Is it possible to experience Panic attacks and Anxiety attacks at the same time?
Well, i was originally diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety disorder. But ever since i screwed around with my pills one time and smoke a decent amount of pot. I had these crazy feelings that were more complex then my original disorder itself. I was/am on Prozac ( novo- fluoxitene) I have been on them long enough where they should have a decent hold of my nervous system and my Seretonin levels. I know i know i probably screwed up big time. But i dont have Psychosis i know that, nor hallucinations etc. I am basically saying that when i see symptoms listed for Both 'anxiety' & 'panic' attacks. I have a decent amount of symptoms from either list. I was wondering if i had managed somehow to attain both of these disorders at once? is it possible? Any help would be freakin awesome. If you would like to tell me one, catch me at stevencarr86@gmail.com.

Nope. Panic attack is a form of anxiety. They are, infact, the same thing. Panic is just anxiety with absolutely no material cause, no real threat caused. Its the anxiety reaction shot up so high and so lacking any meaningful source, that it feeds off itself. Like a firestorm. Or a nuclear bomb.
Anxiety attack panic attack same thing. Panic attacks are caused by anxiety. I've been dealing with this my whole life pretty much I'm on welbutrin now. how's Prozac? I haven't tried that yet and I was thinking about getting on something different but anyway weed is really bad for anxiety. I used smoke literally all day everyday. I had to stop because it wasn't fun anymore and I would automatically go into.a panic attack. sooo lat off the weed for a while at least. hope I helped a little!
they're both the same thing.
Personally I don't feel they're the same. I feel that they're very similar but I always feel a distinction between the two. I'm not sure if it's possible to experience both simultaneously but you can have both disorders I believe.
