I can’t afford to pay all that money for it so I am hoping that someone might be willing to share the information with me because I need help ASAP. I can’t function like this. If you know what the cure/treatment is for the Linden Method please let me know so I can hopefully get better. Thanks.

I have them randomly. They arent brought on by any certian situation. I would prefer not to be on any type of medication for them. But I am not opposed to natural treatment. I guess Im just looking for all the answers I can get.

I have been having really bad panic attacks and I am trying to find a doctor to see for treatments. My question is can I see an Otolaryngologist for panic attacks?

I need to get a job and get on with my life, but how can I do that when simply driving to the store sends me on a hellish fit of fear and panic? I cant even get to the doctors easily….

If you were once a sufferer and found treatment, your opinion would be most valid.

I have fought panic attacks for over 40 years and am more
than tired of all the different doctors from all fields of practice.
I have even had doctors now-a-days tell me you’ve had this
long that no treatment can help ! Any ideas are better than
theirs. Thanks

I don’t use drugs. Please help. Any book titles are welcome.

I already went through two panic attacks recently during which I had to be taken into hospital. Whenever I am experiencing those panic attacks I feel like I am going insane there is fear inside me that makes me tremble and makes my whole body cold. i hyperventilate and experience pains in some areas of my bodies, chest especially. My heart so fast that it feels like it is goign to rip a hole through my chest.

I need to know if there are any available "home made" treatments. And what is there to prevent them.. as well as what can I when I get a sudden panick attack.

I am taking Ativan and Paxil. I was taking Xanax but it does not work on me any longer.

Let me brifely describe what I think causes my panic attacks
I am in BAD finanical situation which creates lots of stress. I am working in a stressful evnironment. Recently, I am expriencing anxiety and I do not want to deal with many people and just want to be left alone.

Help, please.

I have had panic attacks and generalized anxiety for awhile now and I get short of breath and have chest pains. I have been to the er and my family dr. many times and they all say that my chest pain and tachycardia is due to panic/anxiety. I am having a hard time believeing this! So, do the beta blockers work and how long are they usually prescribed for this and how long do they take to work? I still am havong symptoms. I am also just starting effexor xr 150mgs. Any advice would be helpful!

Where do I go to get some kind of treatment for panic attacks? What kind of doctor?
thanks

I work with a young lady who is beginning treatment for depression, and she also gets panic attacks. Is there anything I can do to help her when that happens or should she go home?

I had an MRI test done about 2.5 yrs ago. I was laying down while the pounding took place. I was fine for 2-3 hours of tests until about the last 15 minutes. I felt that the blanket on me was going to "catch fire". I could tell that my mind was beginning to hallucinate, and my practical logical side of my brain went out the door. The technician stepped out for a break, and I could not get anyone’s attention. I panicked and began yelling her name and saying to get me out.

She finally returned, and I thought I survived without any wear.

Then, about 6 months ago, I went to a wax museum, and had to push my hubby (he’s in a wheelchair), and 1/2 of the display was fine, well lit and wide aisles. But the 2nd section was dark (it highlighted monsters), and was narrow, had to go through doors over & over, and the corners….oh man! I had to literally pick up the wheelchair and bit by bit turn the chair to go around the tight corners (that’s quite a feat, since I weigh 100# less than my hubby).
So, then I was trying to hurry it up, and it seemed to wind more & more and more & more doors and noises and I began to get panicky.
So, that is incident #1

Incident #2 happened about 2 wks ago. My hubby tries to save money on our utilities, so he doesn’t have the ac on, but does run the overhead fan. The temp in the apt can average 84-87 degrees. It isn’t bad if you get down to your skivvys. In any case, I was sitting there, watching TV and I suddenly felt that I was suffocating. I got up and felt like I had to run out of the apartment, but was able to settle myself back down. I literally felt that I was going to pass out & die right there.

Now, I have no history of panic attacks before these 2. Do you suppose that they are related to that MRI examination? Have you had something similar happen to you or someone you know? Would sailors in submarines have sensations like I had?

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?

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.

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…

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’ve had panic attacks or anxiety attacks recently. For a while they went away, but now they seem to be back. I’ve had two in the last 4 days. My wife told me I woke up screaming one night and the other I woke up and my heart was racing and I felt like I was going to die. I was tested for heart problems a year ago, but they didn’t come back with anything. My doctor prescribed me with Toprol when I had those problems a year ago, but it didn’t seem to help. Is there anything I can do naturally to stop this? My wife says that I worry too much. I think life is overwhelming. It seems like nothing is safe(e.g. Most food has artery clogging trans-fat in it, the water is tainted with chlorine, metals and who knows what else and Milk has hormones and anti-biotics added to it) and most people are heartless.

I was diagnosed with anxiety about 5 months ago and am currently taking Zoloft for it. I am a first time mom and my son is 8 months old. Following childbirth, I had eclampsia with seizures. Ever since I had these, I am TERRIFIED of having another one…which doctors say is HIGHLY unlikely! Well, since then I have had bloodwork, 2 MRI’s, CAT scan, and all kind of heart tests. I still get lightheaded at times…and my heart feels like it is beating fast and I feel like Im going to faint. I cant stand feeling like this! Do you think the lightheadedness could be due to the Zoloft? Also, there is no way that heart attack symptoms could last this long, right?

My younger sister, who has never flown in an airplane in her life, is coming to visit me in Italy over the summer. She is very excited, but also very nervous about the trip, because she will be travelling on an airplane for the first time ever, she will be alone, and she sometimes has anxiety attacks or panic attacks in situations like that. She is 22 years old and she has seen her doctor about medication, etc. I’m just looking for any tips for how to make the trip as stress-free as possible for her.

Also, should she inform cabin crew on the plane about her situation, in case she does have a panic attack? And if so, how should she go about doing that? She is worried that cabin crew might over-react and think she is a threat or very ill or something, which could cause chaos on the airplane. Has anyone out there ever dealt with this kind of thing before? Is it ok to give a stewardess a note about such a condition?

I am not sure what the symptoms of an anxiety attack are but I was sweating like crazy and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and my heart was beating crazy. I felt like I was extremely scared, the way my heart was beating, but for no apparent reason. It took 3 or 4 hours to fall asleep.
And no, I don’t do any drugs, drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes.
And no, I didnt have anything to be nervous about the next day.

Is it just stress? Should I see a doctor? Is this what an anxiety attack feels like?

I have social anxiety disorder but I don’t take any medication. Since I started school again it’s gotten worse. I also have panic attacks. I don’t want to take any drugs. Can you give me some tips on how to control it?

I have recently begun treatment with a new psychiatrist for depression and anxiety. I’ve been on wellbutrin for years but quit when i got pregnant. i ended up having a miscarriage and was feeling alright until around 5-6 months later. My old psychiatrist retired ( who i hadn’t seen in years) so i’ve started with a new one. We resumed the wellbutrin and short term treatment with xanax since i had used it previously with my other doctor for a few months. What i didn’t realize was the start dose he put me on was very low. .25-.5 mg three times a day. This hadn"t been effective when i last used it so i ended up taking one extra pill daily. ( at night for sleep problems). well i ran out obviosly early and tried to call in the refill thinking there wouldn’t be a problem only asking for half the prescription because i had a upcoming check up with her. The pharmacist refused and it was over the week-end. I had a full blown panic attack. this scares me. I called the doctor on call and felt like an idiot but explained exactly what i’d been taking. I will call monday but I’m concerned that the reaction I had means I addicted even though it’s only been 2 weeks on the meds. Any advice? I am scared and am still experiencing a hard time breathing. Please, what would you do?

I never realized how much anxiety and stress can take a toll on your body. I’ve had to deal with alot of it lately and its causing headaches, body aches, anxiety attacks (heart palpatations, panic, fear, shaking, feeling like i can’t catch my breath), What are some of your symptoms and how did you deal with it?

If someone starts having panic attacks and depression after recreational drug use, will the problems go away eventually? Even if this person has stopped the drug use and the anxiety and panic and depression is still there 9 months later?

Now i know of course depression is linked to them but i went to a health food store and the worker suggested some things B complex, Magnesium, potassium and of course a multi vitamin, but my question is that on the magnesium i bought has in parentheses
( Magnesium Aspartate) now i read on line that that type of mag. will not be absorbed by your body is that right?

second question how many mg. do i need a day to help reduce my symptoms and physical attacks?

I get severe panic/anxiety attacks sometimes. It’s happened a lot more recently, and I’ve went to the doctors to check everything but they said it was okay. Usually I get a slight anxiety attack during school, but it’s not as bad as my severe ones. Anyone know anything I can do to relax myself while getting these? I usually start breathing really fast and somewhat lose breath, I get very hot, and my heart RACES. Anyone know anything that I can do or use to relax myself? Thanks.
