waves of adrenaline

[mrworry40]

Hi everyone, i am having a really bad weak, I suffer from anxiety which in turn can cause me to have pvc's. This weak though i have been having severe panic attacks with waves of adreniline, sweating and feeling of craziness. Almost went to the ER a couple of times but no better. I ask my doctor to put me back on lexapro and it seems it is starting to help me a little bit. Does anybody get similiar symptoms as these just so i can calm myself down? I.E. i am under a lot of stress right now i am going to school almost full time and working full time and a new baby on the way. Thank

This is one of my main symptoms as well, great way to describe it "wanttomanage", it does feel like tingling liquid. My is accompanied by a super nervous stomach and nausea. I get these tingly, creepy crawlys on my scalp as well.

I am also on Lexapro, and have been for about a year. I will be meeting with a new Dr. in a month or so to talk about switching or perhaps increasing, we'll see. I am just still so nervous, not a lot of attacks, but daily symptoms and constant nervousness, it never seems to go away. So something is still happening in my crazy system. Though I still suffer each day, I do feel as though I have accepted, I don't really fight it anymore, it is just an annoying feeling, and I want to feel normal again. I am able to go on with my normal day to day routines, and suffer through it. There was a scary time where I began to close myself into the house, but thank goodness, I have gotten past that stage.

Best Wishes to you!
Kristine

Hi -- I know exactly how you feel -- rushing adrenaline that just won't stop and a feeling of craziness are the two main symptoms I get when I have panic attacks.  It feels like I have a tingling liquid running under my skin in my arms, hands, chest, back, and thighs.  It can make my blood pressure spike really high.  

I have been taking Lexapro for about 10 weeks now.  I started at 10 mg and am now up to 20 mg and it's definitely helping.

Best of luck with your stressful schedule -- just remember that things will eventually calm down!
