Comments on: A night to remember, another panic attack and the feeling of dying. http://www.jasonscreeb.com/2008/03/a-night-to-remember-another-panic-attack-and-the-feeling-of-dying/ I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder three years ago, and also suffer from panic attacks. My mind is confusing, interesting, and always unquiet. My perception isn't what one might consider normal, and I've been told my views can be distorted. Picture Seinfeld with a chemical imbalance. This is my release, in a therapeutic way. Being totally anonymous, but completely open... you will find my viewpoints on what I encounter around me.

I have been on Seroquel for 7 years now. The doctor put me on it even though I didn't have bipolar disorder and was only suffering from depression. I wondered if anyone knows what psychological damage it will cause in a normal person? On a personal note, I'm on my second day, "cold turkey", without any. I was taking 150 mg. Hello.

You have the most interesting blog titles I have ever seen (running naked, etc). But this sounds really really scary! I don't think I've had a panic attack per-se, but I've come close to them on roller coasters. No, really, I don't do the normal "oh I'm screaming but really having fun" I do the "I'm screaming because I'm scared out of my mind, my heart is pounding, I am breathing much too quickly, and want off of this ride!" Wow. You have the most interesting blog titles I have ever seen (running naked, etc).

I have suffered from Depression and Anxiety since I was 5 years old. I have a list of the medications I have used on my blog. I know this may be difficult for some to believe, but after I attempted suicide earlier last year I was introduced to a Program called Reformers Unanimous. I went through this program for 7 months. I no longer suffer from anxiety or depression. I also overcame a drug addiction I have battling for the better part of my life.

I thought I was going to die and my heart was going to explode. I take klopin for my anxiety and panic attacks so what I stated feeling that was I took my regular meds and started to feel a little better.
