when this happens what do we use any recommendations on coping this could be anywhere, is there anything your dr has prescribed.
also dose stress/panic make you less mobile almost freeze. or want to run.

Lorazepam works very quickly, though can have some adverse side effects (amnesia, lowered inhibitions, 'hangover'). Try 1mg

Hi,
I'm on dosulepin (25mg at the moment) for stress and anxiety....... only 2 weeks in though so I'm no sure whether it's kicked in or not. I have been sleeping better, but then the last two nights I've really struggled to get to sleep (feel like a zombie today) and the anxiety I used to feel first thing in the morning has reduced a lot.
Panic makes me want to run and hide, I struggle in public places as I feel there's nowhere to go if I start to get anxious.

diazepam, but its bloody addictive
-
my Dr will only give it me when i ask for it 30 at a time, he says it;s a Bitch to get off, i take one at night and one about dinner time but for me stress is all around and the firm i used to work for are everywhere, so when i see the vans gear a advert on the radio or anything to do with them i stress out, as they are a nasty bunch of guys en girls with me to this very day.
to be honest i have never played the depressing card through my solicitor because i did not know i had mental health problems, but stress brings on my pain and at meeting i had with them i was clamped up in agony, also when i went to see any of there DR's especially after one of them told me to committee suicide.

Diazepam 5mg. I probably take one every other couple of days if that. To be honest 5mg barely touches me but 10mg would probably mong me out. I just try to rationalise and deep breath, or even distract myself with music or the games console.

I have a tigers eye stone i play with in my hand. Its always on me. and it focus's the fear into one place till i get get up and sort myself out. I mean i am on Diazepam and a few others. But i do still get the odd panic attack. Due to the fact i never go anywhere that people dont know me. Most shops have experienced my panic attack. Once i tried to get into the freezer at the supermarket. They just let me do it and went and got my mum. Took me out the back for a cuppa tea.

Doctor tell me they are addictive, they have suggested i have PTSD which is why i panic, not a blind panic but night sweats, hypersensitive vigilance, remembering every detail, and always thinking about what happened, my therapist said to me the other week, with a rash of realization "my god this is going to continue for you even after the case has gone to court" he thought it would all end after the case, get some closure, for me it's an everyday living hell.

That sound far to familiar, although one idiot suggest I just drop the case and everything will be fine after that. Barely kept it together and I had to leave right after that comment.
I'm sure some of these people don't have a clue what we go through.

Diazepam usually does the trick with me, but it's bloody addictive so my honest advice would be to steer clear. I find relaxation helps when I'm in a calm state. But nobody can know what each of us go through its bad enough when your own families cant cope with what we feel, people who have no love for you at all, well they just won't unless they have someone close to them who feels the same, its a shame but it's true. Also when I'm in places where Im in conversation with others, If I get asked things such as how was your weekend, I keep it short like "yeah was good" and then ask them "what about yours" and on most occasions they want to tell you there life story to which you can pretend to listen or not, they wouldn't know as you can just smile and listen, or switch off, although I must admit there have been times where I'm listening and I'm thinking about what I might watch on TV, and then the person says something like "do you know what I mean?" so in this situation I'd be like " yeah I see what you mean" or "hmm it's difficult" or "I can see where your coming from" and then change topic like did you hear about so and so and that detracts the attention away from me again. hope I'm making sense and it helps some of you. Good luck.
