Getting Worried. Help!
Posted: 08-08-05 20:23pm

I went to the doctor about this but he said nothing to me.

About once a week I get this, it lasts the whole day, where I feel like my stomach is clenched up. Tight like a fist. Thats not the weird part, the weird part is that my breathing gets hard and I feel like its hard to take a full breath, my chest hurts and also I get the weirdest thing:

- my abdomen/stomach feels so weak or tight that I almsot cant speak. I feel like I have to clench my stomach to gain the energy to speak.. Isnt that weird? Anyone else have that at all?

I suffer from anxiety and have had lots of panic attacks but this thing is what worries me the most..

That's like a prolonged panic attack. I've had one before. I went to the gym, lifted heavy and ran on the treadmill for like 25 minutes and I started to flip, luckily there was only one other person in there. I was on adderall and had taken two cause I was workin out on no sleep and with a hangover. I got home and thought i'd feel better but I wanted to hide in a closet and die cause it felt like I was dying. It kept goin for two days after and i'd wake up with my heart flipping out. This happened to me the other day when I started back on wellbutrin. And i'm almost certain it's cause of that and I was trying to stop drinking again and get healthy again like I used to be. What meds if any are you on, and do you drink or have trouble sleeping.

i can relate to that mate.

I had to stop drinking when I was about 16 plus stop taking cannabis ect ect.


The pains I whent through was really painful but I did get through it.

Unfortunately I put myself through it again.

Hence I have to put myself through some sort of physical training and lay of the booze.Easyer said than done my friend I now.But the body can only take so much to much of anything is a bad thing.


Doctors dont have the answers straight away, they have to eliminate all possibility's.


Do keep seeing your doctor, find out how you can keep yourself more active fitness wise that is.Most of all dont let your mind drift of into what if I have this or this.

Take it easy mate.

I now usually get xanax or klonopin from my psych... I don't care how addictive they are, if they calm me down and take away my wild anxiety attacks and make it easier to not drink or at least not drink a whole bottle of vodka, i'm all for it.

Adderall Recovery Photographs--a Must Read
Posted: 10-25-05 19:33pm

Someone has chosen to use ebay as a venue to get help with their adderall addiction-encouraging creative energy. Photographs are really interesting. Looking to the community-ebay does reach such a large audience. Hmmm...Ideas generating in my mind. Any adderall users having troubles, check out this find:

There are some ways of treating anxiety attacks without recourse to either drugs or psychotherapy. Once you understand the underlying biochemical mechanism of what causes anxiety attacks, you can treat this by nutritional means.
