hello, i seriously need help. yesterday i got a horrible, i would call it, ''OCD attack''. it was an anxiety attack that lasted almost all day after i woke up, most likely caused because of lack of good sleep accompanied by really bad nightmares. approximately at 5 pm i started having horrible intrusive thoughts about hurting my loved ones. it was so overwhelming i ended up crying like a baby, that gave me some kind of relief. i also went to the gym and had a routine of extreme cardio at 7 pm (note that i hadn't gone to the gym for about a year and a half, so this is ''new'' to me) after arriving home extremely tired, i took .5 mg of Xanax and a half pill of Dramamine at 8:30 pm. i ended up sleeping at 9:30 pm. well, i thought i would sleep like a baby, but here i am, really loud tinnitus woke me up at 3:00 am and I am still awake, the tinnitus is not as strong as when i woke up but it is still there. anybody else had something similar or knows what happened? why didn't the xanax knocked me out like it usually does?
note that i am not an usual medication consumer. last time i took xanax was a week ago and it was only .25 mg, so .5 mg is a large dose for me.
best regards to everyone!
