Panic Attack during the night
Posted , 8 users are following.
Morning ,won't say Good Morning , having tossed and turned during the night , nothing unusual there ! I then had a massive panic attack ,intense feeling of fear ,heart racing feeling of being unable to cope generally ! Have been going through a bout of depression which I get periodically ,take 10mg Seroxat for anxiety ,been on it for about 15 yrs and up until now generally well controlled panic attacks ,nothing like this ,the intense fear ( but of what ) is terrifying and the feeling of losing control , just wondering does anyone else have these sorts of panic attacks , and if so how do you overcome it , am 50 and perimenopausal ( I think) ,also a close friend died suddenly recently and I have been supporting his wife ,think this may have exacerbated the depression ,find it all so hard !

they told me it was a severe anxiety attack...it would pass....well it didn't although I haven't had one for a few weeks. A doctor told me your hormone levels can drop drastically at night and then u get a surge but other stress in life can make it worse so obviously with what you are going through with ur friend could be adding to it. When it happens to me I have to get up as trying to get through it in bed doesn't help. Xx

Yes I have had severe panic attacks myself where I take 2mgs of ativan a day 1/2 as needed.Â
Yes they are scary because they just come out of the blue just like people who have seizures.Â
Just hang in there things will get better.Â
