RE: Re: In SERIOUS Need of Help

[Guest guest]

Hi Tony,

I have had panic attacks. I went to www.normalbreathing.com and saw a big

improvement,

in fact I feel cured, although of course it takes time to be able to say that.

Apparently many of us hyperventilate without knowing it and this is the original

cause of

our anxiety. Changing my breathing stops a panic attack before it starts.

I do hope this helps

have candida issues. I'm not sure if the amoxicillin or candida is the cause of

it or the shortness of breath/panic attacks, but I do know that about 1 1/2

weeks after the antibiotics is when i started suffering the breathing issues. I

also took the candida questionnaire test which shows that yeast is likely

related.

Tony,

Weaning off Lorazepam/Ativan should be done slowly as it is addictive

and can cause awful side effects. My husband was on it and had to come

off very slowly. He cut the pills in quarters and dropped by 1/4 at a

time. He had to hold it there for a week or so before dropping the next

quarter tab. He even cut the quarters in half - it was just crumbs

sometimes..... It can be done! But carefully. His doctor had told him

he may feel like he's going crazy as he weans off of it.........

Take care,

-Sharon

I don't know .......... some people are addicted very quickly and others

can take it awhile before they are addicted. You'll soon be able to

tell if you go past your regular time to take the next dose and you

started getting anxious / panicky. If that happens then you'll know you

should cut them in half. On the rare occasions my husband skipped a dose

(by accident) he would begin to feel really anxious and uptight and

crazy. As he cut the doses in weaning he still had some of the anxiety

but it was manageable.

Hopefully you are one of the fortunate ones and can quit it cold turkey!
