Anxiety and Panic Symptoms After a Meltdown

Post Reply New Topic

Just wondering if any Aspies here with severe anxiety and/or panic disorder could help me figure something out.

Last Thursday I had a bad meltdown/panic attack that almost prompted a stay in a mental hospital. I was able to get myself calmed down and back to a certain level of equilibrium, but ever since that episode I'm still experiencing trembling in my jaw.

I'm not necessarily any more or less stressed than I usually am, but the quivering is almost constant. I've read that some will experience some panic attack symptoms for a day or two after the initial episode, but I'm still shaking close to a week later. My therapist seemed to think it odd as well and I'm trying to get in to be seen by a psychiatrist for medication adjustments.

Until then is this something I should be at all concerned about? What are your experiences with post-panic attack symptoms?
