Update on my panic attacks

[pace1987]

Well this whole weekend I cried. I feel like I am crawling out of my skin. I am writing now because I am finally in a calm mode. I called my NP and right away she said to go back on the zyprexa. I refuse to because it made me gain 40lbs and already since last Monday I lost 12lbs. I made an appointment with my family doctor. I feel like there are other options. I can't even do STS right now because I can't focus and I don't want to get hurt. When I am feeling better I will start where I left off. I hope I am doing the right thing by going to my Dr.

I think getting a second opinion is a smart thing.

I also admire you....posting here shows how you want to reach out and have the spirit to help yourself.

Sending healing wishes your way.

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. Hang in there. Take things one day at a time or 1 hour at a time or moment by moment whatever you need to do. It will get better. Getting a second opinion is a great idea. Sending you hugs and healing prayers.

Have you been weaning off of Zyprexa or did you stop it cold turkey. If you've been on it for awhile I believe that the best way is to stop it gradually. I'm not 100% sure of this but you should ask your doctor about it. You may be having some withdrawal symptoms. I think that seeing you Dr. is the smart thing to do. Hang in there. (((Hugs)))
