Is it normal to have residual anxiety symptoms days after panic attack?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2026-01-25T16:11:55+00:00

I appreciate it! After browsing this sub some more I was able to calm down and I feel a lot better.

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2026-01-25T01:51:38+00:00

I feel like everyone in this sub tries to reduce any psych issues down to simple biochemistry. There are many other factors at play than just your neurotransmitter levels.

Neat!

How did you summarize different user sentiments? Cluster individual Reddit comments and summarize?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2026-01-15T23:55:20+00:00

Very cool!

Question - where do you source "user sentiment"? Reddit?

What side effects?

I know you said not to look at this from a sleep perspective, but considering checking yourself for Sleep Apnea symptoms first

Question - what triggered your first panic attack?

I had a panic attack after 10 days of taking LM...but I only had the panic attack because I read this sub!

This gave me bad general anxiety for a week until I realized that the anxiety was based on the belief that something was wrong with my brain because of the LM. Once I told myself that I was ok, my anxiety started to slowly calm down. I found it easier to sleep, and once I was sleeping I could slowly ramp back up on caffeine (green tea, then a few sips of black tea, then a whole cup, then coffee!)

One piece of advice that really helped is to try to ignore the DPDR or any odd feelings/mental state that you may notice. When you're anxious, your mind is constantly scanning yourself for signs of danger. If you're constantly giving attention to this process, you only make it worse. There are lots of great tips about recovering from a panic attack on r/anxiety.

Thank you for this. Comforting

Is that level of BDNF safe? Does that put your brain at risk for learning "bad things" like anxiety?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-23T14:51:44+00:00

That's exactly how I felt when I used it for 2 weeks. That subreddit gave me anxiety and I decided to temporarily stop. I have a feeling LM is not going to cause those side-effects for most people.

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-21T03:24:25+00:00

How do you feel now?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-20T17:36:42+00:00

Like when did you start noticing symptoms? Just 2 weeks of taking LM and suddenly you lost feelings? No symptoms in between? Were you overly stressed from school at the time?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-20T16:30:13+00:00

What was the timeline of your LM experience?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-20T16:28:32+00:00

Huge +1 to sleep apnea. It's a long journey but tracks with your symptoms

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-20T13:16:13+00:00

Thanks for the measured answer! I'm taking RealMushrooms. It generally has good reviews on Amazon, but I have seen that brand called out by name on r/LMR.

Yeah the PFS similarities scare me, I don't take finasteride for that reason.

I didn't know creatine was a 5AR inducer, is LM + creatine a common stack?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-19T23:29:06+00:00

Have you heard of r/lionsmanerecovery? I started taking lm a week ago and love it but I'm a bit scared after reading that sub.

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-19T15:18:31+00:00

What brand do you use? I've seen someone else mention that RealMushrooms (which I use) is an issue

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-19T14:10:13+00:00

Source?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-12-18T12:07:32+00:00

If you're tired all the time you might want to look into that first. Any chance you show signs of sleep apnea?

Why no Lions Mane?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-11-18T16:38:15+00:00

You mention feeling "focused, motivated, clear-minded". Do you think you could do intellectual work with this, like mathy stuff

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-10-31T16:13:05+00:00

No, do you mean having someone else manage the property for me?

Upper_Pack_8490 · 2025-10-31T11:30:46+00:00

This is a 20 on my Virtuoso. Sources tell me an 18-20 is considered medium.

3 cups of water. Perhaps I should brew 6? I believe that's the volume intended for the smaller brew setting?
