Hello,
I've been a panic sufferer who was in remission but now my body is again playing tricks on me. I'm having really weird physical feelings inside my head and they're really freaking me out. I'm also extremely nauseous and tense. I take 200mg of serzone, which I've been on for a number of years. Just want to know if anyone has really awful physical head feelings and pointers on how to lessen them.
Thanks, all.

I had this sort of thing when I was on Serzone, but then Serzone also made it impossible for me to eat, too. If you've tolerated it well up to now, it's unlikely to be the cause I would think.
Other than making sick jokes about doing my Mike Ditka impression, all I can suggest about easing the sensations is relaxation exercises. I guess they'll only work if you're getting them independant of the meds. Talk to your doctor, though.
Good luck.

Gene,
Right between the eyes? My explosions culminate into moderate to violent jerks, Gene. There is pressure between my eyes that builds and builds. The pressure can also just sustain itself for long periods of time without the exploding jerk. It reminds me of what it is like to get water in my sinuses after swimming or maybe migraines.
My body at it's worst, feels as if it has been injected with poison; a real sickly feeling.
If this is what it is like for you, I cannot biologically tell you what is awry. I have not found out myself. I just know that it happens.
I have been diagnosed with an extreme anxiety disorder. But at this time, I do not have an exact name for it. I have had symptoms for years but did not do anything about it or doctors did not know, you know. And the pressure on the head was there, as well, along with other things, Gene, but not as severe as today. I thought my body was just shutting off and perhaps, I was dieing, somehow. Aren't we all. But I never died, so, I just lived with it as I do, now. But, do be careful, as my doctor which I went to see today, [it took a lot of courage on my part to go see him as I do not want to admit it but I am mentally ill and am just beginning to understand what that truly means] told me that since I do not do well on drugs, that I have to find something else such as bio feedback, etc., because if I do not, IT IS JUST GOING TO GET WORSE and that could mean anything.
I do not really have panic attacks like you had, Gene, which must be very embarassing as well as uncomfortable. It is more like I am on one wild and crazy roller coaster ride all the time. My vision and hearing are effected. People do have to watch my eyebrows going up and down though. I just laugh at that now. Just think what muscles, I am building.
. . .heres to hoping that your pressure is different and for some other reason all together.

I rarely get headaches but I did have strange feeling in the back of my head when I was on risperdal. I'm not taking it now and it's gone but I really think you should inform your doctor and see what he or she can do for you. It could be unrelated to your panic disorder or related. It does sound serious enough to check out, though.
