Vent/Vertigo induced anxiety.
Yesterday at work had to go to a store to get some supplies. Work is kinda a "second" home to me, so my comfort is manageable most days while working.
However yesterday I had to go get some supplies, I had felt ok so I thought I would be fine. On my drive over I have a panic attack over the thought of getting a flat tire or some type of vehicle failure.
At the store for supplies the panic attack causes vertigo. Seeing im falling into a bad attack I pull out a klonopin and take .25 which is my normal dose during attacks. As im also on a pain medication that makes them both feel "stronger"
Klonopin is newer for me. I was on xanax prior. Xanax worked great without rebound Anxiety. Yet, today my anxiety being at an 8.5-9 out of 10
I dont know if I want to take another klonopin as I'm starting to wonder if the klonopin is causing my anxiety to become worse. Veritgo is still present. Took today and tomorrow off work, at home yet can not reset.
Should I take the klonopin or white knuckle it one hope tomorrow will be better without anxiety.
I just worry the Klonopin is causing disassociation and increased anxiety
