Please help me. Im losing my mind.

[ScaredLifeless]

Today was my 4th day in a row going to a hospital. I was diagnosed by my primary care doctor with a panic disorder. He put me on Klonopin and sent me on my way. Ive been on the Klonopin for almost a year now and ive been trying so hard to get off of it but everytime i try i end up in the emergency room. My chest has sharp pains, my left arm and shoulder have shooting pains and go numb, i feel nauseas, i feel lightheaded and i feel like at any moment i could pass out. Im sitting in bed right now and i feel like im going to faint even tho im not doing anything. I get these weird feelings in my head. Sometimes my head feels like its going to explode with pressure other times its a weird feeling like my brains going numb or im just totally losing it. I went to the hospital today because i was having none stop chest pains for about 2 hours. When i got there they did and EKG and a chest xray and the doctor said my heart is fine and i dont have any risk factors for heart disease. So does that mean my heart is ok? the doctor telling me the my heart is fine should have made me feel better but it didnt. I just recently left the ER and my chest still hurts and im short of breath and im very weak. i couldnt even lift my laptop. everytime i stand up and try to walk i pretty much fall down. normally when i have a panic attack my mother or my fiancee can calm me down quickly. but recently my attacks have been so bad that no one can calm me down. when i eat it feels like i cant swallow and i always feel like im going to throw up. Has anyone else had panic attacks this bad? I really need help or a support system. Im only 21 years old and im already losing my mind. I cry every night because im sooo scared im going to die.

I suggest you ask your primary care doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist.
They are more experienced with dealing with anxiety/depression and panic disorders.
They will help guide you thru the best steps to take to help you thru the symptoms you are experiencing.

Its unsafe to go off Klonopin except with an exact titration schedule under your psychiatrist's supervision. Discontinuing Klonopin abruptly can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. I know because I was allowed by my psychiatrist to gradutally discontinue it years ago (since then I went back on it) and I went ahead of the titration schedule I was given and I developed full blown withdrawal symptoms. Best to follow up on what the doctor's advice is and also to remain on the Klonopin and if you have any concerns about why you would want to not take it discuss it with your psychiatrist and not act on your own. If they have started you back on it the withdrawal symptoms should pass in time but they should continue to monitor it and you should report any symptoms of concern to them.
