why is this coming back?
| Tue, 03-27-2007 - 3:57pm |
I have been on przac for about 5 months now, which seems like so much longer really. me and my therapist have discovered that most of my panic attacks occur when im on my cycle. So needless to say i had my period about 2 weeks ago for the first time in a few months since i was pregnant and had an abortion. I have had 2 periods since then and last months was fine i had one panic attack at dinner and that was it. but it seems like i just keep making myself panic. i think about it and i start to have those crazy symptoms all over again. i have been waking up more through out the night again so now i am taking my trazodone again. i dont understand why this is happeneing i mean i know it could be worse but why is this coming back.

Unfortunately, we never *know* why these attacks return :(

Sorry to hear this, Melissa): I have had slight setbacks/relapses, but with increased coping techniques have learned not to let them throw me. Have you asked your *t* to teach you relaxation & ways to divert your thoughts during an attack? That would be a start.
Also, since you know when you will be the most anxious, prepare by making more time for yourself & de-stressing. Avoid upsets & like Sheri Ann always says, eat a good diet with lots of fluids:) GL! (((hugs))) jan
