In reply to Night Terrors or Panic Attacks? Medications?, posted by karenR on April 17, 2001, at 11:38:08
Karen,
Hi girl.. that sounds upsetting. You said this happens weekly/or monthly. Is there a pattern that you've noticed, ie.. things you did that certain day, the time of your cycle, etc? Maybe you can keep a little journal on that part.... see if there is a connection to something else.Medically speaking.... I get occasional panic attacks.... Not an everyday thing.. as it sounds like yours is.... but I take a xanax.... right on the onsight.... and knocks it right out. Seeing that your having yours in the middle of sleep sounds disturbing... because I have basically learned how to control the symtoms of these.. breathing excersises, etc. But I guess I wouldn't be able to do this is I was half asleep. Thats rough.
Anyway.... xanax helped me greatly.... to the point where I don't even have them anymore. May have just jinxed myself.... and no longer need to take the xanax.... my humble opinion. Hopefully you'll get some more responses..... there are some incredibly bright people on here. Good luck. Michele
