Jessica,

You are still in your post-partum phase. Your hormones are all over the place. Take care of yourself, don’t get freaked out about your medication if you need it. Let it help you – when you are ready to discontinue it, do it slowly and under your doctor’s care.

Take care

I am 20 yrs old and just gave birth to my first son in january. A week after having him i started experiencing horrible anxiety. I mean full blown attacks that lasted hrs. And would happen everyy night. I would stick my head out my window to breathe, thats how bad. Finally i seen my dr and was diagnosed with post partum depression. I was perscribed xanax and lexapro. Xanax just put me to sleep after i took it and the lexapro gave me headaches everyday and also gave me dry mouth. So i got switched to khlonopin and cymbalta. Cymbalta made me worse so now im on prozac. Khlonopin i will say works wonders. I dont know why im always so anxious. Ive had a serious of tests done and everythings came back normal so im sure its just my mindset. I would like to be off all the medications because they are so addicting. But at this point i dont think i could come off of them

Hi there. I used to frequent this board all of the time (Jill can attest). Let me share that you are not stuck, doomed or any of the doomed thoughts you are feeling. Generally when someone is having a lot of anxiety, it means they have weak adrenal glands. You find out by a saliva test – NOT the blood test in a doctors office. Once my adrenals were healing, my anxiety vanished. Go see a Naturopath doctor or a Functional Medicine doctor. Panic/Anxiety have to do with physical weaknesses in the body – not a ‘mental illness’. I feel it’s a crime what happened to me w/ Klonopin and the medical community – I went through hell. Educate yourself and take your life back.

i was a free bird before my first panic attack. I was almost a strongest by my minds. But dont know why did it found me when i was 19 and took away my life since that day.
I was extremely frightened , freaked , my heart bounced every millisecond , i felt like it will burst into pieces and take my life away. this feeling freaked me more and i got an extreme sensations in the center of the brain , i felt i am getting sroke or something else. All this ended after 15 minutes, but leaved a strong imprint on my life. I am facing the worst condition of my life and dying everday.

please let me know if anybody got this strong sensations in the center of the head during the full blown , extreme panic attack.
