. I also

have xanax to take as needed, but I have not needed any since starting lex

11 days ago (I take 10mg). I am also on topamax and geodon -- which also

have anti-anxiety properties, so these could be helping me.

I even went & took a 2.5 hour test today for nursing school and wasn't

paralyzed like I used to be. I was nervous, but it was a *normal* response

as anyone would have when taking a test. It was nice for a change.

hugs,

rayne

Hi Rayne! btw I love your name!! I was meaning to mention my sister to

you, but forgot.

Anyway, thank you for your post! I was taking it into consideration that you

said you

had no anxiety, but I also thought that it could be due to the fact that you are

taking

the other meds as well. I am sooooo happy for you that you are doing so well!!!

Big Hugs,

Crystal

Thanks for the mention about my name. Picked it out myself. Legally

changed my name last year from Peggy. Long story - my mother was abusive

and my name was a point of contention between us. She is deceased now and

I decided to change it! My first name is a, but I prefer to use my

middle name.

It is nice to *finally* be doing well. It's been a long haul! Thanks!!

Well I went to see my doctor today and he said to stay on the Lex for

at least 3 or 4 weeks to see the effects. He said my anxiety could

not be caused by the lex, but probably from some of the side effects

like nausea. He also gave me Xanax just in case of another panic

attack. So at least I have some reassurance now. I'm going to start

back on lex tomorrow, and see how it goes. Good Luck.

Gaba works for panic attacks for some people. So does Emotional

freedom technique (for some). A well trained QRA practitioner would

check scars (interference fields) because blocked energy in meridians

esp. head, neck and shoulder can attribute to this. You can clear the

fields with special clays. I'd also have an astrologer check the

chart to see what's going on. is Rotella, M.Ac., CNC

You really need to focus on the heart, the supreme controller. When

out of balance, it can go into panic mode. Also the kidneys. In five

elements, the kidneys control the heart. Water controls fire. If the

person is not a hot pitta type, they can try Strauss Heart remedy and

Heart Nano Detox from Premier Research Labs. But it's a good idea to

muscle test and see if the heart or kidneys are lacking support. Also

try the Heart Stablilization program in the EEG program. is

I'v just done an article about peripheral arterial

disease for the

local paper. The best therapy for neuropathy and

peripheral arterial

disease is ozon therapy. It's usually given as an

intravenous or

intra-arterial injection. I have studies on both

on-hand.

People who can't afford ozone sessions may still

benefit if the PAD

or neuropathy is not too severe by increasing

Nitric Oxide.

The company that makes Nitro FX, a Noni extract,

is giving away free

samples so you can " feel the FX " . This

will be of interest to those

with peripheral arterial disease perhaps even with

neuropathic

symptoms.

Here's the link:

Noni increases nitric oxide production. Nitric

oxide is proven to

increase microcirculation; it is a useful

treatment for circulation

problems including but not limited to PAD, angina

and asthma.

The discovery of many of nitric oxide's 200-plus

functions in the

body resulted in a recent Nobel Prize.

I have panic attacks as well. I have had them LONG before I was diagnosed

with Reiter's though. I believe that they are somewhat hereditary as

everyone in my family (from my father) seems to get them. My sister has them

real bad and they last for months at a time for her. I am taking Xanax XR

for them. I'm sure that you would like to do something else than get on

another addictive medication first though. I find that pain and stress are

huge factors in setting them off. Sometimes I'll just be sitting there and

get one though too. Not real sure yet what all my triggers are. I suggest

you see a good psychiatrist to help you with them. Mine led to extreme

agorophobia at one point in time. I didn't leave my house for six months.

Take care of it before it really sets in again. I'll think about some of the

things that I have done to help them and post again. My brain quit

functioning for the night for the most part. Take care and I'll get you more

info. My sis has a ton of it. Best of luck to you.

Hi Jackie;

Thanks so much for responding. It's a big help to hear from someone else

struggling with this, and I'd be interested in any other info you have.

Probably a psychiatrist would be a good idea. I also found a couple of websites

that were very helpful in explaining how to handle them. I probably should go

back and check those out again. I agree that pain and stress seem to be at

least the initial triggers. My husband also developed problems at the age of 55

when he had extreme pain from a foot operation. I've wondered about hereditary

factors as a great aunt of mine developed severe agrophobia, and my husband had

a cousin with problems. But to get it so late in life seems to suggest something

else as the cause. Mine seems to be tied to claustrophobia as well. When I

first got them I had switched jobs to one where I spent all day alone in a small

office with no window! Another person in our small office also started having

panic attacks. No wonder I was in a big hurry to take an

early retirement! It doesn't seem as though it's necessarily related to

Reiter's though, does it? although it would be interesting to know how many of

us have this problem as well. Perhaps it occurs more with flares because of the

pain.

Thanks again for getting back to me. I feel better already!

While seeking conciling through the Veteran's Administration (VA)

Hospital in Tucson, AZ which is a great facility by the way, I ended up

in marriage conciling with my wife. My therapist asked me if I knew I

was depressed and I said no. She said I was because all the signs were

there that I did not care to see. For example, I can play golf and used

to golf three to four days a week, now it's two to three days a month, I

am most comfortable at home and have stayed at home for weeks at a

time. Then when I go out of the house and into the public things seem

weird in my head like a dream like state, Methadone also does this to

me. I also suffer from panic attacks because of my Epilepsy. Instead

of living my life for the fun of it I am always doing the what if's.

While I am driving what if I have a seizure? I am on medication and

have been seizure free for years but it still sits in the back of my

mind. My panic attacks kick in the most when I am behind the wheel of a

vehicle. If I get onto a freeway forget about it. I have to drive I-10

to get to Tucson for about 50 miles. It's about 80 miles from my home

to the hospital for my appointments. When I drive to Phoenix alone to

visit my mom which is a 200 mile drive once I hit Tucson traffic and

Phoenix traffic I have to blast the AC, turn up the radio, and just

think about other things and I get through. Of course it helps to take

half a dose of my Valium while driving, it doesn't effect my driving but

does help relax me some what. I take 10MG Valium for my panic attacks

but when I get behind the wheel I don't want that much in my system. As

a matter of fact I had a dentist appointment and a diet clinic

appointment yesterday. We were coming home around 2PM when this semi

truck jack knifed and we actually stopped to a stand still in the hot

Arizona sun for TWO HOURS before they cleared the accident and allowed

us to continue. Thankfully someone ahead of us had ice so our hot water

was able to get cold. My wife thankfully was with me and after that

incident we have decided just in case it were to happen again we are

always taking a cooler with ice and bottled waters (imagine how much

money I could have sold ice cold bottle water to all those people

sitting in the hot sun waiting for the accident to clear up, by the way,

I am joking, I would gladly give it to those who needed but there are

people out there I am sure who would do this). So we got home two hours

later than expected but thankfully we made it home. The other thing I

was worried about as that as we were coming to a stop and I had just

made my post about my neck and injuries, I was praying to the lord that

we would not get rear ended or that any more accidents would happen.

Thankfully by the grace of god the truck driver was not injured.
