It was different than panic because it was constant/didn't get 'out of control'.it's pretty horrible, isn't it? what caused it to let up? was yours triggered by anything in particular?
>Did you have any changes recently in your >life/any events you can think of?
y'know, it actually started as soon as we arrived in our new country. i'm totally unobservant and often fail to take notice of the mind/body/environment link, so won't often piece things together. i often feel like my body's initiating changes independent of anything else.
anyway, it disappeared once i started taking neurontin to sleep. i've been withdrawing from the neurontin though, and as soon as i backed down to 300mg, it's reappeared.

I'm not sure if there really is a line between panic attacks and generalized anxiety...but it seems sort of like a continuous panic attack, doesn't it?yeah, it feels like constant panic that never explodes. i don't know about the generalized anxiety though because it's not accompanied by any worrying in particular. more by my OCD, but that's always there no matter what
