I've been facing panic attacks since last year and extreme anxiety as well it all went extreme after my breakup and now I don't feel happy anymore.
Everytime I think of past I get severe panic attacks lasting upto 20 mins
Sometimes I feel like I can't handle it anymore and to end everything, I also face difficulty in breathing during that times
I was suddenly put from clonotril 0.5 to clonazepam 0.25. experiencing bad morning anxiety and my vitamin b12 levels gotten low
My original psychiatrist is not available for a month and i feel these are withdrawal symptoms cause I was absolutely fine before taking 0.25.
Severe throat tightness and choking sensation (globus sensation) with dry mouth.
Air hunger (feeling unable to catch a full or satisfying breath), shallow breathing, chest pressure, and body trembling.
Primary Triggers & Core Fear:
Traveling alone far from home (beyond a 15 20 km safety boundary), solo travel by bus, train, or flight, crowded places, exam centers, and unfamiliar environments.
Catastrophic Thought: If I go far from home, my throat will choke completely, my breathing will stop, and I will die or faint.
Social Fear: Fear of panicking in public, shouting for help, and experiencing extreme embarrassment. Safety Behaviors & Avoidance:
Forced yawning to pull air in, constantly touching/checking the throat, needing family or friends to accompany travel, and escaping back home during panic waves.
All medical tests (ECG, Heart, Lungs, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and Oxygen levels) are 100% normal.

I would like to have a conversation with a doctor who actually has knowledge about CHS because i feel im going through the symptoms since a month now and need help.
I used to consume 2 joints a day, i decided to reduce to 1 joint a month ago, and ive stopped since today because its nit getting any better.
very confused between withdrawal and CHS.
I take 550 lithium at 1 pm and 150 at 9pm. Can i take lithium levels test at 9am next day. Would the timing work as it is 12 hours from last dose
