panic, crying. did my meds stop working?

[lynnsee]

I've been feeling kinda sketchy for about the past month. Nothing too bad though. I mostly feel more spacey and tired than usual. But today it hit me hard. Out of no where, I was at my boyfriends house and just started feeling really uncomfortable. I didnt wanna be there, but I didnt really wanna be anywhere. When he asked me what I wanted to do I broke down and just started crying uncontrollably and felt like I was having a panic attack. It lasted about 5 or 10 minutes but it felt like it was gonna last forever. Then I was just calm. I still felt kinda weird but not panicked. It was just weird how I started crying so hard right away. Is that normal. Was it a panic attack. Or something worse. Are my meds not working anymore. I havent had a panic attack in a few months so this was pretty unexpected. Whats going on?

The rest applies tho :) lol

[lynnsee]

Lol oh its ok. I was like my brother?

[ROSYouralright]

Im sorry sweetie!! I posted this on the wrong thread!

Issues with my brother?

[ROSYouralright]

Sweetie you have so much going on in life right now the stress is probably building up... The issue's with your brother are probably playing a big role in all of this.

I agree with #remar that it would be a good idea to revisit the issue with your Dr. And get a small script so that you will have something for the unexpected"emergency" attacks.

Best of luck to you hun.. :)

Yea maybe I am just stressed. There's been so much on my mind lately from school to money to bf to bff and idk what else. I just always try my hardest to not let it bother me. Thank you so much for being here to talk to. I really appreciate you c:

[remar]

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling calm. That's great news. Panic attacks can come out of no where. Usually it's because we've been under some kind of stress though. It sounds like your meds are working just fine and you have nothing to worry about.

[lynnsee]

I feel really calm today. No anxiety at all. I guess it just scared me that it came out of both where :b

[remar]

You might want to talk to your Dr about giving you a very small prescription, just in case you need it.
I really don't think your meds have stopped working. We can have a "breakthrough" panic attack even while we're taking meds. That does'nt mean it's going to keep happening.
Are you doing alright, or are you still feeling very anxious?

[lynnsee]

Ahhhh no. My doc didnt wanna give me any because he thought I had an addictive personality. I would have been too scared to take some anyways :c

[remar]

Sometimes we can have a panic attack even though we're on meds.It does'nt mean your meds have stopped working. Do you have a rescue anxiety med just in case a panic attack happens?
