Attack mode symptoms and conditions

must mention:
if you are prone to anxiety since it could be genetic -you can get a therapist and talk out problems of the past, etc.

just know that some anxiety there can be no cure -but with that said, you can figure out with the specialist that your body is simply (during the anxiety/panic attack mode) mixing up it's understanding of whether you are really having an issue or whether you are simply getting ahead of yourself -which either-way can cause you to stress before it is really necessary.
thus better understanding yourself with a therapist will help best.

a specialist to help get you a the right dose of any drug will also best help.

all these facts will get you on the road to dealing with your anxiety in a way that you will be in control of your attacks and not vice versa. this is how you get on top of this concern and learn to lead a better fulfilled life.

don't buy those books or sign up for those pills. research with the right therapist -ask around a friend if they can recommend someone, etc.

be open minded and find a solution that works for you best. no need to join a cult just do your own reserach and you can fix/adjust, etc. to your body's quirks.

good luck all!

I took Levaquin when it first came on the market maybe 10 or 11 years ago.
I was about 29 at the time. I took 1 500 or 750mg pill before bed. I had previously been on Biaxin before and had no probs, .. anyway i had wierd lucid dreams all night then I woke up at like 5am and i mean WOKE up eyes wide open like a window shade, and I thought i was going to jump out of a 3rd story window. I was in total panic attack mode, sweating, shaking, mind racing, no control over my thoughts, and feelings of dread and suicide even harming my fiance. No joke. i had never felt like that before except after a bad experience with Angel dust laced marijuana when i was like 18. My heart was racing, and my fiance was wondering what the heck was wrong. In my mind i knew what was happening but it was real hard to control and stay where i was in my head. The next few weeks i was in a fog, and had this numbness on the right side of my face from the temple to the bottom of the cheek bone and around my right ear(which i have heard other people talk about in their levaquin experiences on different parts of the head) that was really intense for months, faded over years, and still appears occasionally to this day.Years later i found out my sister and her daughter had had similar frightening experiences. And read about some people that have dies. There is a book called less than 1%. Check it out. This stuff should be banned as far as im concerned.

I have been on Yasmin for two months. I was on Levlite which I had to go off of, because I was having long unending spottings midmonth, then Levlen which caused me great ill and panic attacks, trouble breathing, headaches, severe fatigue. My doctor put me on Yasmin after this.....My breasts have grown larger in size (and they are already Ds. They are constantly tender and feel like they are severely bruised when touched. I have begun to gain weight; seven pounds in eight weeks, no matter how much I try not to eat a lot and go to the gym. My appetite has SOARED. Tripled in amount since I've gone on it, I'm a vegan, and before had eaten very mildly and lite, I crave water, my urine is very concentrated no matter how I drink, and crave sugar and carbonation. I have trouble sleeping because of very vivid and severe dreams and nightmares. (I take my pill at night before bed.) Always tired during the day, large pimples that last two to three days (cystic), then disappear. Pop up anywhere and everywhere on my face, and I've NEVER EVER had pimples or acne before in my life up till this last year with the birth control pills. It is embarrassing. I am having stomach pain with the Yasmin, feels like ulcers, but happens at any time during the day, like I've got a soft stomach and cant eat like I used to, coffees, etc. are unbearable, mostly in the morning when I wake, and in the middle of the night. I eat lots of tums to counteract it. Going to the gym is the only thing that makes me feel better, and then an hour later, I'm right back at being in attack mode. My boyfriend thinks I am insane. Things I say don't make sense, pieces of rationale are missing from arguments, I fly off the handle at any little thing, or difference I may have with someone. I am angry spitting fire, and then sad the next moment and in tears, ESPECIALLY FOUR DAYS BEFORE PERIOD UNTIL about three days into it. I am going to give this one more month, since I have endometriosis and am trying to do a continuous dose though the Yasmin isn't stopping my period from coming while I am continuous dosing, and I have been on four other pills in my lifetime, knowing changing pills is difficult and doesn't always come out with good results I am frightened to try something else, worried that the Levlen effects, which were the worst for me so far, with breathing difficulty and chest pain, will happen with another pill. I'm thinking that the severe mood swings, breast tenderness, and acne is worth it, as long as I can function without panic attacks caused by hormones. I am also having trouble with vaginal odor, a more pungent fishy smell that I've NEVER EVER had problems with before and only started with the Levlen, and now continues with the Yasmin, which is very disconcerting when in sexual circumstances; perhaps a vaginitis problem that hormones can cause since I am very monogamous. I'm unsure. I hope this helps someone else, or makes someone feel like they aren't insane or alone in this search for bcp.

My endometriosis, warrants me to stay on a bcp until I have children and/or a hysterectomy. I've had two laparoscopies for ovarian cysts in the last year. For people like me, bcp is the only fruitful option. If I didn't need bcp for this, say I just was using it as a birth control method solely, FORGET IT, I wouldn't touch this hormone stuff for all the money in the world. It is a horrible horrible thing to do to your body, and your outlook, your experience of the world, it takes your life over and makes things more difficult than any man or woman without gynecological problems could ever realize. Hormone supplementation or replacement is a curse. And I feel sorry everyday for women who have these problems to deal with in addition to the normal difficulties of daily life. I feel like the test of every decision daily are a constant drain on me, knowing at any moment I could fly into a rage or cry at the drop of a hat because of this and other hormone.

Good luck with your search ladies.
