i have been under tremendous stress for the last year.......3 deaths, 4 jobs and many breakups with bf's. I am recently stricken with bad panic attacks and migraines, actually my head pain brings on my panic................this is so hard to deal with sometimes. Anyone out there going through it? I swear that the only thing that will take my head pain away is vicodin and ativan for my panic.........i understand that people abuse these drugs ......but what about us who really need them.......and seriously cry myself to sleep without some relief.........trust me i have tryed everything else........I have asked God to heal me and I know he will but it is hard to deal with the intense pain and fear i get...........can anyone relate ......i sure could use a friend in this matter. At least someone who knows what its like to panic so bad and feel like you are going to die....or your head hurts so bad you feel like your brain is going to explode........................I would love to make some friends in this forum that know what panic attacks are .......as well as head pain.......
Hi! I have been having headaches lately, not migranes, but yes they bring on panic attacks for me too. I just keep thinking what if Im having an anyurism. I know it not true but my mind keeps thinking that. Im 26, so I doubt anything is wrong other then stress. I have also been through a few deaths one being my father. It really takes a toll on a person. I developed these panic attacks about 3 years after he died. It was out of the blue and scared the crap out of me. Try and relax, if you need the meds, take them. Your not abusing them, your getting releif from them. There is nothing wrong with that.
Wyoma, welcome to your family of friends, we are here for you, vdubgurl is right, if you need the meds to help you with your panic than maybe you should take them, I have been on xanax and paxil everyday since January and believe me I feel so much better. I was a complete mess before, I have had the same symptoms as you. You wont abuse what you need.
