Yeah, I feel like when I’m having so much pain, but it gets so intense that I’ll end up having a panic attack because it literally gets overwhelming.

Yes, Trevor, panic attacks for my panic problem for years!!! I spent yrs. where I couldn't leave the house !! A doctor finally gave the Xanax. I stayed on it for years!!!!! It literally saved me life!! Been off it for about 14 yrs. Getting off of it was terrible!!🤪

I used to have "rolling" panic attacks, even in my sleep. I would wake up panting, with racing heart, ear drums fluttering, with the sense of imminent danger. Seemingly for no reason. Normally the attacks would intensify for about 10-15 minutes and slowly the symptoms would lessen. I had no idea what they are just felt extremely ill and waiting for passing out, or die I guess. After finding out that these are panic attacks I learned to freak out a bit less and tried to ride them out. Now they are I would call severe anxiety attacks, super restless, tight muscles, trembling, dizziness etc. I pace around, taking slow, deep breath, walk, meditate. My pain is so relentless, tormenting, frustrating, cannot find any comfortable position, even sitting hurts. Even just thinking can worsen the pain, Not dark thoughts at all, just like I need to set up a doctors appointment. My pain turns up a notch by just the thought of it. My anxiety and pain goes hand in hand. I feel that I have no control over it but I keep trying every day. Clonazepam might help with zapping pain or extreme tension pain (I feel that my body is compressed in a vice, like cemented in). These days are extremely uncomfortable.
