Kathryn-
I had a similar experience on Sunday...and what you described is right on...it absolutely SUCKS to have to revisit those feelings...heres what I'm doing..i realize that I have been running myself ragged lately and that is probably what brought on the attack..so its time for me to just reprioritize and take care of myself like i did a couple of months ago when i was beginning on lexapro..and i think that if i do that, and get back to basics..that i will be feeling good again real soon..and i hope you will too..

But it was horrible to revisit the irrational thinking, pounding heart and feelings of unreality that accompany a panic attack. I'll call my pdoc about it on Monday.
