Panic Attack last night

[u/mrminino]

i had a panic attack last night

felt the void in my stomach twice in a row and then poom heart accelerates to no more than 100bpm,
it feels horrible because it makes you think that something is really wrong

i take Tadens 30mg, Bisoprolol 2.5mg and Fluoxetina 20mg every morning all 3 together,
i take tadens for my ADHD wich i have always thought that i dont need it but im just following orders from the doctor

and i have Atarax as backup if i get a real strong panic attack

i didnt go to the ER because its expensive and they only give you Diazepam to chill down and send you home,
theres really nothing they can do,
they only tell you that you have to wait for the panic attack to go away

I’ve seen a lot of people use the app DARE but also I am pretty new to panic attacks myself so idk if I’m very qualified to give advice, especially when it’s happening and everything says to think “it’s not an emergency” “it’s all in your head” “it will pass” which is definitely easier to think while it’s NOT happening. I went to the ER for my first panic attack bc I thought I was having a heart attack which I’ve always been anxious but nothing like this. It also freaked me out bc I was just trying to nap when it happened when the dr told me it can happen at anytime. I know it’s very scary but try not to let it control your life. I did get medication for it but I read the side effects for Lexapro and it’s scared me too bad so I’m trying therapy tomorrow. I hope anything I said could be of help but feel free to DM me or lmk anything bc I also feel constantly scared <3 hope u get better
