And I'm scared. I feel like they're coming to get me. Can hear mumble voices like people talking on a radio. It's like they're walking round my house. I'm sure they can't be real because people keep telling me that they're not So why do I keep hearing them?

i'll bet it is tricky, blinks!

i was just on the ven and i had diazepam for when i got really acute panic attacks, or when i had nights of waking with them.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:46

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:46

i've had a good few calls about auditory hallucinations caused by medications... recently a wee boy actually. poor wee thing.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:49

i know two people who got auditory hallucinations for an anti-malerial drug! my ex took that same drug once, too, and he said he got unbelievably bad nightmares.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:49

ah yes, it's a beta-blocker. am crap with med names.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:50

that's some scary shit... frightening stuff.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:50

is hubbos calling out of hours, MM?

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:51

he was a hard as nails sleeper, too, blinks, this guy could sleep through anything, but was waking up screaming his head off.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:52

how's it going, memoo?

hope he's getting through to someone now.

glad the ven's working for hte depression - works a treat for me, mostly.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:53

beta blockers worked to an extent when i had panic attacks in my twenties... i was sent on a bizarre short course to help people with anxiety disorders and actually that helped me the most. what helped was a combination of the material they gave you about what actually happens to your body when you're anxious or having a panic attack AND the fact that so many of the other people were waaaaay more anxious than me... it made me feel like it could be worse. ha! perhaps not what they intended but it helped me hugely.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:54

my mother has COPD and actually learned some great tips for panic attack relief in a course for COPD-sufferers, too.

she passed them on to me and i use them :o.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:56

cool. hand him your meds so he can tell them what you're taking exactly.

One of the things that helped me in hospital was realising I was no way as ill as some of them in there.
