How much did he drink?

The anxiety is so overwhelming. But the panic attack was the worst, all bad thoughts imaginable raced through my head.

Hi JRons, I have a history of panic attacks & they can definitely come back during withdrawal and seizures are serious. Even if it is over by the time you get to hospital, tell them you were heavy drinker & just quit, they can prescribe a mild sedative for you to get you safely through those first few weeks. Prob some blood tests too.

The worst part of my panic attacks was feeling like I was suffocating--not able to breathe. I actually fainted a couple of times. Breathing into a paper bag can help with the hyperventilation. Let us know how you are! :h

I'm scared to even shower. My shower is like a glass box and I'm scared of another seizure and I'll fall. I just can't stop these horrible thoughts...

Sorry just saw this post too. Same thing happened to me after a bad PA. Your adrenaline levels are going to be up for a couple weeks & it will take a while to settle down. It's very physiological & not all in your head! I read a great book years ago that helped me understand what was happening to me, I'll try to find the name of it. I couldn't take meds at the time but I found that eliminating anything that elevates the heart rate--coffee, decongestants--was very helpful.

I hope by the time you read this you have seen your doc--hang in there! Let us know how you are.

Hang in there. My panic attacks are gone now. I do still have anxiety, but I manage that by telling myself that anxiety is perfectly normal in this situation and it will pass. A few deep breaths and relaxing thoughts like imagining I am at the beach helps.

Jrons.

Please please please go to the ER. If you cant do that get in to your GP. They can do a full workup and prescribe medication that will help with the anxiety and seizures. This isn't anything to fool around with. At best it will be the reason for a relapse and at worst your health is at risk. Please for your loved ones sake go and get medical care.
