Hello all my name is Robert. Ive been dealing wit Anxiety all my life. Ever since the day i learned i was going to die some day. They were not as bad. tho some would get real bad. Turning into panic. Thought of Im going to die and go to hell. Ive lived a bad life type thoughts. Well around this march of the 19th. I had a afib. at first i thought it was my anxiety messing with me and but was not the case. Im not here to talk about that. About a week after my afib and to the advice of the nice gentlemen who was in the ambulance with me I smoked some really good pot. Oh boy not agian after what happened. Deep deep panic. Shivering sweating. My father couldnt calm me down nor wanted to take me to the hospital despite my claims. I thought i was having another afib or worse.

Well since that night of panic. Everyday I have an anxiety attack. Ive visted the hospital many times after for stupid reasons not leaving anything to chance. Lucky my hospital takes pity on anxiety cases. Well at first they put me on Xanax. I loved it. Not only did it stop anxiety but prevented it. Tho i hear xanax is habbit forming. So i took it only when i felt attacks come on. Now they have me on Hydroxyzine. Not as well as the xanax but it knocks me out and makes me sleepy. Which is good cause my problems are causing severe insomnia. I wake up in the middile of the night paniced and thoughts of death running though my mind. I lost my grandfather late last year to prostate cancer. I have had friends commit suicide before. Death never really bothered me til my gramps died. And boy do i miss him so. But moving on. I just wanted to tell my story to some folks who understand. the many doctors ive seen over the weeks only one understood me (The one who prescribed me the xanax mind you, She was wonderful. But every visit im acused now of trying to score drugs. I dont care what pill they throw at me as long as it works.

I wanted to talk to people. This is what you call a cry for help. Im open to any suggestions. Even thouse of religion.

Sounds like you're casting about for anything that will help relieve the anxiety.

If the xanax helped you, but the hydroxyzine is making you sleepy and you wake up in the night with thoughts of death, I'd say the Hydroxyzine is not working for you.

You need to tell your doctor or whoever prescribed that Hydroxyzine what is happening to you. They need to know of your thoughts of death.

They may not prescribe the Xanax again, but they need to know how the current treatment is working.

Good luck.
