I am currently in the ER with new panic symptoms I’ve never had. I have suffer with Panic Disorder for 6 years now, and I thought I fully knew the symptoms that could arise.

Tonight, I randomly woke up with my entire body burning. It felt like I was literally on fire and still feels that way now. It hurts so much, on a physical level.

I also had intense muscle contractions and spasms in my legs. They literally stopped working, like stiff and made of stone. My dad tried to get me to walk and my legs didn’t budge, just wobbled uncontrollably.

I also got a weird metal taste in my mouth. That’s the second time that happened. The first was during a smaller attack days ago.

I just took an Ativan, and I’m mostly stabilized, but my skin still feels like it is burning off of my body.

I panicked more because I thought uncontrollable spasms, muscle contractions, and burning sensations were beyond panic. This doesn’t feel in the realm of what I knew panic to be for the past 6 years. I feel like it’s getting so much worse and I’m helpless to it progressing.

I don’t even know if anyone here can offer me anything but I’m clinging on by a thread here. This is no way to live. I want to live my life but I see no light in sight.

Hi all.

For starters, until last year, I had been on Seroquel for about 2 years with very good effectiveness. I got off it last year to see if I could be ok without it.

Throughout the last year, it’s been a slow decline and recently I am crashing into a bad place, perhaps even worse than when I first started taking it. I have rampant PTSD-related memories and not feeling real or like my surroundings are real either. Faces, hands, even trees are randomly terrifying me.

I restarted Seroquel last week, with 25mg the first night, then 50mg for two nights, and 100 mg for the last two nights. I am currently planning to take 100mg nightly from here on out as per my psychiatrist, but I’m terrified of these symptoms. I can’t remember how long it took for Seroquel to work when I first started, but does anyone here have any insights? I know it’s not instant, but even a vague timeline might help make this more bearable

Told my future husband I wanna learn choreography to this for our wedding someday. She cooked on this!! Feel good song of my decade
