Just had a breakdown/panic attack

[Austin316]

Never happened like that before, I totally lost it, broke down, couldn't breathe, when i got breaths in it was very fast uncontrolled, felt like I was going to hyperventalate, heart rate shot up, lasted for a looon 8 minutes and now Im just a mess chest hurts now...I can't deal with this crap anymore, I don't know what to do, anyone else get these? What did you do?

 

[MrMuscle]

yes i have. but not in a couple of years now. i learned to meditate, and it never happend again. Talk to Wodin about meditation, it will change your life.

 

[BigBazooka]

i learned to masturbate, and it never happend again. Talk to Wodin about masturbation, it will change your life.

 

[Taps]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: talk to your doctor.

Posting about it on an internet chat board isn't going to do a damn thing, and you know it.

You know I respect you man, but grow the fuck up and take some responsability for your life. This shit has being going on a long time, you HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. Nobody here is going to be able to help you.

Talk to you doctor. Sorry for being harsh.

 

[Natymike]

you sure it was a panic attack? You on roids??

could of been something more serious, tell a doctor, especially since your chest is hurting.

Had an 8+ hour one on Saturday morning-- had to have my parents come and get me. If it happens again and is out of control, go to urgent care. They'll usually give you a valium shot or something along those lines.

If it's an ongoing problem they can put you on someting long-term to help cut the anxiety.

 

[VooDoo Lady]

Pray...Austin316....pray.

 

[dballer]

You are kinda young for this shit.. this kind of stuff always happens to you.

You might need to start smoking pot.

 

[growin']

Meditate, masterbate, and medicate. Talk to your doc man.

 

[HighIntensity]

bro kind of like what taps said but not as harsh...got to find a way out, kill the demons once and for all if you can...and ride into happiness. I know its easier said then done, but fuck we all hit lows in life...life has kind of hit a skid for me as well, but I try to have faith and solace that the great plan for me is in effect...
head these words-

its a long road bro

 

[Lao Tzu]

I take xanax when i get those. It sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't.

However, ever since i solved the big problem in my life, i don't get panic attacks anymore.

 

[dballer]

good idea.. use drugs like xanax or heroin to ease the pain. Yes. it is addictive.. but it is also effective.

or you could just suck it up. either way.. look at the bright side.. at least you are not Omega.

 

[NYguy]

Considering pot increases your heart rate, thats probably not such a good idea.

 

[p0ink]

get some xanax man. it will level you out and get you REALLY fucked up if you drink on them

 

[polarpixie]

I just get a hold of myself and try to slow my breathing down. There is always the brown paper bag trick, I've never tried taht tho. As for the xanax people are telling to take Austin, talk to your doctor first, avoid it if you can because it really is highly addictive.

 

[Raina]

Xanax is fabulous.

 

[addickt]

Seriously-- I would try some some long acting benzos to take the edge off...

Versed is a good choice, in VERY small doses... Otherwise it causes a hypnotic state..... (Which is sometimes nice in itself)

Xanax is a more appropriate choice if it works though

 

[Raina]

But some of us need more than just a little versed to feel it...

I think your endorphins were just overloading your brain and blocked the effects of the versed.

Either that or I'm just invinsible.

 

[Raina]

Why are so many of you young people taking xanax?

I lost 20 pounds in less than a month from stress after a break up almost 2 months ago. I wasn't sleeping, eating, or functioning. They knocked my as out and I slept for a few days-- now I just have xanax to settle me down when I flip out for no reason.

 

[Austin316]

It was wierd, I had levaled out and tried to go to sleep when it just hit me hard as hell...It could be do to the imbalance one might get comming off fina or winny if there is an imbalance there, and Im on clen so Im a little edgy...FUck though this was not something I could control it just fucking hit me like a ton of bricks, I just upped my dose of effexor 3 days ago so mabe that will kick in..Fuck I don't know

 

[toga22]

Austin, you need to go and see a doctor. First off to find out if these really are only anxiety attacks, and second to learn how to overcome and deal with them when they occur. Maybe medicine will be the best way...but let a doctor check you out.
Go and see one of the on-campus doctor's if nothing else.

I agree with DOT 100%, life gets a lot more complicated as you get older.


Take Care of yourself, Sweetie!!

[Austin316]

Ive been talking to my doc, last time he just said I should up my meds...and I had not had a panic attack for a month and a half, still depression but not the other...Last night it was set off by I dunno, nothing really it just happened

 

[WODIN]

You taking any nolva or Clomid? It's more than likely the clambutteroil.

 

[Austin316]

nope because Im still on Equpose, however clomid is around the corner and right now I don't think thats a good thing lol

 

[WODIN]

I thought one of those might have lead you into the physical aspect of your P.A. Anyway...Try meditative breathing for a while.

Just take very deep breaths through your nose and focus on your breathing cycle all the way from the inhale to the exhale. Try that for about five minutes and see how you feel. The key is to focus your mind on your breathing and let your mind just kind of wander but keep your focus.

 

[Austin316]

clomid could prove to be hell

Ill try that Wodin, hopefully I remember when Im going into one cuz ur mind kinda freaks out and stuff

I've never really gotten bitchy on clomid. You've been stressing too much of some stuff too of late. Take the long view.

Very true. With all due respect man, talk to some real people. Fuck trying to work out your problems on here, with a lot of people who don't give two shits about you in real life.

 

[danielson]

can your doctor recommend a good councillor? im told they can be quite helpful

 

[casavant]

No offense to those on here who really are trying to help. Y 'all know what I'm saying though.

 

[Austin316]

I talk to people about it, dif is some I don't wanna tell certain things to and Im not real close to anyone anymore, got friends just not real close ones, well one but hes out of state currently, thats about it

addendum: was it the result of being a complete asshole to someone last night? you should be embarassed.

 

[Austin316]

It was my first attack in 2 months and was unprepared, at the time I was ok till I attempted sleep....Im quitting clen now actually do to the fact it has me edgy and could of been a contributer

BTW, of whom do u refer Al?

i do this after i work out. its a great way to stop yourself from buzzing...

 

[Austin316]

another thing Al, no being the ass I was was not a contributing factor to me lying there and the next second feeling like Im drowning under water and like someone kicked me in the stomach causing me to double over and going into some wierd thing, I really have no idea why it did

 

[wyst]

I agree. Breathing and meditation can help a lot. I do the breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth thing and count my breaths. I'm usually quite a bit better by the time I get to 100 breaths. But then again, I've never had attacks bad enough to cause chest pain, or needed any particular meds. But then again, maybe it's the meditation techniques that explain this.

Good luck!

Some of us are more responsible than that. I only take xanax when i am having a panic attack, so i am not addicted to it. I use about 1-2mg of it 3-4x a month. In the midst of a severe panic attack it can be quite useful.


Austin-
Do i have this right? you are taking equipoise & clenbuterol right now? they are probably the main culprit both cause anxiety.

 

[Austin316]

Yes but I stopped taking clen and will not use it again till at least summer when Im usually not nearly as stressed, just 2 more weeks of eq then Im done

 

[Lao Tzu]

That is probably one of the main causes of your anxiety then. Simultaneously taking 2 drugs that cause anxiety being taken by someone with a disposition for anxiety.

 

[bm2k]

I don't have much experience with this kind of thing, so all I can say is keep your head up and hang in there

 

[VicTusDeuS]

Forget the meds, most of them cause you to become dependant on them. You dont need that. Seeing a doctor is a good idea but get away. Shut off the computer, cut class for a few days, take off from work whatever. Just go on a trip by yourself away from everything you are used to. Find the adventure within youself. Go get lost in the woods or something. Nothing else matters. just you. Be yourself, go live your life. It's all you. But get away..Or see a doc...

I do, I had shit bothering me and it just kept building until one day I couldnt take it anymore. I was like a fat hungry pregnant lady with PMS on steroids. I was just comming off of cycle and my anger about alot of things mixed with depresion just broke me. I took off and didnt tell anyone where I went. I was gone for 3 days. Although it didnt solve any of my problems I felt alot better, I just had to get away from it all and take a few breaths and catch up to myself. Being away from everything by yourself kinda helps you sort things out..

Interesting advice. I find that whenever I get away and spend a bit of time alone, thinking, free from distractions, I tend to come back feeling a lot better about myself and a lot happier...

You've just got to be Like A Jedi my man.

 

[musclebrains]

You are describing classic depression with underlying anxiety, probably not panic-anxiety disorder itself.

You should be taking a med for depression and one to reduce anxiety.

Honestly, though I've not seen any research, it's hard for me to imagine that the use AS wouldn't aggravate anxiety and I don't know how that would affect necessary dosages. LIkewise, coming off AS frequently seems to cause some depression, meaning that too could be aggravated by cycling.

I have a client who was doing very well on some meds for depression and within two weeks of starting a cycle, he was a nutcase again. He had to make a choice about whether to talk openly with my consulting psychiatrist about his AS use or go off cycle. (He chose the latter.)

I hope you have a doctor -- a psychiatrist, not a gp -- with whom you can talk openly about your AS use. The typical gp knows very little about the more complicated aspects of antidepressant/anxiety drugs.
