Does anyone suffer from panic attacks that last 24 hours at a time?
I have recently been dealing with panic attack disorder where my attacks will last all day long making it so hard to just go on trying to make it through a full day. I can’t sleep, eat, or move for that matter. It’s really freaking me out and it the stuff my Dr. has giving me does not seem to be helping at all.
Does anyone know what I can do to try and calm myself down when this happens?? Please help if possible!!!
I too have been having panic attacks that last for hours. I can’t eat either and all I can do is lay in bed and not move. I have xanax extended release which helps a little, but it usually takes hours to feel better. I am on summer break now and I don’t know how I will cope with going back to work.
All I want to do when the attack hits is lay in bed and I’m afraid to move or get up or do anything. I have these sinking feelings of dread and I’m cold and nauseus. What is your doctor giving you? I am also on effexor xr 75 mg now, which I started again after trying to get off it. The only thing that helps me is to be able to go to sleep after taking a xanax, but that is not a way for me to live…
