Are you down, depressed all the time or you can be happy or feel great sometimes. Durring a day can you have mood swings from sad and crying to been extremly happy and feeling great. Lets say mostley i feel down depressed i have most of the anxiety simptoms bou then sometimes i would be very happy not like bipolar uncontrolably euphoric. Its like my mood will get realy happy my hearth will raise up a little bit and its like i have solution to all my worries and look positive on just about everything, that happens mostly at night and then when i weak up in the morning it all back to normal depression with all the bad symptoms. i know this kind of mood swings is normal (possible) if you are bipolar, what about if you have anxiety or depression or both. Can you get realy that happy thinking everything is ok and you have solution to all your worries…..and then all goes bad again next morning.

a mess of symptoms and sick of no answers?

Please be patient with me, I’ll try to sum up the story best I can.
About 8 months ago, I went with my hubby to the next town over for a follow-up after a life threatening complication with his vasectomy. we had a few drinks and the next morning I was pretty hungover, but we headed back home anyways.
about 2hrs into the drive my hands got clammy.
then i started getting darkening vision and motion blur.
then my heart started racing, i felt nauseous, my arms and legs began tingling…
we happened to be passing through a small town when i told my hubby i NEEDED to go to emerg.
when I got there everyone was calm, i was panicking. i thought i’d die. they ended up giving my valium and sending me home.
that’s where it all started.
Sounds like a panic attack, right?
Maybe it was.
I’ve been to the doctors many times since then.
I complained of late-night heart palps, lots of achy chest pain, and more recently, swollen glands in my groin and a very sore neck with daily headaches. The palps still come but I’ve learned not to let them worry me. Normally I never get headaches. I smoke, but otherwise have a very healthy diet and am very active.
My pap two months ago showed CIN2 and my doc said they’d have to do a biopsy to confirm it wasn’t anything more or less than that.
My results get back at the end of the month.
But my neck is so tender today, my headache is dull but won’t go away, and there is a small area behind my left ear that is super tender to touch, but there’s no lump that I can feel. I have a lump in my groin about the size of a marble or maybe a little bigger. This lump started out about two months ago as a strange pain that came with different motions and it has just continually gotten larger. I’m SO tired. I have a family to take care of and they are so frusterated the house is falling apart I sleep in every morning.. I get dizzy often… sometimes my heart will just feel strained, beating heavily for about a half hour to an hour at a time…
The docs have told me that the lump in my leg is a swollen node and I must have banged up my leg and not noticed, which triggered the node to swell.
The heart palps are a result of a general anxiety disorder, as well as the chest aches, the tiredness…
I’m a very happy person normally. I live humbly and have tremendous love in my life. I’m a stay-at-home mother.
Never had to control my weight, which is at about 115, I’m 5′3
I have a few skin tags needing to be removed (thought it might be relevant or indicative of something) in my armpit and on my back.
Severe pain during ovulation as well as savage acne breakout over the last few months, never had a problem before then.
I know you’d probably have to be a universal specialist to put all these symptoms together and maybe most of them are seperate minor conditions, but I am so desperate for this to come to and end so I can be myself again. I have a young family of three kids it’s important to me that my health is optimal and I couldn’t handle news that something had been creeping up on me and if I had gotten answers sooner it could have been avoided.
Really, thanks you so much for taking the time to hear me out. Any suggestions would be helpful, aside from seeking medical help, which I continue to do.
Are there questions I should be asking my doctor? Anything, please

Ive had anxiety and panic attacks ever since i was little. Im finally being treated for my panic attacks with "clorazepate" 3.75 mg. (half at bedtime). i movedup to one full one but was making me have crazy dreams and wake up in the middle of the night not remembering what i was doing the next morning.
today i had a mini panic attack for about 30-40 seconds. i was stressing about a math test now and doing homework and i feel a fluttering in my chest. this happened several times. heart palpatations? i also felt like a twitching in my left leg. i dont think this is a side effect of the meds. could this just be stress? or should i get it checked out? i had a friend who recently died of a heart condition a month after having a baby (which stressed her heart) so now i am paranoid. am i over reacting?!?

long term panic and anxiety disorder. I am looking for answers about medications.?

Posted by admin in anxiety disorder panic attack
I am now 60. 30 yrs ago I began to have nocturnal panic attacks. The Dr’s I went to did not relate to what I was telling them. I wish they had sent me to a psychiatrist who would probably have recognized what was happening.
After a while, I began to have panic attacks during the day, also. This went on for years without any help. No one knew what was wrong with me & no one sent me to a psychiatrist. I didn’t know myself that I should go to one.
After several years, having also developed agoraphobia, social phobia, driving phobia I was in so much pain, I no longer wanted to live. I decided to let myself go on to the next life. At that moment, it was as tho a part of me stepped outside of myself & said, “Go to a psychiatrist before you do that.”
I called one the next morning and she put me on Trivial. For the first time in years my heart stopped hurting (I had become so used to it that I didn’t even know it “was” hurting). Also the day time panic attacks went away.
I still had the nocturnal ones and extremely bad anxiety attacks almost constantly and all those same phobia but I was very relieved just to get rid of the years of day time panic attacks.
One doctor over the years put me on Prosac and over a year raised it to 80 Mg’s. I almost felt normal.
Fast forward to now, 30 years later. I am on 40 Mg’s of Prosac and take klonapan 3 times a day.
Left to my own devices, I get by. But sometimes when I am under a lot of stress which I can’t control for several weeks, the medication I’m on stops working and recently I felt as tho I would have to go to a hospital I felt so sick from the hightened, longer term anxiety of several weeks.
I would prefer not to go on another daily medication, but would very much like to have a back up one that I could take when things in my outside world that I can’t do anything about cause stress that is ongoing for several weeks. One that I could take as needed. I’ve used xanex but I’ve heard so many bad things about it that I’m not sure that is the answer. I don’t want something new. I don’t like playing guinea pig to new medications. I’ve tried the other ssri’s and prosac works best for me personally. The klonapon also works well for me. I just need something extra that I can take “as-needed” for these kind of emergency times like the last few weeks.
This emergency just passed so I’m fine now with what I’m taking but I would like to never have to go thru something similiar again without knowing I have a back up to help me thru it so I don’t become so ill.
Does anyone have any suggestions for prescriptions. I’ve done years of therapy including cognitive behavioral and it does help when I’m having lite to medium short term anxiety. I’ve tried alternative medication which can also work with light anxiety. Had I caught this early enough, it would probably never gotten this bad, but back then regular dr’s didn’t usually know enough about panic attacks like they do now. Now I’m sure someone now would give me medication or send me to a psychiatrist.
But I have to deal with what is my reality now. So if you have any suggestions that are about prescriptions I would so so much appreciate any help. Thank you so much.
Warmly, S
