Question by AbrenicaRuss: How to calm anxiety/panic attacks? Medication? Natural treatment? Exercises?
I recently just started having symptoms of anxiety/panic attacks about 5 days ago. I’ve talked to my doctor and he scheduled me to take an EKG, blood test, and chest x-ray. He didn’t tell me what was wrong or why I was experiencing them, he just scheduled me to take those tests, which I am taking tomorrow. He wants to wait until he gets the results, but I’m pretty sure it’s anxiety. All the symptoms lead up to it. Do herbs like Kava or St. Johns Wort really work?

Rhodiola Rosea is good for anxiety. Kava is supposed to be good as well, but it’s banned in the uk. I’m not sure about SJW but a lot of people swear by it.

It would be good to make sure you’re eating healthily, and getting enough nourishment. Exercise, even just half an hour of walking somewhere pleasant every day, is particularly good for depression and anxiety.

You might want to get a Bach rescue remedy to keep with you in case you feel anxious.

Question by malrats: can severe anxiety/panic attacks be cured without medication?
i’m constantly anxious as all hell, developed something like agoraphobia (I only go out after taking xanax or getting drunk), really if you go down the list of anxiety symptoms I have them all constantly. the worst is walking around with this horrible fog in my brain. I can’t think clearly, I get super emotional, anger problems, very agitated, etc. I’ve tried 6 different antidepressants now and they’ve all just been terrible poison. the ones I’ve taken in the past I don’t really know how they work for anxiety because this has all only developed (at least to this extreme level) within the past year. I barely leave my house once a week, and that’s only for therapy. I used to be on the go constantly with my ex-girlfriend, partying every weekend, etc, with no problems at all. and then first it started to happen when I’d go to the mall, I’d get a panic attack EVERY time. so I avoided the mall. then it would happen in my ex’s car, so I avoided her car most of the time. before long I wasn’t able to drive myself, go to any stores, go out drinking, and then eventually I wasn’t even safe from it in my own house. I ended up in a short-term mental hospital for a few days back in december, and they forced me to take celexa which didn’t help the anxiety and just made me feel completely apathetic to everything. I had gone from crying all day everyday about my breakup to not caring about anything. so I never got the script filled after I was discharged. I’ve been going to therapy for a couple of months now (hasn’t helped at all, I think I need to find a psychologist instead of just seeing a social worker), and they had me try effexor XR, and within two days it made me suicidal. went back to see the doc today and he said he didn’t feel comfortable putting me on antidepressants anymore if they had that effect on me, and tried to push bipolar meds. I told him no way, and he just told me to keep taking my xanax and see if the CBT works. in other words he basically did nothing to help me.

anyway, I’m hoping that the anxiety is all just in my head and that if I can learn to think differently and just not care about it, that it won’t bother me anymore, but the problem is it always seems to be physical symptoms and then they trigger panic attacks because I start to freak out about the way i’m breathing, or how my heart is racing, or the faint feeling in my head, and i’m constantly worrying and have racing thoughts. like I said before, I’m walking around with my head in a cloud, and it’s awful. if you asked me how I started everything I’ve just written, I wouldn’t be able to tell you the first sentence without going back up and looking at it.

anyway, because it was only $ 8 and I don’t know what else to do, I went and filled the generic celexa script today, but haven’t started taking it yet and don’t know if I’m going to. even if it could possibly help, I’d like to think I could be a stronger person than someone who has to take antidepressants for the rest of my life because I can’t cope with, basically, feeling nervous. so I don’t really know what to do. but I’m tired of being confined to my house, miserable, jobless, never going out on weekends anymore, and certainly being miserable over my ex-girlfriend instead of at least trying to meet new girls.

anyone have any success without medication? I know people are gonna say things like breathing exercises and meditation, but they just don’t work for me. breathing exercises freak me out, and I can’t calm myself down enough or stop thinking about all the nonsense that goes through my head long enough to meditate.

right now I usually take 0.5mg xanax twice a day, and if I have to go out and drive sometimes it ends up being 1.25mg or 1.5mg by the end of the day (which isn’t good cause my script will run out sooner). other than that, I just take B-vitamins and fish oil, they don’t seem to make any difference. I also work out on my home gym every other day, and have been trying to use an elliptical on the off days but i’m so out of shape that I don’t quite have all that in me yet, i’m easing myself in.

also, I’ve found that when I get drunk (but only when it’s on occasion) I don’t feel anxious at all (and then when it starts to wear off, or the next morning, I feel about 100x more anxious along with the hangover).

I guess that’s all there is to say, so please help! anyone have success with CBT for SEVERE anxiety? i’m talking constant feeling of anxiety in general with all the physical symptoms and the b rain fog and then anticipatory panic attacks, along with invariable panic attacks associated with specific events (driving, shopping, etc).

CBT is the answer. If you have a good cognitive behavioural therapist, it’s a huge bonus. I had severe social anxiety while I was growing up and therapy really helped me. I didn’t need meds. It was scary especially the graded exposure to situations that I would generally avoid. But it helped. And of course, challenging my beliefs. It was important though for me to practise heaps outside session as well as my therapist would constantly reinforce. He told me that there was no point if I didn’t do the homework so I made sure I did. I still occasionally get anxious in social situations but I do not avoid them and it’s nowhere as bad as it used to be. I may be quiet but that’s a whole lot better to having a panic attack, increased heart beat, feeling like throwing up and just feeling plain dizzy.

I have a condition where a rise of temperature at the back of my neck is emotionally triggered and I feel an aching sensation that really hurts. The emotions are based on being very angry and very sad. It is followed by chest pain making it hard to breathe and a sense of emptiness. The panic/anxiety attack symptoms that I found on the internet do not appeal to me because it is stated that most of them have a sense of impending doom, fear of death, bla bla bla~ I do not fear death nor am I suicidal. You live you die, that’s life.

So I will list down my symptoms once again.

1. Rise of temperature & aching sensation at the back of neck (emotionally triggered)

2. Difficult to breathe.

3. Calmed by smoking or listening to music.

I need someone to tell me my medical condition so I can address a specialist to prescribe me some medication as soon as possible.

Wish we had Xanax in my country.

I do not tolerate dumb answers, do not test my patience. I already have a short fuse to begin with. Thank you very much.
