Panic Attack Treatment

What else could this be? Please help. I am at my wit’s end as a caregiver.

I’m 14 years old and recently ive been really stressed out and tired constantly i have had 2 panic attacks and almost had one walking home from school… i am now scared to have another one im just wondering if this is panic disorder or wat and if so im wondering if theres a cure cuz i just dont feel right.

From what we know about its response to drugs, panic disorder may be biologically related to __________?
A. generalized anxiety
B. depression
C. schizophrenia
D. obsessive-compulsive personality disorder

It seems that my panic disorder started the nigt after I somoked marijuana for the first time. I was fifteen and I smoked a lot and I was told the next day that it was laced with something…till this day I don’t know if thats true. I bugged out pretty bad and the next day I went to the mall with my friends and tried not think about it…..but as we were sitting at the table eating I, all of the sudden, felt this rush come over me. I felt very flushed and could hear everyone talking but they sounded faded and very strange. It scared me and I couldn’t even look at them or talk. I had to dismiss myself and get some air. It would not go away though….I missed some days of school and was terrifired for my life. I felt like the only thing I could do was curl up in a ball and pray that it would go away! I am now taking zoloft for this problem and it has seemed to do the trick but there are times where I still get overwhelmed with this scary feeling. I feel like there is no one that understands what I am talking about. Is there anything else I can do?

I get palpitations ALOT. I once got them when I was riding my horse and it slipped so I got real scared and got them. Another time that it happend relating to fear or anxiety was when I was talking to my friend whom I am real shy around and got them. I also sometimes get them in dreams. But most of the time they are mainly out of nowhere.
My face gets hot, my body starts shaking and I feel dizy every once in a while but never faint. My heart beat irregularly and skips and sometimes even feels like it stops. I feel like **** when it happens, and I live in fear each and every day of getting them. I am so scared next week at highschool rodeo i’ll get them while i’m doing my event.
I HAVE gone to the doctor three times before–with all three being different doctors but they never found ANYTHING. It makes me so frustrated that they don’t even give me a clue on what I have and just stare at me like i’m some dumbass teenager.
I’m tired of living in fear each and every day, I want to know whats wrong and what I can do. I have a friend I talk to alot, a best friend. I take vitamins everyday and a gaba suppliment–which now I guess is just a fakeout. I drink alot of water, I eat when I can. I have lost alot of weight. My iron level is fine.

When im at school walking through the hallway or sitting in class i feel like everyone is staring at me and thinking mean things (whether this is true or not it doesnt change my thinking one bit) and i feel closterphobic in my own body, like all i want to do is get out but im trapped. my hands get sweaty and i breath really hard and my heart beats so fast, and I am always futzing with something on my shoe or my bracelets ect. just to take my mind off being nervous. to add to it, while all this is going on, im thinking about all the things i did wrong throughout the day, all the things people were probably thinking of me, the things that are wrong with me, how i did worse on a test than the rest of my class, ect. i think i have a really severe disorder but im just really good at hiding it, and ive been dealing with these feelings for so long everyone probably just thinks thats how i am, i know thats what even I have started to believe. But all of that stuff cant be normal?

Ik it may sound dumb, that I think all of these things, but these are actual fears that i have, just like someone being afraid of snakes, except these fears are like crippeling, the keep me from doing things that are fun and that teenagers should be doing.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I’M GOING THROUGH AND CAN OFFER HELP, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, TIPS, SUGGESTIONS, ETC, THAT WOULD BE AMAZINGLY HELPFUL.

If not, please dont waste your time writing something rude.

Thanks!

i have a doctors appointment tomorrow, i’m wondering if they are going to make me pee in a cup for a panic attack disorder??

I developed panic disorder and depersonalization / derealization after 2 years of chronic marijuana use.
There was some stressful events leading up to the onset of the panic, at first I had atleast 20 panic attacks a day and was certain I was going psychotic.
2,5years later, since I’m still not psychotic, I guess I’m not going crazy afterall.

However I still experience panic disorder.

Prior to this mysterious onset of panic disorder, I was never very anxious about anything, never had any social anxiety or anxiety with public speaking or girls.
Doing dangerous things was thrilling.
No phobias.

As a kid I was afraid of being alone (my mom tells me) but other than that I was normal, sure there were certain times I felt anxious, but I’d say I was more "nonanxious" than the regular person.

Now I’m eating diazepam daily 15-25mg (daily, have been for over 1 year).
So being constantly in a fog of drowsiness has made panic attack less frequent, but as soon as I don’t have a pill near me, or I’m on a lower dosage than usual (like forget to take one, or try to manage without) I panic instantly.

Now I’ve heard panic disorder is very cureable, and not some brain damage/deficiency, but lately when I’ve read about it on some med-websites, it seems like the "Prognosis for panic disorder is poor"
and that one can only expect to manage to "live with it" and not be totally "cured".

is this true?

is there anyone on here who’s had a panic disorder (severe, like daily panic attacks) and recovered completely or am I basically fucked for life?

My sister is 13 and over the past 2 years she has had anxiety problems. I used to have the same problems. I became somewhat religious and after this i gained alot of knowledge about my problem and learned how to stop my anxiety. my sister is on anxiety medication and depression medication. none these meds work for her. my mother feels that im being naive when i say that it might be a spiritual problem. also i had severe acne for 8 yrs then I prayed for my skin to be healed now i have flawless skin. my sister also has severe acne that she takes meds for and they dont work either.so what im getting at is does anyone believe that her problems can be cured with religion? I know this sounds completely insane, but i have read in the bible and on the net that demonic bondage is related to mental illness and infection. what are your opinions and personal experience with these issues. and please keep any rude comments to yourself. thank you for reading.
I dont believe this!!! does noone even consider the religious factor?

elizibeth first off do not say that demonic bonding is not real. first of all you dont have proof. secondly god did fix my acne because wanting to be cured of SEVERE acne is NOT vain. it is wanting to function socially. Do not answer a question if you are so ignorant. you cannot factor in assumptions when answering a question.

Iv’e been taking Adderall (10 and 5 mgs) for around 3 years. Before adderall, i got anxieties sometimes. Adderall got rid of that.
Now, i’ve stopped taking adderall, and the anxieties are back and much worse. i dont know what to do. Please help.

2nd opinion pschatrist think a year of zoloft would be better and a year of klonopin is not so good for me. i hear people talk about the side effects of zoloft and how they hate it. plus ive heard people talk about their success with klonopin. ive taken klonopin a couple days and i feel fine just a little drowsy but no panics, but is it really gonna cure me in the long run. Eithe med i choose i still am and will continue to see a psycologist i just need to know which med is better.
