You are most def not a baby!  You reached out, got advice, and now feel better.  Wow, what a powerful thing this can be when used properly.  I am proud of you for telling someone.
And....glad the doc knows about the combo.  Hopefully that will help with the anxiety.  You really do need to get some rest - it will make all the difference.  I wish for you a peaceful night's sleep (8 hrs sounds nice).  Haven't come close to that myself in a VERY LONG TIME - but he, someone needs to, so why not you.

Ok, I can feel myself getting loopy!  been a long day.

goodnight, Man - really am glad we got to talk.

Let them rant! I was feeling terrible. I am better now. My doc was fully aware of benzo script, and said they'd be ok together, so I think I am ok. the copenhagen I went and bought is helping too, except I feellike a baby
hence the vagina comment

not trying to be a smarta** but do you know that for sure or did you read that on the computer.  have you called the er and talked to anyone?  i would just think there would be something they could do...you do not need to suffer like this.  the more pain you have the greater your anxiety will be...the more anxiety the more panic attacks...a viscious cycle.  don't be stubborn like a man...do like we would do...get your butt to the ER!

This is some scary stuff!!!  Im sure youve read but this is from their website...
I had a similar reaction with another migrane med but I don't think it was as severe.  It passed after about an hour.   At least call the doc's office to ensure that all is ok.  It may ease your anxiety and even things out a bit.  Sorry I can't  be more helpful, please let us know that your ok.  your in my thoughts!

Im sure the anxiety over quitting dipping didn't help the situation.  Did u read that about the sedatives and topamax.  Not being a mommy, just want to make sure you saw it - be careful, those side effects would scare anyone.  Is it even helping the nerve pain (now that you feel a little better and can tell)  If not, I think I'd trade that one in.  Let us know how things are going for you tomorrow.  We will be worried!!

Not even going to touch the other..............I can just see the rants tomorrow over that word in a post.  It was a joke - to those who read this - and meant to relax the man during a rough patch - don't freak and don't yell at me.

PEACE, LOVE, and REST, much needed REST

Take care, Man

I keep going over and reading and it does say that all you have is normal = as sad as that is.  It says to seek med attention if u have blurred vision or periorbital pain (not sure what that even is) so if either of those, you better call somebody or get to the ER.

Take Care, Man

I think my vagina may be hurting. OOPs, don't have one, but if I did, it would be all hot and pins and nedles

Luckily I had some benzos for grinding my teeth at night. Calming right down. i tried to quit Coppenhagen today which didn;t help. Got a dip in now as well

i very worried about you hun.  you said your doctor was 150 miles away...does that mean there is no ER or any emergency center closer than that too?
i know the physical symptoms are real and i wish i could help you.  but the panic attacks are something that you can get through.  i know this probably doesn't help at the moment but try to relax, put cool rags on your face or even sit it cool water in the tub, and call your doctor and tell him your reaction.  just know that even though panic attacks make you feel like you are going to die...you are not.  please call your doctor...he may can help you over the phone.

huggs,
