anxiety attacks are back

after months of no anxiety/panic attacks, they've made a screaming comeback. i'm hoping that it's just a result of the lower dose of seroquel that has brought it about. that can be remedied easily w/ a phone call to pdoc. they started last night and i can't figure out why. i wasn't stressed, in fact i wasn't even home. my eldest dd and i went away yesterday and had a great day! as soon as we got back to camp, they started. tdoc and i discussed this today and came up with the possible link of the seroquel, because along with the anxiety and panic attacks, the paranoia is back. which is why i think i had the attacks last night and one a little while ago. i'm going to try again tonight to sleep ~ looks like i'm back to the trazodone until i get this worked out.


at times i just love bp!............not!

(((((Traci))))),


Here's to hoping that the new outbreak is a result of either the Seroquel or a momentary glitch in the BP universe and that a good night's sleep helped!

I have anx and PA too, last week was NOT fun in that dept for me at all. We've kind of narrowed it down that a big trigger fo me is loss of control...like being around my somewhat dominant though loving parents, when my kids are away, etc. I hope your meds work, I know those two for me sure settle me down, for DAYS, LOL. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that the panic attacks are back ((((((traci)))))). I know how that goes. I too have just started having them more frequently again. I haven't since... I can't even remember when they were this bad. Thank god they aren't as bad as when I was in HS. I was having them every day many times a day most of the time.

Hope that things get straightened around quickly.

Hugs and love,

thank you all for your support. i'm calling pdoc now to see what we can work out. hopefully that's all it'll take. these things are uncomfortable as all get out. i hate them and want them to end.


i'm not even sure what triggered this latest round, as i was not stressed about anything when they started again. my paranoia is back, not as bad as it was, but i'm wondering if that's what triggered the attacks. and if so, is the paranoia back because of the tapering down from the seroquel. which is why i'm calling pdoc. i want to get a handle, if i can, on this before the weekend. otherwise, it's going to be a very long weekend.


i'll keep y'all posted. thanks again for the support.


hugs,
