My boyfriend takes clonazepam (only .5 mg) every night for panic attacks and sleep issues. However, they no longer work for his insomnia, so he started taking a regular sleeping pill (which has helped a lot). Could this be bad for him?

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been having panic attacks. I had started smoking weed daily around the same time and last week got to thinking "Hmm, maybe the 420 is triggering my panic attacks" so I decided to stop smoking for a while and see what was up. I stopped smoking last Tuesday and noticed that I got a lot better. From Tuesday night til Sunday night I was functioning normally, no more panic attacks or uncommon anxiety (I’ve had minor anxiety my whole life, but nothing that had really affected me).

Anyways, my dumb ass decided to take ecstacy last night. I took a pink pussycat and a little later was on the verge of a panic attack again. It was so bad, I asked my mom to sleep with me (I’m a 23 year old woman!) then noticed the insomnia too. At first I thought it was her snoring, so I went to the living room to try to sleep on the couch, but the filter of the fish tank didn’t let me sleep either. I kicked her out of my room, but still couldn’t sleep. Took 3 all natural stress relief pills and nothing. My mom finally had to give me Tylenol PMs to help me knock out.

I thought I’d wake up this morning feeling like my normal self again, but I still feel as though I’m going through a panic attack. Still can’t be in the living room cos the fish tank filter makes me really nervous and my anxiety is THROUGH THE ROOF. How long is this going to last? What can I do to relieve it?

I feel I’m going insane.

I should mention that I had a coke problem for about 5 years prior to this. That might be the reason for the attacks, although 97% of the time I feel it’s triggered by use of other drugs (cannabis, E). What’s going on with me? Anyone?

Problems with citalopram?




I started celexa 10mg a day four weeks ago. After one week I went to 20mg a day. My anxiety has increased since startin the celexa. I get more panic attacks and am VERY restless. The celexa is also causing alot of sweating and hot flashes. I also think its making me very un-motivated and blunted. Its been a month and I havent felt any relief at all just Side effects! My libido however hasnt changed oddly enough. I also get insomnia since starting it which I NEVER had before. They say it takes weeeks to feel an effect and that the side effects will subside but as far as I can tell they are actually getting worse as time goes on. Anyone on celexa or was on it that had these same problems. I am thinking of tapering off or cuttting back to 10mg and see what happens. what do you think?

I’m not sure if I should mention it to my mom, it hasn’t happened since I was a kid, and for the past few weekit’s happened 4 times. It causes me to have panic attacks often, although only once have I hallucinated. Should I see a doctor?

Is there any side effects of taking Melatonin?




My mom recently got me melatonin due to my horrible sleeping issues. I’ve been taking it every night to help me sleep better. But ever since I have started taking it, my emotions have been out of control. The littlest things piss me off to the point of panic attacks. I’ve had three this week so far, and I haven’t been in a great mood. I was wondering if the melatonin doses could cause this? Because I have never felt like this before. Please help?
