ok girls so i had a really rough night. I've been having stomach problems. I went to the local ER earlier in the afternoon. long story short took them hrs to see me... when they did they gave me an IV drip of zantac and something for nausea. The zantac instantly triggered an extremely bad axiety attack. i felt like i wanted to crawl out of my skin.. and i didn't feel like they were helping..left but felt worse anxiety wise. Go to a different ER... they check me.. i'm ok. i took a xanax and a nap and felt a bit better.. woke up half hour ago and i still feel very funny anxiety wise. I'm afraid this medicine really screwed with me cause i haven't felt like this in a longggggg time. my head and state of mind just don't feel right now.. i don't know what to do. I plan on checking in with my doc today but i can't seem to feel normal again..and i'm so afraid that the medicine really did something. The doctors said it def. was the medicine ..but it feels so much worse than a normal anxiety attack that passes cause it's my state of mind that's bad right now...anyone ever experience this... i could def use some advice cause i really can't sleep now and i don't know wat to do..it's scaring me!!! sorry to sound nuts ladies.. just don't know who else to talk to right now...

Re: NWR: Need some anxiety help right now
What is Zantac?? I wish I could help. I have really bad anxiety and panic attacks regularly. I usually take something to sleep when Im having an episode but mostly herbal stuff and sometimes Ill have some wine. Which I dont think you can do since youre on antibiotics. I know how you feel and I Hate the feeling. I wish I could be of more help to you right now Are you thinking about something thats making you feel so anxious since you said its youre state of mind...
Im actually a little anxious right now. And I know all too well the 'crawling out of your skin feeling' Just try and breathe and know it will pass!

Re: NWR: Need some anxiety help right now
thank you. Zantac is for your stomach .. i wish i had known thats what they were giving me cause i would have told them no.. i feel like if i didnt get that i would ok right now. I took a pill form once before and stopped it the next day cause of it's effects on me. It just messed with me big time. I took another xanax to try and help me go back to sleep but it hasn't really kicked in or helped yet i guess. But thank you ...and i'm sorry about your anxiety.. i know how horrible it can be!!!

Is that a side effect?? Thats good to know so I never take it! Thats the last thing I need lol. Im glad you have some Xanax! Once that kicks in you should be okay. And yeah anxiety stinks! I hate it! But I just learn different ways to cope with it each time it happens. I hope you feel better!

If you do not have anywhere to be today, take a Tylenol PM. That always helps me during an attack when I cannot sleep. Feel better hun!

Re: NWR: Need some anxiety help right now
aww Im sorry you're feeling so horrible. Are you really stressed out about the wedding?? I know i've been having such crazy anxiety and my OCD kicked in so bad and I haven't really had it in YEARS!! FH is telling me that it will be better once the stress of planning is over but if you've never really experienced anxiety then that's easy to say LOL. How are you feeling now? Any better??

Awwww I hope you are feeling better.
I totally understand how you feel..usually when I have bad stomach issues it triggers my anxiety. Try to drink some chamomille tea...it will soothe your stomach and soothe you also.

Re: NWR: Need some anxiety help right now
Thank you ladies. I'm feeling a bit better today. My FH said that if the medicine they gave me triggered it i probably just have to wait it out til it's out of my system and he's right(for once..lol..).since they gave it to me in an IV it probably hit me a lot harder..but waiting patiently and anxiety never seem to go hand in hand! lol. Taking my pills though and trying to relax and i am feeling a bit better now!!! If all else fails my doctor is in til 7 and takes walk ins from crazy people like me so i'm sure that will help..lolol!! You girls are great... i'm glad i have peole to vent to when something like this happens.. not everyone gets it or tries to understand.. so it's really a great feeling to have people who do!!! thanks again!!!!!!

Re: NWR: Need some anxiety help right now
I totally know how you feel. I hate getting sick because if I do in some way it triggers my anxiety or it all relates back to the anxiety. I think you just need to try to relax. If you focus on your issue and keep feeding the thoughts they only get worse, or the symptoms progress. If I've ever learned anything with anxiety is the more you feed it the worse they will grow. Talking about it always helped me too if you need to FM me or feel like talking i am here! You will get through it i promise :)

thank you.. i think that is my major problem right now.. i've been having so many stomach problems...plus my dentist said since i had to wait to fix my tooth so long the infection is in my bone now and possibly my sinus so it's making me much more on edge!!!!!! I also suffer from low blood pressure so i get light headed often... all of these things are def. not helping with my anxiety lately! I'm being admitted tom. for tests on my stomach.. so hopefully nothing major will be wrong and i can start getting back on track with everything. I also have my root canal next wed. and am on antibiotics for that now to kill the infection.. so maybe once this is all done with i will start feeling better!! thank you again..and to everyone else too..your all very sweet and i truly appreciate it!!!
