Hey everyone, does anyone ever get a panic attack after taking an anti depressant and drinking coffee in the morning? Is that normal? I feel like i'm bugging out.

I haven't been getting panic attacks for a year or so, but I know that caffeine might increase the chance of triggering one. Next time you drink coffee, or take a pill, be prepared on a conscious level to be more anxious than normal. That way, you should be able to have more control over the panic, since you know what's coming.

Yeah, i was off my Wellbutrin for like 3 or 4 days because i didn't have enough money to get a refill, and just got back on yesterday, and now my mind is all over the place. I get really scared about life, and being affraid to die, and not having money or a job. I hate feeling like this. Hate it!

Oh, I see. Remember, that you're not alone. I have similar fears everyday, but everything will turn out alright both you and me, I'm sure. It's very understandable to have that uncertainty and fear about life, especially when you're dealing with depression and anxiety. Do you have a therapist, or some other professional who you can turn to for support in these matters, if you don't mind me asking?

No. I'm unemployed and don't have enough for a doctors visit. There's not really anyone i can talk to who understands. Some family and friends think i'm screwed up. They don't understand depression or what i go through. I'm a really nice person. I'm respectable and i have manners. I just don't get why this has to happen to me. I am praying everyday for a miracle.

I see, alright. Have you tried talking with your family about how you feel? You must try to make your family understand and see the condition you're suffering from, because they will love you no matter what. Right now, you still have the forums which is still an amazing place for peer support. Because I'm from Finland, I can't really say what sort of services you should head for in your country, because I only know the ones here. There must be some voluntary work based services that don't cost money from where you are from, I bet. Also, there is a foundation that provides a working community with mental health support, which is internationally known as the Fountain House, I believe. Look that up.

Look through some of the utilities online, which might have mental health support in your local area, or make a new thread for that. There are people here who have a better understanding of that, than me. I hope this helps, take care and be strong! Everything will turn out just alright.
