Re: [PanicZone] Re: Panic Disorder Spiral

 

Thanks guys. My panic was really bad last night and I'm at my wits end so I decided to increase my Lexapro from 10 to 15 mg. The psych NP who prescribes my meds has told me that I could increase it at any time if I feel like I need it. I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm feeling kind of depressed about having to do this though like somehow its giving up.

Hey Nicole.

I have a prescription for Hydroxyzine (brand name Vistaril). It works pretty well for sleep. They use it in drug rehab for sleep because it has low dependency risk.

I struggle with sleep also. Hope it gets better soon,
Brent

The only thing that can happen when I
have a panic attack is that it will pass
whether it passes quickly or slowly
depends whether I drop the idea of it
being dangerous or not.
