EDIT: thanks everyone for the helpful replies. Definitely going to see if my primary doctor can do a phone appointment prior. Leaving this post up so if anyone googles and needs the same advice I did they have it.

Just suffered/ing an intense panic attack and reading other reddit posts about “don’t go to RUH for panic attacks” advisements caused me to stay home to not increase wait times and the logistics of it all. That being said I assume my increase in panic attacks/disassociation is linked to an anti-anxiety prescription change several months ago since I hadn’t felt this anxious/jumpy and experiencing panic attacks since 2017. Has anyone gone to a walk-in to get dosage/scrip changes? Just asking as my primary physicians next appointment is not until Sept. 23rd and after the last few days of debilitating panic attacks I want to not have this dreadful feeling. Please be kind to me I will cry ❤️

A few months ago I switched from 100 mg Setraline to 20 mg Citalopram because I found my old medication had some adverse side effects as I increased dosage to 100. I was hoping the citalopram switch would keep me sane and help the anxiety I started to re-experience but a few months in I just keep having panic attacks (haven’t had one in years) and that sinking feeling of dread daily where you need to be sleeping or constantly busy to not think too hard. Did anyone else have this effect? More than likely when my next appointment is up I will see if I can just go back to a lower Sertraline dose but with my college studies starting back up next week I’m almost tempted to try get my walk-in or urgent care to help because it feels debilitating when I’m all alone.
