Sudden and intense panic/anxiety attacks 2 weeks after starting Gabapentin

Hello friends,

So I started 100mg of Gabapentin about two weeks ago, primarily for neuropathic pain. All has been well up until yesterday.

All of a sudden, I felt like I was in danger. Couldn’t sit still, stomach started to act up. After a little while, it faded, and I realized I haven’t felt anything like that in years. I really hoped it was a random fluke.

But then it happened again, just 20 minutes ago. My chest feels heavy, my stomach is a mess, and I feel like my body is in a panic but not telling me why.

Gabapentin and Mobic are the only two new meds I’ve been taking. Up until now, I was totally cool with the Gabapentin. But if it’s going to make me feel like my nervous system is freaking out before I can even register it, I don’t know if I can keep taking it.

Any insight, personal experience, etc is appreciated. I grew up with anxiety and OCD, but I’ve never really experienced sudden random panic to this degree before. The only time I’ve ever felt close to this is during my cyclic vomiting flares, so it’s like the panic is triggering me into more panic

Thrifted Kermie for my new car…

Stopped at a local thrift store to look for some summery jumpsuits, and decided to check the plushies while I was there. Found this lil bendy Kermit and a Gund Mylo bear that will also most likely be for my new car.

As you do, I tossed my thrifts into the wash. Came back at the end of the cycle to find Kermit utterly changed😂😂😂 he has never seen such blasphemy, even with being donated. I’ve decided to leave him in this twisted chaos position until he meets the new car😂😂

PLEASE NOTE: I am not attempting to sell or trade, I am looking for advice to rehome my fish. If anyone were to comment that they would take them, the fish would be completely free. I just want them happy and healthy

In an attempt to add to my Emerald Corydoras, I accidentally bought Bronze Cory’s that were sold as Emeralds. Unfortunately, they will not school with other Cory’s outside of their species, and I was not intending to add a third species to my tank. If anyone has any info or advice as to what I can do, or if anyone is interested in them, please let me know.

Corydoras are schooling, they must be in a group of 6. I only bought the 3 because I was adding them to an established school.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi friends!

I was on a hunt to add more Emerald Cory’s to my tank, and was able to find them at a Petco. Unfortunately, what was being sold as Emerald Cory’s are actually Bronze Cory’s, which I didn’t realize at first. I went back, told the staff, and an employee with 15 years of fish experience told me that “most Petco’s don’t sell Bronze Cory’s because they are rare and higher priced.” I was under the impression that Bronze Cory’s are actually more common, and frequently mistaken as emeralds. He then came back to tell me that they are the same, that they have the same scientific name and may just be a genetic mutation that is sold interchangeably under the same name.

He has ONE “Emerald,” and he showed me a video. His Cory is fully grown, and looks nothing like the Emeralds I have, at all. His Cory has much darker sides with a hint of green. My Cory’s are literally like a chrome green with a teeny hint of pink.

Am I crazy?? Is this just nonsense, or did I actually get Emerald Cory’s? I really wanted to stick to Emeralds and Albinos, but now I think I have a third school lol.

Hiya my friends! The title basically says it all. Looking for tried and true supplements. My boy is about 8 now, if that helps!

Just drove past it, it was kinda weird. There’s a white SUV stopped in the right lane of eastbound Hempstead tpke with its hazards on, no one in the car or nearby the car. It’s right in front of the parking lot the Dunkin is in.

Did anyone else see this/know what’s up?

Edit: it didn’t look like an accident, the car looked perfectly fine

Edit 2: deleted my very loose speculation of what may have occurred
