What are the chances of my head healing?

Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with panic attacks?

Yes, stop valuing life so much. It sucks anyways and we are all going to die one day so the sooner you stop worrying about the possibility of death the sooner you will get over worrying whether something bad will happen to you during your episodes. Sorry if it was blunt but its just my honest opinion.

Get prescribed propanolol. It is your bodys fight or flight response going loopy (the panic attack).

ive done truckloads of psychs, and have taken a break
5 years heavy duty style is alot of tripping.

gave me tinnitus and a whole bunch of other crap, got serotonin syndrome 4 times
first few times on mdpv and dxm and it was crazy i blacked out and enetered a rainbow forest
my friends thought i was dying, but i was reborn as something else...

be careful out there, too many psychs and dissociatives and you get stuck
if your mind isnt strong like mine, it can be bad news bears

couple of people in the circle got spun out too, everyone floats back in time :)

gabapentin and baclofen help me, try out those medicines ....

^ Why you guys dissing my suggestion?

I once smoked too much cannabis after having not smoked it for many years and my heart rate and blood pressure went crazy so I began to freak out thinking I was going to die which then made my heart even worse and I began to have a panic attack, a few seconds into the panic attack I thought to myself "great I hate my life anyways and this would be a perfect way to die..bring it on" so I just closed my eyes waiting for death but soon as I began to do so all my symptoms settled right away and the so called panic attack didnt even have a chance to escalate so my advice is quite valid and effective.

Panic attacks may be triggered due to physical causes but your mental behaviour is what feeds them, often caused by the fear of having a heart attack or dying, if you change your perspective before they escalate you will find it resolves before it even begins.
 
I said it mainly because not valuing your own life as a solution to panic attack will have some seriously negative side effects on the rest of your life afterwards.

Depends how you meant it i suppose.

Actually this guys right.
Acceptance kills the anxiety/Panic horrible rush feeling for me too when im having a bad time.

you can always look back afterwards and think ah well i didnt mean that, Life is valuable !


As for the chances of your brain healing....

perhaps you would like to read my story and after effects of my one and only Experience with DXM @ 800mg Powder - http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=572593

I had similar effects, But that Pressure feeling DID go away in my case after a few weeks. Sounds very severe that you are still suffering now though!
 
I have experienced many pani attacks and have also had severe depression, at that point I wanted more than anything to die, it was all I could think about some days yet I still had panic attacks.

Accepting works for sure but death isn't always the source of the problem. I usually just accept the fact I am going to have a panic attack and let it be if it happens these days and that usually kills it but thats because the source of mine was my anxiety and fear of the panic attack itself induced them the most.

Yeah.. When I first noticed it, It was just a deep headache that appeared on the right side of my head that never seemed to go away. Now it seems like it is alot of pressure in the lower back of my head (brainstem?), face, eyes, ears, nose and some mild pain in my teeth. It feels almost exactly like a swimmers ear infection I had about 2 years ago. Its a dark pressure that just seems like it's here ALL of the time.

During the first couple months after, I just thought to myself .."this is no big deal, it should heal up in time." Towards the second month I started to get worried and I would smoke some cannabis. I think this either increased my perception of the pressure or actually increased the pressure. Then I would get panic attacks while on cannabis.. so I said it was time to stop. I stopped smoking and drinking for awhile and everything seemed like it was getting better and one day I decided to smoke cannabis again. After this last time I just felt more increased pressure in my head and I stopped once more. I've been trying to be completely sober for a week or so. My only other option now is to try and go to an ER (I believe in the US I can walk in and have the bill put on my credit.) and see what the scans say. Other then that.. I have nothing.

another valid method might be to remind yourself that you can't die from smoking cannabis. ;)

That may work for people who get panic attacks while on cannabis but not in my case where my panic attacks are usually focused on the damage I may have done to my head.

i was offering my advice as a more logical alternative to "it'll be alright if this cannabis kills me."

that sucks that your panic attacks get that bad though sorry :(<3:)

oh, and in a more direct response to your OP, i've done enough DXM to kill like 87 elephants and i'm doing alright. i know its not too scientific though.

(i want to qualify the following with a big THIS MIGHT BE BAD ADVICE, on account of me having nothing more than a high school diploma if not on account of anything else)

however

in my experience, and in the experience of others i have personally known, re-exposing yourself to a low dose of DXM can help you return to normality after 3rd and 4th plateau trips. we're talking low 2nd plateau at most... i have no idea what the mechanism for this would be but like i said myself and several others seem to have experienced this.

good luck on anything you decide to do <3
 
Thank you thenightwatch! I have never had any panic attacks before .. just recently started getting them after using marijuana after this head experience. So it's very scary. I was fine for months but I guess recently (past 2 weeks) I have been having a real sense of hopelessness and the panic attacks started.

I really had an open mind that I would heal in the beginning and all seemed to be going well. Once I started losing hope it seemed everything felt worse than it really was. I start getting a sense of the unknown, death, doom, suicide and the word "permanent" races through my brain. I even think about the chance that it might be cancer or a tumor. I really hate waking up with that feeling of hope shot down as soon as I feel that dull feeling in the back of my head (I get a bad panic attack at that moment with shivers and nausea due to the fear).

I plan on going to the ER soon to hopefully get some tests done. I have no other choice since I have no medical insurance. I am hoping to rule out more serious causes so maybe the panic attacks will stop.

I wanted to ask you, you said that you had taken tons of DXM. How often did you dose again? Did you ever make a mistake and take 2 high doses really close together?

I just made this mistake one time, I cannot believe it ruined the way I feel. I am wondering if anyone else has dosed like this before. I guess there is always the chance that the dosing just triggered some kind of SUPER sinus infection or something because that is what it feels like mostly (lots of pressure in temples, ears, etc) except never ending.

I don't really see anyone giving a better answer than Sekio already has. Regardless, this doesn't really fit the forum.
