I have had several mini attacks today, I take xanax for them, but today after I took it it was like a head rush! My whole body started to feel hot and I got real shaky. Felt like my chest was going to blow up, very scary feeling. They have stopped now but boy am I wiped out. I haven't experienced that feeling before after taking my xanax, anyone else have that happen?
I have these attacs and I can stop thinking about them but reading your comments make you feel grate :)

heyo, i know what you mean like, my thoughts keep racing in my mind and it gets me really agitated and i start to panic and get depressed alot. it's really hard to keep those thoughts out and it's even harder to find someone to talk to.
hey, i can relate to you. this time i got this really bad anxiety attack and also had to call the ambulance i also thought i was dying after that happened i,ve just had these really bad hest pains really bad!!! i also get these feelings with my breath i just feel like i have no air.and like you i hide it really good i get these mini attacks to but i just try to get busy or what i do is drink some water. my drs have also recomended therapy i just don't c it working though, i've had like 5 types of medications and nothing, what i do is try to keep busy but sometimes thats just not possible they recomende this book called"hope and help for your nerves" i haven't tried it yet but i just got recomended to it and iv'e seen the book reviews and it seems to help im going to buy the book so if you do 2 let me know how it works out.
Botcho is right I use this and my family as my therapy. To read others experiences try some ideas that have worked for others and see if they work for me. Just talking to people here who understand what we go through. Also family members or friends who are willing to listen and be objective not rude like the old saying just get over it. We know it's not that easy. I have learned when I am by myself and a panic starts to come on to challenge it and show it and yourself that you are not afraid of it or the way it makes you feel. In time my panics have become fewer and farther between and I feel a little bit closer to normal. Hope this helps you and remember were usually always here to talk to.
I am a huge advocate for therapy! Therapy in combination with meds has helped me tremendously. I have no intentions of staying on my meds long term, but I will continue with therapy forever if I need too. It is really nice to be able to talk with someone about everyday stresses! Give it a try! You might be surprised!
It is a daily battle. I feel your pain, I really do. Talking with someone really helps. Therapy is a great aid in treating, or making the symptoms less of a problem. I am a strong supporter of it. When I started I did not think that I needed to talk to someone. I really thought it was something that I could beat on my own. I have come a long way, but it was therapy over the meds that really helped me.
