My mom just had an anxiety attack

so i was at the library finishing up homework, and i got home to my sister being home alone and she said my mom had an anxiety attack about 30 minutes ago and really wanted to go to the hospital. apparently she just started freaking out and feeling like she was dying and my dad was trying to calm her down. he called 911 and they came and told her there isn't anything wrong, she just needs to relax, and that flipped her out even more, she thought they aren't trying to help her.
so they went to the hospital, and i got my sister and went. she seemed mellowed out, i think she just needs a good nights rest. apparently she's been taking prozac since her father died a couple of months ago, and i believe that is the cause of this. i tried talking to her about stopping the prozac and actually getting help from a therapist rather than drugging her emotions away.
anyway, i'm back home with my sister, my dads still chilling with her, she seemed to be getting tired, probably gonna sleep there and come home in the morning.
man, emotional breakdowns are intense.

They are indeed. I have had two major breakdowns in my lifetime and I'm only 18. Inability to speak, time slows down, trouble breathing, sweating, crazy heart rate, its a nightmare.

Prozac is evil. I tried walking that road once, and it caused far more trouble than it was worth... nearly ruined my relationship with my sister.
Though, that came from just dropping off the dosage from what I was at to nothing at all... bad way to stop. You hae to ween yourself off of that shit.
On its own I don't know how it could cause a panic attack or anything.
Sorry to hear that, either way. I know how stressful family shit can be.

They put me on benzodiazepines. I hated it, they slowed me down and made me appear mentally challenged or something. Almost unresponsive. Those were dark times indeed.

I never felt slowed down or anything by the prozac... actually I did experience a degree of mental clarity...
But I remember when coming off of them... probably a week into having dropped my dosage to zero...
I was in the car with my buddy, and we were coming home for picking up food and smokes... I was fine, absolutely nothing to be pissed/worried about... and all of a sudden this immense feeling of despair washed over me in the car... almost broke down crying right there... and I'm not the crying type to put it in prospective... very frightening to go through. Things only got worse from there.
To the OP: Has your mom told you what was going on leading up to the attack?

Prozac is a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, I wouldn't expect you to be slowed down I wouldn't think. Although these days the SSRI's have anti-anxiety properties along with the depression treatment so idk...

The only thing that's ever helped me was a little bit of marijuana. Fuck the pharmaceutical industry and fuck medication. Don't need any of it, it's evil.

I agree wholeheartedly! With a little bud, you can find the solace that you need. Love doesn't hurt, either.
