"i am 36 and have suffered from occasional anxiety attacks since my early 20s. i get severe hot/cold sweats, tingling limbs, severe nausea/vomiting, feeling like i might crap myself, heart palpitations.  the symptoms come in increasingly bigger waves often for 6-8hrs. 

someone finally told me about lorazepam.  i was a bit afraid to take a chemical but this time, when i was sure an attack was coming i decided to take it right away. because of the lorazepam the attack didn&#039;t get worse.  it slowly faded till i was able to sleep it off. this is a huge difference from the hours of horrible physical symptoms i experienced in the past.  i hope that me sharing this helps you."
