Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Panic Attacks While On Zoloft And Klonopin
Question: I am on business trip in China. I am 51 years old. I am not feeling too well. Actually, I am little concerned and scared. It appears that I have my panic attacks back. However, I was wondering if huge time change, menopause and prescription and supplements that I am taking may have something to do why I feel the way I feel. I am taking Zoloft, klonopin and now ambien to fall asleep plus 2 supplements 1)amberen to ease down on menopause side-effects and supplement 2)Alli for weight control. I have been taking same drugs in XXXXXXX and have not felt any side effects at all. One thing is the drastic time change and I had a very "assertive-Chinese style" deep-tissue massage on Sunday. I started to feel bad yesterday Monday. Can you advise what could possible been happening.
Thank you in an advance for the prompt help. XXXXXXX

Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
First of all I like to inform you that the supplements and the medications are unlikely cause of current panic symptoms. In fact it is possible that zoloft and klonopin helping you to stay calm and preventing the very severe panic attack.
Having said this I feel the time zone change and the so called Chinese type assertive message is likely stressor to stir your mind to bring back the panic symptoms.
In current situation I feel you should do the following
1. Keep yourself hydrated
2. Do deep breathing exercises and
3. Taka Xanax as need basis
I hope this assists you.
