I have an anxiety disorder in which i take citalopram and budeprion daily. I also take diazepam when i have panic attacks. I used to have panic attacks several times a month but since i have been taking this medicine it has cut down a lot. Now they rarely come… except for that last few weeks. I have experienced a rise in panic attacks lately and am concerned. So please answer this question if you know the answer…. can excessive panic attacks be a sign of something worse. Or am i just giving myself more anxiety by thinking like this?

prety much i’m taking a debate class and i conveniently didnt know that i have stage fright i have like panic attacks and its really embarressing (sp)
please help!

I have 5 or 6 panic attacks a DAY MEDS DO NOT HELP anyone got any sugestions?

I can’t go to the gynocologist. Every time I try to I go into a horrible panic attack. I know she’s not going to hurt me, I know it needs to be done for health reasons…I just can’t do it. I start crying and freaking out and I can’t breathe and I just feel like I’m about to die. It’s horrible. I’m 21, almost 22, so I’m long past due for all sorts of tests. I’m still a virgin, so at least I’m STD free(thank you hatred of my body, you keep my disease free)..and the gyno knows that I was molested as a child and she’s said that she won’t do anything until I’m okay with it…but I don’t think I’ll ever be okay with it. And when it comes to the topic of sex, I either think feel like I should just sleep with someone I’ll never see again to get it over with or that I’ll never do it. I’m going to be a virgin forever because I’m so fucked up. I need help. But I can’t afford a psychiatrist. So yeah, how can I stop the panic attacks without medication…because my mom thinks they’re nonexistent.

I have effexor and xanax for chronic depression and panic attacks but it is not enough. Adding marijuana also works best; would I be a candidate for medicinal marijuana?

I have anxiety disorder which causes me to have panic attacks and I am trying to conceive.. So I was wondering if I had panic attacks while I am pregnant if it could hurt the baby?

I have been having really bad panic attacks lately and I don’t know if any of you have them but it feels as if I am going crazy and the panic attacks are horrible. I have visited my doctor and was prescribed xanax and I have took it but my prescription is now gone. Any help would be appreciated. This has been going on for about two weeks and when I think about how I have been feeling lately it makes me want to cry. What can I do to get rid of the panic attacks? Please help. It would be appreciated.

My original doctor passed away and i am seeing his replacement and he tells me how awful xanax is to your body. I have been on Xanax for over 4 years and i am worried about having panic attacks or serious withdrawal. Does Klonopin work almost the same? I know it is longer acting and hopefully it will work and i can eventually get off of all medication. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am curious if being a codependent person has anything to do with my panic attacks.

If it does, and if I get help with the codependency then will my panic go away?

I think there is a link here. Am I the first one to think this?
very good Mull it over, I am already on an SSRI and seeing a counselor. My next step now is Coda meetings. I was just curious if there was a link.

Hi, I want to know if doing more exercise can help prevent panic attacks from occurring? I heard doing exercise can help you feel better about yourself, so I was wondering if it will also help me with my panic attack episodes?

Catch 22 – I have panic disorder to the point of not being able to go a mile from the house. I’ve grown a resistance to my meds and they do not sedate me. I have an appointment this wednesday to have a new med program prescibed, but I can’t make it to the doctor to get it. What do I do? Getting there will just have me be seen, but there is nothing that can take care of immediate attacks that occur en route or at the doctor. Just a slip of paper, "try this" and good luck making it back home, freak. My anxiety is high, my temper is bad and I’d almost prefer being shot than making this appointment.

I do prefer answers from people that understand or have experienced panic disorder as most that have no idea just say "be a man and take it." Not helpful in this situation.

I have severe panic attacks. Does anyone have any solutions to this or know any tricks to help this problem.
I have had them for 3 years now. I am on Zoloft, 100 mg. It doesn’t seem to be helping.

I have a friend who suffers from panic attacks, they would rather not goto the doctor for some reason, but i have said to them i would ask on here for them if anyone knows if they can get anything over the counter to help relax or calm them down, as they have panic attacks quite regular……

I get frequent panic attacks nearly every night and I cant stop them, anyone know how to block them?

Thanks Alot

I’ve always had great anxiety, but lately I’ve been dealing with almost daily panic attacks. They’re very scary and have begun to prevent me from doing things. I’m going on a trip on Friday and am very worried about it.

Does anyone know any specific medication for panic attacks? I just wish I had something I could take when I’m having one that would help. I almost feel like that if I just knew I had something to take the panic attacks would become less likely. Thanks for the help.

I would like to hear some stories because I am having a difficult time dealing with my panic attacks and it feels like I I’m going to pass out or die sometimes. I feel out of breath and dizzy. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I am 25 and have gotten panic attacks since i was in middle school. I usually keep a stick of vicks vapor inhaler in my pocket because when I feel the panic come on, if I inhale a little vicks, I seem to calm down and breath a bit more regulated. Is this placebo or did I actually discover a lil handy tool to share with others. I can’t imagine it being good on the nose maybe to use often, but far and few between, it can’t hurt I dont think. Anyways….feedback welcome…thanks!

I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks whenever I have to give presentations or public speaking. I have been receiving information about the one move technique but everything I look at says you have to purchase. I really can’t afford to purchase anything, but I need to get over my anxiety because it is taking over.
