Anxiety attacks in elderly (had one in middle of last night) [View all]

I'm old and have been having them recently. I'll be checking with my doctor on Monday on meds I can take that will stop them.

But in the meantime, I researched them online and found that I already have medicine, Gabapentin, that I take for lingering effects of Shingles (which occur somewhat erratically so I have it on hand).

So I took a Gabapentin and calmed down.

this is not something I would normally do, but I feel better knowing that I got relief safely.

I'm hopeful that this anxiety will not re-occur and that I am not crazy.
