Can I smoke after receiving diazepam for panic attack?
The numbness of hands, feet, and mouth is the result of decreased blood flow in panic attacks. The effect of smoking on the body can make people suffer from panic attacks. Given the fact that you were prescribed diazepam at the ER, smoking might hurt it. Stay away from smoking as it is better for you. If you are in bad shape and have to, you can try a no-nicotine pack.

Anxiety, dizziness, palpitations, and depression can be tough to deal with. You often feel anxious, which makes you worry a lot.

Why Can't I Sleep at Night for 16 Years?
Your symptoms might be due to a condition called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. This happens when your body clock gets out of sync, causing you to feel sleepy during the day and awake at night. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep at night and feeling tired during the day. To improve this, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid bright screens before bed, and try to spend time outdoors in sunlight.

Will my anxiety medications harm me?
It’s totally okay to feel worried about the medications you’ve been given. Velaxin is for anxiety and panic attacks, Abizol and Zolomax are for anxiety and OCD. These drugs are generally safe when used correctly but can cause dizziness or drowsiness as common side effects. You must follow your doctor’s orders and tell them if anything strange is happening to you.
