I also experienced a panic/anxiety attack the night of my titration. Since you can't talk with your mask on, I tried to signal them since they are supposed to be watching on camera, and finally had to clap to get their attention. I didn't think to just take it off!@!@ What a dummy!!! At any rate, I got up, went to the bathroom and put the mask back on and finished sleeping out the night and was OK after that. I had also never experienced anything like that before. But when I got my CPAP machine and started using it at home, I have never experienced the anxiety again. Just a one-time, "I can't believe I'm sleeping like this" feeling, I guess.
