Panic Attack

[PatBateman3]

Anyone ever had one of these? I live in a high-rise building (42nd floor), and for some reason tonight, I was afraid of falling out of my apartment (not suicidal, just a certain fear that crept up, like bad thoughts or something).

I am on var and ECA's, and I have to think that it's the mix of VPX Redline, Yohimburn and Adipokinetix I took today.

I took a xanax to calm down and it's slowly working. This has only happenned to me once before, but I can't remember at the time what I was on. I'm 26, healthy, and never had any mental issues.

I thought this thread was an interesting read. Maybe my body is producing too much T3? I am going to stop the fat burners and just focus on the ox.

most likely, its the ephedrine. I use to take xenadrine with ephedra, and i developed anxiety disorder. I had to stop taking anything for like 2 years to get over it.

anxiety disorders.

all the stuff that you (we) put into our bodies can leave anyone chemically imbalanced.

anytime you fuck with your serotonin and dopamine levels, you're prone to anxiety. any sort of amphetemine has the potential to trigger a panic attack.

I hate to say it's my product, but it could be the Yohimburn if you used a lot. Just use it before training so it's gone in a couple hours.

eh, dullboy wouldn't blame your product per se any more than drinking a triple venti latte from starbucks. anytime we artificially speed up our metabolism, the pituitary gland freaks a bit.


it's important to remember that this is a normal reaction. no matter how abnormal it makes a person feel.

yohimbine hcl is a MAO inhibitor and can cause a panic attack at high doses. It usually very short, 10 minutes or so, because of the short half life.

I had the exact same thing happen to me when I used to hold my baby boy, I would get a panic attack when I came to a ledge of a balacony or something and I would be afraid I would drop him. Really weird, but again, our bodies have so many chemicals running through them it is hard to determine what it might be sometimes.

I agree with Ulter's analysis. Yohimbe is not for everyone, the damn stuff makes me about half nuts, even when only used sparingly. . .sweaty palms, racing heart, anxiety, etc.
