Panic attack from Paxil ?

Postby shaneomac1234 » Thu Nov 02, 2017 12:19 am

Hello all i have been diagnosed with ADHD and Depression , and generalized anxiety .. Ive been on Ritlin for about 5 years for ADHD , i take 10 mg a day .. But recently i have taken a massive panic attack and had to go rushed to hospital back in August thinking it was a heart attack , they told me to go to your family doctor nothing we can do here because you just took a panic attack ... so i went to my family doc and he asked if i keep taking panic attacks we will put you on Paxil but for now here is some attivan to take edge off .. .. so a few weeks went by and he started me on Paxil which was in Sept i am now 4 weeks in and i never took so many panic attacks in my life to the point i cant sleep as my heart races i can feel the sensation wakes me up , so is the Paxil causing all these panic attacks is it normal i dont see the doc again till the 20th of November , to the point the attacks effect my work its becoming a problem , i also noticed just tonight i came back from the movies and i got confused on the highway had to let my mom drive as i felt like i was hallucinating freaked me out never had that happen to me before . im scared dont know what to do would love if anybody could perhaps give their input on what i should do , i dont think i can take a heart attack so i think i can prob put that out of my mind im 26 170 pounds but i do have a bad diet with fast food and sugar i cant stop eating could that also be a issue causing panic attacks ? all kinds of questions so little answers i do see a psychologist but dont see him till the 22nd . blah sorry for the long rant just scared and confused .. but sick and tired of feeling like this dont know what to do ..

PS thanks in advance if this is in the wrong thread please move to the right one .
