    @AIRKPL Thats still not a permanent solution and ppl that work can’t walk around dosed up.

  • AIRKPL said:

    @BJZnRPZ if you abuse them(like any other drug)… then yes. Taken only when needed (or prescribed) then the chances of withdrawls are minimal. If benzos were so dangerous the FDA wouldn’t allow them to be prescribed.

  • BJZnRPZ said:

    @UALDXer thats addicting and just masks the problem, benzo’s are horrible to come off of and cause panic ten fold on withdrawals.

    I usually try to scare my friend when he gets a panic attack. It’s funny to see them run off.

    There is a link between hyperventilation and anxiety attacks, it is useful to deal with breathing pattern’s this is an established thing.

    Thanks so much for posting these techniques. I will definitely work on them. I was really concerned because when anything stresses me I have a stinging or burning sensation across my scalp and tightening of my lower neck and across my shoulders. I’m hoping this will go away soon. Thanks again!!

    Try a chinese doctor. Your liver could be hot, releasing hot wind upwards to the thyroid, and therefore releasing a lot of adrenaline and cortisol. This happens to me, and all lab tests are ok, but 2 different chinese doctors told me the same thing. One 13 years ago, the other 4 years ago. I have tried to cut xanax, but even when herbs work out good, is not enough.Check yourself with an ayurvedic or chinese.You don’t have anything to lose

    Try a chinese doctor, acupuncture and herbs. They know more than traditional doctors. You can have somo organ energy that is not working good, but lab tests will show everything is ok. Chienese doctors measure the pulses of all organs, not just the heart. Try someplace in chinatown.hope you luck!!!!

    best beginning vid.

  • DrBPhD said:

    There’s medication for it that sometimes shows good results. If one drug does not work you may try out another one, under good medical supervision and guidence that is! Consult a doctor about it. Maybe try to use less alcohol (also under good medical supervision since you actually use it as a form of medication!). Alcohol can be a trigger for both panic attacks and anxiety as well as depression. It gives a sense of relief for the moment but it may have a rebound afterwards.

    I tried everything from drugs,psihoterapeuts. I suffer from panic attacks, anxiety almost 10 ten years. My life sucks, i drink everyday 100-200ml of whisky to fell better… i can’t go to college because im afraid that i will die … the only thing left to my is to wait for the day i will die.

  • thornhailweb said:

    It really does! Totally agree. It also works much better if you breathe through your nose to regulate air flow. Like you said, it takes practice, like doing fire drills before the actual fire. Also, I’d like to add, fearing future attacks perpetuates the panic even more. Practicing deep breathing, exercise, healthy eating, cognitive therapy, can also help alleviate panic disorder.

  • thornhailweb said:

    Hi there! Have you tried the breathing excercises when you are not having an attack? My therapist recommended that I practice often, sort of like practicing fire drills before a real fire. ;) Also, it is important to breathe through your nose, not your mouth. Breating through the mouth can encourage hyperventalation, which can make things worse. Breathe slowly, to the count of four, and try to increase to five, six, and so forth. Don’t give up. Try and I hope this helps.
