When i have panic attacks my lips, face, leg and hands tingle like pins and needles and i am unable to move them why is this?

I was diagnosed with panic attacks in 2000. I was put on Klonopin and have been on it ever since. However, I lost my health insurance and therefore cannot get a new prescription from a doctor. I finally found a program that helps people with no insurance but have to wait until April for my appointment because they are so booked.

I ran out of my klonopin about 3 or 4 weeks ago and have been doing as much as I can to avoid attacks but sometimes it’s inevitable.

I have been trying to drink chamomile tea. I have also tried my hardest to stay away from caffeine but am having a hard time giving it up.

Do you have any other remedies that I could use when I feel an attack coming on?

I hate anxiety!!! Why does it have to exist??

I also hate it when people tell me to "just calm down" or "stop worrying, your’e fine" That doesn’t help me much, ya know?
Thanks for all the good remedies! I will definitely be trying those for next time

As for the prenegran (can’t spell it either, lol) i know what you mean….i’ve taken it before and it definitely helps. mostly because when i’m having an attack i also get very nauseated

Does anybody know of the effectiveness or benefits of the use of propranolol for treating anxiety (panic attack)?

I have been having panic attacks for about 3 weeks now, and it has made my life not very pleasant. I don’t know how to make them stop. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

we brought joey home last night. he left his mum at 15 week old so quite late and was used to being around people all day and 3 adult dogs. someone bought him and couldnt cope so sold him to a lady i know. she called me and asked me to take him on (at a price of course) as i wanted a play mate for my 5 month old lhasa bitch.
last night was unreal, he was very distructive in the kitchen in his crate, even with gemma and the tv on and lots of chews and bones. i took him on a long walk before hand to poop him out but this didnt work. he is very clingy and wants attention all the time. i’ve def got my hands full as gemma was a dream compared to this wwe had her from 8 week and moulded her well. i work full time but work flexy hours so am able to come hom for an hour at lunch every day.
how am i going to deal with this anxiety? i am at the vets today for a new puppy check so will talk to them as well but i was thinking of getting some DAP spray and also putting his crate by my bed for a bit and then moving it to the landing and so on, my mum is going to have both dogs a couple of days a week till he comes round a bit. i hope it wont affect gemma too much but i also want to make this puppy healthy and happy too, i have bonded with him already and just want him to be a dream like gemma!

I’ve always suffered from depression and anxiety, but my anxiety attacks started getting out of hand when I was working at my last job. After I got laid off in 2008, the attacks grew worse and more frequent. After I got settled into my new job which I’m currently at, the attacks subsided. Recently, due to stress and pressure at work as well as financial problems in my personal life, the anxiety attacks have returned. They occur mostly at work, thereby affecting my performance. Is there anything I can do prevent this??

P.S. I’ve been in therapy but I’ve never been on meds. I would love to return to therapy but I can’t afford it right now, even if my health insurance will cover a portion of the bills.

What are some of the medications that are not approved for panic disorder but are prescribed by physicians for this disorder? I suffer from panic disorder and would like to know some suggestions when I ask my doctor. What meds has anyone had success with?

I’m currently on Effexor XR 150mg, Vistiril 50mg 3 times a day and Xanax ER 2mg. Is this a common mixture of Meds to treat Panic attacks? I feel better than I did before the treatment but I still have attacks from time to time. Is there a better combo of scrips to consider?

It all started when my Dr. changed my thyroid medication dose. I couldnt go no where, my blood pressure would go sky high. Now I can go places but I have to dose up on the xanax before I go. I need someone to help me. The Dr. wont and I have no insurance. Help Please!

I try to keep myself busy but sometimes this over powering feeling of loneliness overwhelms me with this incredible feeling of anxiety.

My symptoms when in public discussions with people or sitting through a public lecture or conference meeting. I lose concentration and become light headed. I feel very uncomfortable. This feeling usually will last through out the whole meeting and even about 30 min after. I have a hard time eating soon after as well because I have trouble swallowing. Can someone help me out? I have been to the doctor and she prescribed me a anti depression, anxiety medication. I don’t really want to take this because of the side effects. Please help

IF anyone had been successful at any remedies for panic attacks,
stage fright and anxiety please tell me..thanks
PS I have tried deep breathing, it doesn’t work

my spouse has anxiety and panic attacks. she will not go anywhere with me either for fear of panic attacks. i want to spark up our relationship with some fun and being romantic. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this with her condition?
Thanks for your responses, very much appreciated.

I have started having terrible anxiety attacks when I go to the doctor or the dentist.

I suffer from panic disorder which almost cripples me in the mornings. I am anxious about the coming day and I would like to find a website that would give me support and allow me to know I am not alone in what I go through. I would also like to know if anyone else that reads this suffers from something similar.

Sometimes I get them but I would also like to know if other people get them too. I know that people do but very few people are ever candid about it. I also get mild anxiety attacks when I’m in a very large crowd of people. Not that I am scared of people but I just feel very closed in around a bunch of people. I would like not hear about taking medication or seeing a doctor. Because what if there were no doctors or medications that you can take for it, Thank you and good advice is helpful.

Does anyone know what the most amount of time a person can stay on disability while being treated for anxiety and panic attacks is? I was out on disability for a gallbladder surgery I had. I developed anxiety and panic as a result. My doctor has started me on Lexapro for 6 months. I was suppose to return to work next week, but he extended it for 2 weeks. If I am not ready to return to work how long can I keep asking for an extension?

Please tell me how long you were are out and receiving disability before you returned to work.

Thank you for your answers in advance!!!!
6/13 Saw my Dr. today. Seems he subscribes to the theory that my new release day is 2 weeks in the future, then I have to return to him for him to determine if I can have an extention for another 2 weeks! The system is driving me crazy, why can’t he just give me 3 months at time?!
Thanks Whatever!

I’ve been having a lot of pretty bad panic attacks recently, so much so that they last between about 1 and half and 3 hours, or so Im told I dont actually remember. I never really truely calm down, as I’m shaking so much I tend to just were myself out and fall asleep/unconscious? I’m really beginning to wonder if it happens again whether i should get my friend to call for a medic to calm me down with something. I’ve been to my GP and I have a refferal to the hospital in a week but if I have an attack before then do you think it would be wise to seek medical attention?
Sorry…
for those asking, im 20 and im not on any meds. Ive had mental health issues for a while, including self harm. My last attack i had I spent hours panicking and fighting with my friend as I was trying desperatly to hurt myself…

I Need Help Im Have One

They think it’s an act for attention, when it’s not. I know I have them, & when I fall out & faint, they yell at me, telling me to get up. They did that to this other young lady who had just had a baby, & her baby got taken away, so she had a panic attack. How serious are panic attacks? Are they REALLY serious health-wise? Why don’t people take them seriously. If I have an anxiety headache, people call me a delusional hypochondriac & say it’s all in my mind when it’s not.

I want him to be able to come to me when he needs help but i dont know what will help him when he has an attack.

i’ve had 2 anxiety attacks in the lsat 3 days. iv had all the symptoms except for 2. do i need psychotherapy or can it be treated by medication?
