I am very scared, please help

by Ian2008, Jul 10, 2008 05:42PM
I have just started taking xanax .5 mg three times a day. I don't know if it is the medication, or the anxiety, but I feel like I am about to have a seizure or something. Its like I keep having these muscle twitches, and it feels like my breathing is irregular or something. I am really scared I am having a seizure or something. Has anyone else ever experienced this??

People thinking there going to have a seizure is normal  with those who suffer anxiety and panic,,,I always feel like Im going to have a seizure,,and sometimes will worry myself so much about it my anxiety syptoms (symptoms) will get worse and cause even more symtoms that scare me into thinking Im now going to have a heart attack.  Dont worry its the anxiety,,take a nice relaxing breath and take one of your Xanax if you havent already.

when did you start them? usually the starting dose is.25mg not.50mg. they're supposed to calm you down. maybe you should call your dr. because at .50mgs you should be feeling tired and wanting to lay down. take care. remar
