Has anyone here had like absolutely terrible side effects when starting a new medicine? Like sent you into a panic attack made you think you were dying side affects?? This has happened once before 2 years ago for me and then I’ve been up all night in a panic attack, no sleep, because I guess a new medicine. I literally felt as if I was dying and my heart is still pounding out of my chest. I don’t wanna be alone in this. Anyone else get scary freak outs sometimes when trying new medicine that doesn’t do well for them ?!

I took some quetiapine a few days ago around lunchtime, at first it just knocked me out, I slept for a few hours, that night my heart rate was 10bpm more than my resting, I was laying in bed panicking.

I know logically with the half life of the medication that it had nothing to do with it rather psychosomatic symptoms produced by my mind and my worry.

Try some mindfulness exercises and deep breathing to take your mind of it :)
