Ok, so pretty crazy story...
Woke up this morning around 5 to start gettin ready for work...
Like 5:45 - 6ish I start getting sore in my chest when I breathe...
This goes on for ohh.. 10 minutes before I start feeling a really bad tightness in my chest...
Well, on comes dizziness and It felt like the everything was moving so fast... I froze up, heart is beating like all hell, and I fall over... Stayed awake, but just stumbled...

Sooo... On my way to the ER we go...

Heres the deal, Got an EGK done, they scanned my Cat, blood work, xrays, the whole shebang...

Everything comes back fine...

We'll the doctor tells me I may have an anxiety disorder... and he prescribes Xanax...

All this and I'm only 21... fucking great...

Here are my questions...
1)How will something like this affect my job...
-I work in an office some days, but the majority of my work Im driving a fucking ton in traffic (I think this may be how I got here...)

2) I haven't taken any of the RX yet, is this shit really gonna kick me in the ass in terms of drowsyness / clumsiness (says on the website)

Like I said, I'm young, and have a really busy job (that I def. cant afford to lose) I'm so worried about how taking these meds is going to affect my performance at work (and wind up getting fired)

Can anyone help?

Thanks
 


I've also had something like this happen, and I'm only 18 :S I assumed it was a panic attack. It only happens every couple of months, so I'm not worried. I do kinda get scared and think I'm having a heart attack though lol, but because my age I know that's not possible.
 
Whats your history like?...is this the first time this has happened?

If it's just anxiety....its up to you how you wanna handle it...meds usualy suppress shit, so i'd say go the natural way of dealing with it...but if it gets to be too much ...take the meds....but yah, don't take the meds just cause...as for how the meds will affect you...i'd be more worried about a little thing called Peepee dysfunction...no seriously, it affects diff ppl in diff ways....

your young as you said...i would deal with those hidden skeletons that are causing this shit though first...
 
Same with me, first thought... "Uhh... Uhh... UUHHHHH!!!..... Shit this can't fucking be..... Oh god oh god oh god..."

Im not too worried about it, I been fine since i got home from the hospital... Im just seeing where Im going to be with my job... Especially since this is something that could quit possibly be caused from the fucks anyways...
 
Xanax is tons of fun! Great stuff and really not that hard core! If you start to take it often your body will build up a tolerance to the LaLa land and it will just help you relax!

So my advice.... Start medicating heavily :)
 
Still leaves me with the work question... My boss is a prick, and my job is everything, Including funding for my little n00b AM projects...

I'm more worried about the job then the meds to be honest..

I smoke bud all the fuckin time cause Im stressed.... so.... yea what were we talking about?

Are you gloating??? the man almost died!!! j/k.

I've seen a few panic attacks in my day (had one , really trippy, got dizzy, couldn't breath and my whole face went numb)

If you don't want to use the xanax (are you fucking crazy??? use the xanax!!) then definitely get on some regular anti anxiety meds (like zoloft, or whatever is the new things now adays)

the mj works too :)
 
He doesn't need any drugs.

Just carry around a brown paper bag, and breathe into it when you feel queezy again. Stop being such a pussy. Grow some balls and take it like a man!
 
I have heard for a non-prescription option, you can use St Johns Wart (600mcg) a day. Have not used it, but understand it to be a natural option for Zoloft, or it's generic.
 
Well, then we're set... like I said, I smoke a ton of that shit... this was so out of nowhere.. granted I get "nervous" in front of large groups of people.... if you really wanna call it nervous... shy maybe?

Anyways... I just pop'd one like 10 mins ago to get an idea for it... I'll post results later :-D
