Intense Panic And Terror

[sunshine_annie]

Since last night I've been in a constant state of intense fear ...no flashbacks yet just feeling like...I feel like I'm with a serial killer who is about to rape me with a knife. I'm going on 8+ hours of trembling, tachycardia, hard to breathe, twitching, out of body experiences...please help. I'm all out of my ativan I have nothing and all my relaxation techniques are failing

I think you need medical care. That long of tachycardia can be very dangerous.

Can someone drive you to emergency or urgent care services? You should also get a blood pressure reading and monitoring. A second option would be to call your doc and ask them to call in a refill of your Ativan but I really think you should be seen.

I hope you feel better soon!

I concur with Candleflames on this one. I think you should go get some medical help, especially since withdrawal from benzos (Ativan) can be fatal. Please be safe and I hope you will have a good update for us soon. Thinking positive thoughts for you.

If you check out okay with a doctor, I would work out. You are flooded with stress hormones and - at least for me - is the only thing that works in a panic to bring me back down. Feel for what your body wants to do. If it says run, run! But make sure your heart is okay first.
