Panic Disorder Treatment – have you felt like this?
Posted by: | CommentsPanic Disorder Treatment can be found in many different places and if you have a few minutes I will show you how you can be rid of Panic Attacks and general Anxiety forever.
Before I show you I would like to tell you a short story of how Panic Attacks affected me and you will soon see the similarities in our situations.
I was about 30 years old and my first-born daughter was probably about 5 months old. We left England around that time to go live in the wonderful Knysna Forest in South Africa. We lived in a quant little cottage a few miles from town surrounded by beautiful trees and a dam. All the exotic birds you can imagine would visit our bottle brush tree in the mornings. It was a perfect start for a wonderful family that was ready to tackle life head on and succeed in making all our dreams come true.
For about a year or so I was experiencing a few of the minor symptoms of anxiety and didn’t feel it necessary to seek a Panic Disorder Treatment yet alone know I had a disorder. Butterflies in the stomach for no reason, shortness of breath and hot and cold sensations. For me they didn’t seem to appear at any specific time or situation. I shrugged these off and continued with my life as if nothing was wrong however, it did concern me but I was too proud to talk to anyone about this.

One perfect evening my wife and I were chatting in bed with the little one between us. A very light hearted chat with the odd giggle, playing with our new born baby then, SMACK!! I get some butterflies in my stomach. It moves on to serious stomach cramps. I start to get very cold and start shaking. I get up to go to the toilet as it feels like I have a case of diarrhoea and need to get there quickly. My legs crumble from under me and I struggle to stand up again as they feel as if they are made from jelly. My wife immediately gets this look of shock on her face as she has never seen this before. I make it to the toilet and sure as heck it’s diarrhoea. Whilst in the bathroom I continue to got from hot to cold and my muscles start to spasm. I finish what I need to do and try to make my way back to the bedroom on legs that feel frozen and like jelly the same time . Does any of this sound familiar?
I’m now shaking uncontrollably and find myself in the featal position clinging onto my wifes hand for dear life with the thoughts of death on the horizon. A strong feeling that I’m about to die. My wife is terrified. What can I do for you babe she says? I can hardly talk as my teeth are chattering away uncontrollably.
I try to follow my breath as I was once tought by my yoga teacher. It’s hard as I’m hyperventalating but my wife helps me through it. I’m exhausted. My breathing begins to normalize slowly but surely. I can’t talk. I’m exhausted. I fall into a peaceful sleep to arrise normally in the morning.
I need to find out what this is and I do. It’s a panic disorder and treatment is needed fast.
This first extreme case of a panic attack scared the life out of me and it would’ve continued to be debillatating if I didn’t seek treatment for this panic disorder. Yes, yours might not be as bad or in fact it might be worse. Mine did not occur at any particular time or event but for some people it does perhaps whilst driving in a car or on a plane or in a shopping mall or even whilst socializing. One thing is for sure, you need a panic disorder treatement.
I found this to be the most successful one and I urge you to go and read what people are saying about it. See the testimonials of these people.
I know you can be cured of anxiety and panic attacks. I was!

If i quit smoking will my asthma and panic attacks reduce or go away?
Posted by: | CommentsI get nervous in public and can hardly breath, and i panic. Now if i quit smoking and get an inhailer will this make a drastic improvement?
If your shortness of breath is due to a panic attack it probably is due to you hyperventillating and not asthma, so an inhaler may not help.
Smoking has various effects on the brain so quitting may or may not help Panic Attacks, but it would be the best thing you could do for your health in general.
See your primary care doctor who can tell if you have asthma or not and may be able to prescibe medication that can reduce or eliminate your panic attacks (like Zoloft).

Panic atack ic common and … scary. A panic attack is a sudden, intense fear or anxiety that may make you short of breath or dizzy or make your heart pound. You may feel out of control. Panic attacks can be scary and so bad that they get in the way of your daily activities. Treatment can help most people have fewer symptoms or even stop the attacks. The doctors aren’t sure what causes Panic Attacks and anxiety. But the body has a natural response when you are stressed or in danger. It speeds up your heart, makes you breathe faster, and gives you a burst of energy.
Symptoms of a panic attack may include:
A feeling of intense fear, terror, or anxiety.
Trouble breathing or very fast breathing.
Chest pain or tightness.
A heartbeat that races or is not regular.
Sweating.
Nausea or an upset stomach.
Dizziness and shaking.
Numbness or tingling..

What should I do about my anxiety disorder, depression, treatment? I really need help!!?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been through very difficult things in life because of these problems. I’ve had it very bad for a about 2-3 years, especially anxiety in the past 2 years. I’ve tried to be patient with everything, and I’ve been in therapy for a long time. I’ve taken prozac, zoloft at max doses, 3 other antipsychotics (zyprexa, risperdal, seroquel), klonopin, ativan ,and a very high dose of an antipsychotic (flaunoxal 20 mg), with little sucess. I’m now on zoloft at 175mg, with seroquel at 150mg, and ativan at 0.5mg (when needed), and I’ve been taking these meds for a long time now with no real benefit. My psychyatrist says she cant help me anyone, and even crisislines and everything , because I say I want want my anxiety/ depression and other mental health problems to be addressed as well as suicidal thoughts, and no one can help me. Thats even when I’m suicidal. I know that’s not the answer, and I very likely wont do it, but no one can help me. I’ve even taken mixtures of my old meds with tylenol and a other stuff all at once with little effect. I even think about self medicating with drugs like heroin and stuff alot, but its not something i want to do. What should i do? I wouldnt want to go to a hospital unless someone really addresses the problems I have. last time I went, I came out much worse, and was denied I had OCD anxiety, depression, so thats why. But if Id go to a hospital, it would be a different one. The first one I went to was far away from my home like 30- 40mins. This one is 5 mins or less by car. What do you think? I’ve been pushed to the edge so many times, and I dotn know what to do anymore. I’ve suffered a lot of trauma from anxiety and everything else. Its a lot to explain, but lets just say, its pretty bad. What should i do?
Unfortunately, medications are a hit-or-miss proposition. It can literally take years to find a medication that addresses your problems. If your psychiatrist has "given up" on you, you need to find another one. Explain to the doctor, in detail, as you have done here, what medications you have taken and for how long. I know that it is very upsetting to try medication after medication and have them not help, sometimes even making symptoms worse. I hope that you can find a psychiatrist that really knows his medications and can get you on the right track soon.
Best of luck.
Explanation on Anxiety Attacks and How to stop them?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been searching out what exactly has been going on with me, and I’ve been told I may be having "anxiety" attacks. Can someone explain to me the exact symptoms and basically the mechanics I guess you could say of an anxiety attack. What are they and how can I stop them when they come on?
Anxiety disorders are divided into generalized anxiety, phobic, and panic disorders; each with its own characteristics and symptoms. You can experience anything from simple nervousness to bouts of terror.
Anxiety as a problem can become pretty nasty. Not surprisingly, it seems to happen more under high stress, but it can suddenly show up form as single stressful event. People not only feel nervous but they can get headaches, muscle spasms, the sweats, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure. A lot of people who have increased anxiety also develop clinical depression.
Somebody already mentioned increased adrenaline, but over the last 15-20 years there’s been a lot of study about changes in the brain associated with anxiety and other emotional disorders. For example, there are chemicals in the rain called neurotransmitters that either speed up or slow down brain activity. An imbalance in the relative levels of these chemicals can either cause a person to feel overly stimulated or unable to get themselves out of bed. A decrease in one of these, a chemical called GABA has been associated with chronic anxiety.
Over time, they are finding actual brain changes as a result of chronic imbalances such as an increase or decrease in gray matter, so it’s probably a good idea to get these disorders under control earlier rather than later.
Severe Panic disorder hopeless?
Posted by: | CommentsCognitive behavioral therapy is shit. The only thing that work for severe panic disorder is benzodiazepen es. SSRIS( antidepressants such as prozac) are useless in long term treatment for patients with this severity. Even antipsychotic’s are no where close to effective. Would you have a patient in endless amounts of panic and disabling symptoms with long term tolerance and dependence…which helps the patient ultimately….or have the patient self destruct and react irrationally with alcohol or illegal narcotics?
Anxiety is often due to thyroid disease … Have you had your thyroid tested? You need testing for ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but would not matter if antibodies are present. Indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis…main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (…OR Graves Disease – HypERthyroid).
WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.

Hey, im a 6th grader with panic-like attack symptoms. I have cramps a lot, and when my family isn’t near , i usually cant stand it. I have a lot of trouble with sleep overs. Now, my parents are going away for 4 days, and i can stay with someone if i can handle it, and i want to, but i dont know if can. What do i do, cause i really dont want to go?
Tell your parents what you’re feeling. Don’t be afraid to talk to them- they love you! They wouldn’t leave you in a bad situation if they knew what was going on.

What is the best medicine for panic attacks?
Posted by: | CommentsMy mom suffers from panic attacks. What is a good medication for her to take to get over them or get through them better? Thank you in advance!
You have to discuss this with her doctor. Very low doses of Tofranil, an old antidepressant, work as a selective central alpha-adrenergic blocker, and often turn Panic Attacks off 10 mg 2-3 times a day is all that is needed usually. Now this is a Prescription med, and is not a street drug, so you have to get her to discuss this with her physician. It is not a well known treatment. Most physicians use benzodiazipines. They help , but are sedating and may cause dependence.
Just hate and fear the symptoms.
Many times Panic Attacks and agoraphobia go hand in hand. If you could get rid of one of them – the other one will probably fade away too. There are many ways to treat panic attacks, but the best way is cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and panic attacks. This is an article about it, hope it helps:
