Anybody have alternative treatment or medicine for panic/anxiety attacks?
ByI have anxiety and panic attacks my doctor prescribed alprazolam which works but I only use that for emergencies, when im having a severe attack as it is a narcotic and the doctor told me its adictive. I read somewhere that crossing my arms helps because its a defensive stance and it warms your chest up. I get nervous over everything like a twitch in my face or pain in my arm which i know its cause i sleep on it. Im not scared to admit i get panic attacks or that im having one though so im not withdrawn from social activities. I am overweight but ive started walking a lot ive lost some weight too. I also get scared if i eat fatty foods. Im 18 if it helps. i just want options

first of all there are exercises you can do. If your Dr is an MD ask for a Psychologist evaluation. Might help.
Have your hormones checked. this is what a Friend had and her hormones out of wack was the problem. Weight and lack of exercise can be part of it. So many things to check there is no way to list them all. But being self confident and in control comes from a healthy body. follow up with suggested info and try this to loose weight.
After spine surgery I gained 60 plus lbs. From family being nice and giving me all the things I wanted. From the surgery I could not exercise and walking was a chore. So with spine damage and no chance at exercise I remembered what my high school coach told me.
“It calorie in and calorie burned” The way to burn weight is burn more than you take in. If you do this you will loose weight. So I counted calories and I nearly starved.
I started reading the diets out there. Atkins and south beach. Tried Atkins and lost weight. After loosing several lbs I shared the diet with friends and it worked for them as well. One fellow went from size 48 to 38 pants, stopped taking BP medication and stopped taking diabetes medication. Ate eggs and bacon for breakfast and life was good. I just had trouble holding to the diet. In time I gained the weight back. After the yo-yo dieting and radical eating soups and such, I started to do the common sense diet.
I found something that works and I plan to write a book on it. In the mean time I am will to share this much. The more your bowels work the better you will feel. Turn your diet into a high fiber diet and the more you eat the more you will loose. I find that “Total” raisin Bran will speed your digestion. So eat two or three bowel per day. Salads of fresh veggies will help as well. Yes, use dressing of some type and you need fats. Whole milk, (have documentation to prove it). And Metamucil in the mornin and after noon will help clean your bowels and keep you going. In time you will be able ot eat most any thing you like (as long as it makes you poop) and eat all you like. Things like steak with fat and good cuts of meat. Stay away from burgers and processed foods. Chicken meat and good cuts of pork are OK.
If you snack at night eat the Raisin bran and it will move you in the morning. No white bread, high grain breads are OK.
You need to eat 5 or 6 times per day. From early morning on. Eat small meals and in the am add fresh fruits.
I promise you will loose weight and in time start feeling much better. I have given this info to many people and all have lost weight,. None have had medical problems from it.
I wish you the best.

MDMA helped me overcome anxiety, the experience enlightened me., and made me feel alot more comfortable with myself and the world surrounding me.
its not somthing you should take regally as a person with anxiety, as i think it would cause adverse affects.
but a couple of times a year does me the world of good.

I’ve heard that saffron works. You may want to research it. It is suppose to work as well as a low dose of Paxil- which treats panic/anxiety. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with alprazolam.

Alprazolam is not a narcotic, but it can be addictive. You could try taking 750mg of GABA 2-3 pills at bedtime and only buy the GNC brand. You can also drink some chamomile tea during the day for a relaxing effect.

Go to the Mercola.com website and check out EFT which is a form of accupressure. There are free instructions. Try it, you have absolutely nothing to lose.
You can also get professional treatment from a certified Homeopath. Homeopathy is safe, gentle, effective and has no side effects.
