Can I Smoke After Panic Attack and Diazepam Injection?
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.

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.
