(m27). My panic attacks started around a year ago. I was a heavy weed smoker, smoking the strongest weed I could find on almost a daily basis. Sometimes all day. I am a working professional BTW, I managed to stay under the radar as I WFH. I started having the most SEVERE panic attacks. My heart rate starts going faster and faster to the point I am light headed and feel very faint. My heart rate went up to 180 while sat down doing nothing! I suddenly get the most URGENT need to piss and shit. To the point I almost shit myself on a plane. I am grateful for everything I have in my life. I lost my mother this year but this all started before then. My job is stressful but I enjoy it. These panic attacks just won’t go away. It’s affecting my social life and I hate being so reliant on my gf to keep me at ease. I started taking citrolopram 20mg and went down to 20mg after some side effects. This really helped but I went back to 20mg after still feeling very anxious on the lower dose. It almost always happens when I go to bed, again no bad thoughts just this overwhelming feeling of worry, and then BOOM panic. I think I’m going to die every single time. I am a very rational man, I know I’m not going to die but I can’t quite explain how uncomfortable I am. I should be traveling the world for work, but I stay at home out of fear this will happen on a plane (I hate flying ) or I’m a meeting. I am just so uncomfortable. Are there any working professionals out there that also experience this? Any advice? Fuck I hate this shit.
