[QUOTE="Star*, post: 431204, member: 4964"] When I had my panic attack moments? The doctor in the box wouldn't give me a prescription for anything. However she did tell me graciously on the sly that IF I felt the heart racing, the can't catch my breath thing where I'm sticking out my tongue to feel like I'm trying to get more air, the crushing chest feeling, that racing thought thing? Take 2 Benadryl. Of course she had NO idea that I had "life" with a difficult child and later would have the mini stroke which was pre-ceeded by the fits of laughing that scared everyone to death. (which I was told is the body's way of staving off having the cheese falling off your cracker) - yup - I saw a bumper sticker that said Real Men Love Jesus and would have bet a billion that it said Real Men Love Cheeses.....and that was it - I was hysterical to the point of DF wanting to pull off the road to slap me - but the events leading up to that? Enormous even for me. I was laughing for nearly an hour like that woman on the travelocity commercial that gets told she's a Beach Angel - (ahem) Anyway - benadryl. It's not like klonipin or atavan - but it helps usually within 30 minutes. I'm just to the point now where I have Klonopin on hand and carry one with me at all times and if I get that tight chest thing? I take a small bite out of one of those pills and I'm okay. I don't take a whole pill - If I do - I end up wandering around car lots hugging cars and saying things like - THIS one is soooooooooo pretty. Very embarrassing. [/QUOTE]
