I dunno, I never heard of this before. When it happened it was a bit scary.

Well, I only slept 5 hrs in 3 days. Midterm is today's afternoon and just too much to remember...And i'm abusing the adderall so that I can go without sleep and study.

It was 2am when I was already feeling a bit lightheaded and tired. After I took another dose of adderall, I felt weird. I had shortness of breath, pain in my right hand, tinglings in my hands and feet and dizziness. Thx God it was the right hand. I would panick more if it's the left hand. Kept checking my ankles to see if they were swollen. Didn't seem like a heart attack, i'm 22. I found info about panic disorder online.

But it was scary. I thought something bad was gonna happen. I was thinking if i just died before I stayed up studying for some stupid exam it would be lame. After a while it got better. Still I could feel the tightness of my chest.

Will this panic disorder a one time thing or it will come back?
is it related to general anxiety disorder?

I can tell I have mild depression, some social anxiety and general anxiety. My doctor could tell too. My chief complaint is that my brain feels empty. I can't remember much. I have ADHD but i'm not talkative. Because my brain feels empty I just don't know what to say. And then self esteem goes down and feel like I have social anxiety. But he was not doing anything about it. I kept complaining the adderall only helped my attentiveness a bit. My brain is still not functioning. He keeps my adderall. He recommends an excercise program. :mad:

I would definately not diagnose yourself with panic disorder because of one panic attack feeling after ODing on Adderall.
If you never abuse Adderall again, it will likely never happen again, since it never happened before.
