Tachycardia/panic attacks are awful.
As usual, I woke up way too early today after too little sleep and thought I'd try a new supplement to get back to sleep. I didn't really expect any effect, but ten minutes later I had a severe panic attack (the first after many months) with shortness of breath, tingling extremities and a strange feeling in my head. I got up and drank a lot of water, my legs felt like jello. I was already imagining ending up in the hospital, but luckily it went away on its own, even though the tingling sensation occurred a few times afterwards.
Apparently these reactions can occur, as I read afterwards, but at this intensity it seems to be rather uncommon or to happen at too high dosages.
After that, I couldn't sleep at all. Every time I was about to fall asleep, I felt like I was going to faint. At some point I had tried to just let it happen, but there was like a barrier that I couldn't overcome. I don't know yet if I should just pop another sleeping pill today.
If a supplement like that already triggers reactions like that, I don't even want to know what SN feels like.
I guess beta blockers are essential for me then.
This sucks.
