I also take Clonazepam, 2 tabs per day.  Do not even attempt to try to turn it into an intravenous med.  You will kill yourself.  Instead please go back to your doctor and explain your situation and ask for a second benzo diazapine to be added.  Some like Valium would work well for you as it is long acting like Clonazepam.  If your doctor will not do this then find a doctor who will.  Take care!!

You should talk to your psychiatrist about this. It sounds like you may need to switch from Lorazepam to Klonopin. I'm also on Effexor, 220mgs. It gets better with the increase in dosage.

I'm currently taking 45mg of temazepam every evening (I have a chronic condition)  Works great for me!  Doesn't leave you with a "hang over" and I seem to have no problem staying asleep for 6.5 - 8 hours.  If you are struggling with insomnia, it might help for you to set an evening routine.  Warm shower, watch a particular show, take your meds (about half an hour before bed) and go to bed.  Please do not drive or operate anything until you know how the meds effect you.

If it's really bad, you could talk to your doctor and he could give you something to take the edge off. I'm not really sure how I do it. I just take a long deep breath, and just do it, like pretending that I'm not afraid at all. After a while, I don't have to pretend anymore.

I not only do this during the day but at night also.  I esp think of the past, relationships gone bad and wonder why i cant let go of it.  And i go over and over the things i need to do etc.  I tried for a long time to just think of something else etc, of course that would lead to other racing, worrying thoughts, its called acute anxiety disorder.  Of course the doctors have labeled yet another disorder!!!What to do?  Medicine oh yes they will prescribe it, but its only a temp fix and doesnt always work. So, I recently talked to my doc and i am going to now start counseling.  Obviously, we have to much going on in our brains to deal with while were awake,unlike most, but we are letting to much from our pasts go.  Leaving it to spill over into our daily lives, causing alot of anxiety. Honestly, i am a bit nervous about going, but, what the hell do i have to lose, more sleep. lol.  So, it does make sense to me that i have some things i need to resolve from days gone by.. \n\nJust my thoughts, good luck

first of all you should go see a mental health doctor. they can diagnos you if you do in deed have a.d.d. my son was diagnosed at 5 yr old and is now 11 years old . its nothing to be ashamed of.. no matter what people say...he took meds for almost 5 years and now does not . . he is a very senitive ,bright, energetic.creative and very smart.but he struggles every day.its nothing to be scared of its not a disease..it just means you have to focus and work harder . thats all. if you end up on meds and you feel drugged or doped -up  . tell your doctor because that means its not the right medicine for you.there are lots of meds on the market 1 of them is bound to work for you if you and your mom decide to go that route.. hope ive helped

Hi, I am sorry to hear this.  You didn't state if this has always happened to you or not?!  If it is something new you are experiencing then I would really speak to a Doc.  Sometimes a load of stress in other areas of your life can make you heart race and do funny things.  It isn't uncommon to have panic attacks when stressed or nervous.  There are probably a lot of options out there to help you with out taking meds. I would really talk to your family doctor as soon as you can, just to make sure there isn't something majorly wrong.  Take Care of yourself and remember you are the best judge of yourself and what you need.  Sending you lots of smiles :) :) :)

If you suffer from panic disoreder,associated with anxiety as far as I can get from your info,I would say the prescribed medications,namely Trazadone is not a good remedy.There are a lot of other possible and adequate drugs dealing with panic,and giving a satisfying long-term results.I have no idea why specialist still prescribe too often Xanax! Bear in mind that medication goes to addiction and it must be taken only as a temporary remedy!So I strongly advice you to see some other psychiatrist,and good effects are achieved for your condition,with the combination of SSRI antidepressants(Zoloft is good),and additional antipsichotic drug if needed.Go ahead and find a good shrink!Wish you luck!

Panic attacks are very scary, the first one especially because you're not sure what is happening. The first time I had one I thought I was going to die and I was so scared. I was laying in bed one night and it just came over me; my heart started beating really fast and I had trouble breathing so I just laid there, very still and started to control my breathing - long, slow inhales through my nose and long, slow exhales through my mouth. Eventually my body calmed down and I felt normal again. \n\nI did some research the next day online and talked to a few friend and he told me what was happening. Knowledge was power in my case. I had a more, but I was able to calm myself down. I eventually went to my doctor because after my attacks I would have a lot of pain in my chest. She gave me a perscription for Effexor, an anti-depressant, but I didn't really want to take them - I had control over my panic attacks, control over my depression and I just didn't see how this pill was going to help me.\n\nThat was probably 3 or 4 years ago and since that summer I've only had maybe 5 panic attacks, and they were very short ones because once I could feel them kick in I tackled the situation and was able to calm myself down. A lot of relief came from distracting myself with music or doing work on a graphic art project I was working on at the time. Distraction helps A LOT.\n\nI think people jump to medication way too quickly - it's too easy to pop a pill. Knowing what was going on and knowing what was causing my panic attacks is what really helped me, but everyone is different and I suppose there are cases where the only help is medication. I just think that getting to the root of the problem and taking the necessary steps to quell one's anxiety is a much more beneficial method - it will make the person stronger mentally and emotionally and pills don't always work.\n\nMind over matter. \n\nI hope this helps whomever this "question" was directed towards. I just wanted to share my experience.

Sounds like the cocaine triggered a panic disorder. I get mild cases of these if i smoke weed sometimes. Takes a couple days for me to recover. Time should help. Continue with the meds and maybe take up meditation. Good luck man, I wouldn't wish panic disorder on my worst enemy.

Please call your doctor tomorrow and tell the person who answers the phone that prozac gives you nightmares.\n\nDO NOT JUST SUFFER THROUGH THIS.  Take action.  Please.

id say alot of herbal supplements. You can usually ask them at the vitamin stores.I expierience the same exact condition, and have tried that route. Unfortunately it diddnt word for me! I take a pill called kolonopin .05mg. Its the least strongest of the dose and works fine. I dont get groggy, and it helps take the edge off. Maybe if the natural method doesnt work for you , you can talk to your dr. There are alot of medicines tha dont make you feel like your on another planet! or drowsy! I even tried yoga. but i have 2 kids, im 26, and just got into 2 car accidents that limit my mobility. No dancing for me lately! and this is vegas!! good luck. And dont let it make you think your crazy, just overwhelmed at the moment!!

This is most likely a panic attack.  They can be very scary, but don't worry - you're not dying!  If they only happen to you during things like scary movies, then there's nothing to worry about.  The only thing you can do is - stop watching those kinds of movies!\n\nHowever, if you feel the same sensations (which can also include changes in your vision, light-headedness, tingling extremeties, etc.) in other areas of your life, then seek help.  Usually panic or anxiety attacks are caused by stress in your life.  In my experience, you can ease the frequency and severity of the attacks with regular exercise, plenty of sleep, and a good friend to talk things out with.  If these things don't help, then there are some very good, non-addictive prescription drugs out there that can make you feel 'normal' again, should the attacks become more severe.\n\nIt's not uncommon to feel anxiety - you're not alone!

stop scaring the poor lass.\ngo to a doctor, and be honest. tell him/her how you feel. mood swings, your appetite, how well you sleep, stuff like that.  they're not going to do a whole lot, maybe just check your blood sugar and ask about your periods.\nif they think you have a mental problem, they will probably start you off on a mild anti-depressant and work up from there.\ntrust me folks, it is surprisingly easy to get prescriptions from doctors.

It sounds like classic panic attacks.  Tell your Doctor exactly what you said here.  He will be able to prescribe a mild tranquilizer which will do wonders for you.  I`m taking Ativan for the same thing as you described.  As time goes on I find that I am taking it less and less.

Hello there! I know how you feel as I have a fiancee with same problem. However, he is on therapy for something much worse so he also treated social anxiety....for a bit.....but i read a lot about it to be able to understand him and help him....all I can say now he is back to his university :), he is so much better!!! Definitly if you can, go to therapy it really helps, and you have to keep yourself in contact with social events so you don't get rasty too much :) as fear tends to grow in our minds for the things we are afraid of, and we are afraid of the things we don't know. So force yourself into it, and you will see after some time you will have more confidence, and you will see that it's not so scary as it seemed. In my "research" to help my fiancee I found this site that could be of a great help to you as well. It's a forum where you can chat with people with same problems as yours, just to know you are not alone...maybe you find out much more about your fear through them and their posts. www.socialanxietysupport.com\nGood luck!
