having panic attacks.

[mystikal star]

Yesterday I started my anti depressant medicine after being threatened to be thrown into a hospital. I took it around 11AM and around 7PM or so I started feeling panicky. My chest felt heavy and weak. My throat felt like it was closing up andI had to breathe harder to get air, but even then I still felt like I wasn't getting enough air. Now today it's even worse. I have the craps. Not diarhhea but it's soft and I've already gone 5 times and it feels like I need to go again. I'm peeing more too. And I'm having this panic stuff again today, only it's worse. My heart is pounding and it feels like my blood turned cold. Then at one point I got nauseous. I'm worried that maybe it's not a panic attack. Maybe the medicine is doing something to my body? The medicine is Luvox and I'm on 50MG's right now and after fourteen days I go to 100MG's a day. Does whatI described sound like a panic attack? I've had this happen before but they stopped and now that I'm on this medicine its happening again--worse than before. What do you all think?

It kind of sounds like anxiety to me, not a full blown panic attack, but, of course, I don't know for sure. It very well could be the meds too. Maybe check with your doctor to be on the safe side? Hope you feel better. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

It couldve been ur body gettin used to the meds, it couldve been just a panic attack... ur probably worried about the side affects of the meds and that may be making u feel anxious and result in a panic attack. When im nervous or anxious i pee a lot lol!!! Hope you feel better soon, if u dont then go se ur doctor.

It probably is your emet but it could be your meds.....if it is your meds think about it this way, if you haven't v*ed yet in the first 24 hours of it taking effect, you probably won't!


And also be very proud of yourself because you are brave enough to try the meds....I can't and thats a really bad thing...


Keep us posted. Maybe one day I'll try them myself!
