I have had severe panic attacks for about 10 years. I have tried every medication and therapy, read all the books. The only medicine that helps at all is xanax. I take it daily and could not function without it. I know it’s a mental thing but I can’t control them and I still have them especially in restauraunts, crowded places, standing in line somewhere, traffic. I am so tired of living with it. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you do? Are there other treatments? Hypnosis? I am so tired of it controlling my life! Thanks!
I know what you mean Cherry, I always feel safe with my cell phone. Ill take it out and look at it and I guess I know I can call someone if I have to. It’s crazy tho. The worst about having the attacks is that I know other people are looking at me and wondering what the hell is wrong with me.

If you’ve tried every medication, therapy and books and nothing has worked, do you wonder if it might not be a mental problem but a physical one?
Anxiety/panic is a symptom of a problem. It could be something as simple yet serious as anemia (racing heart, dizziness, blurry vision, weakness are symptoms) or as common as hypoglycemia (symptoms are anxiety, panic, shaking, fear/phobias, nervousness, irrational behavior, emotional instability).
It’s too simple to believe but it’s true: you are what you eat. If yous skip meals, diet, don’t eat enough, eat a high carb, high sugar diet, drink a lot of soda or drinks with artificial sweeteners, and don’t eat enough protein, you’re going to be mentally out of balance. Add hormonal changes and possibly years of not eating right and your brain is a mess.

The brain chemicals are made from amino acids, which come from protein. Most people, especially women, eat the typical "pasta/salad/sugar" diet. How about you?

Here are a couple of ideas if you want to try to get to the cause of your panic:

Once you start healing your body physically, you can also work on self-hypnosis. I have hypnosis MP3’s on claustrophobia and anxiety if you like. Drop me a line. Take care.

I have been prescribed a short term dose of diazepam to treat panic attacks. The panic attacks have come on very suddenly during the last 4/5 weeks, but have been very severe. I have had no history of them before, and the doctor reassured me that the diazepam should quickly help me regain control, and then I can look at the underlying issues.

However, I have taken it a few times over the last few days and noticed no improvement. I feel very drowsy for about 30 minutes afterwards, but that’s about it – and then my heart starts to beat quickly again and the anxiety returns.

Has diazepam been successful for you?

PS Please do not reply with alternative treatments. I have registered on a CBT course to start in the New Year and am fully aware that medication is not the answer long term. However, the problem has been so extreme (especially at work) that I need a quick fix solution now that will enable me to get through the next few weeks. Thanks.


When I had the same problem, I used Ativan (0.5 mg) to relieve the panic attack in the moment. At the same time, I was starting Celexa, which fixed the underlying brain chemisty issues. After 2-3 weeks on celexa, I never needed the Ativan again (it acts MUCH more quickly than Valium – diazepam – and gets out of your system faster, too). I stayed on Celexa for about 2 years, then slowly tapered off, and I do not have anxiety attacks anymore.

I am having bouts of really bad muscle and joint pain and weakness down my arms and legs, one minute its really bad, the next I am ok…I sometimes get bouts that last for days at a time. I mean really bad joint pain and aches. I know that depression can cause aches and pains but I dont have depression that I know of, just really bad anxiety problems….I dont feel anxious when I get the pains but the pains actually make me obsess and I start getting bad anxiety due to the aches and pains…I don’t know what to do, I am sick and tired of the constant worry and constantly worrying makes me tired alot, anyone relate at all?? Can generalized anxiety actually cause all of this muscle and joint pain??? HELP!!!! thanks…

Allow stress and anxiety to build up and it can cause real aches – especially muscular. A feeling of weakness is also a possibility.

It is important that stress is managed instead of allowing it to build up.

You need to arm yourself with information in order to manage your anxiety well. Look at some of the free articles at allstressrelief.com

You could also look at the dvds and downloads listed on this resourceful site.

I have panic disorder brought on by PTSD. One day I was just "different" and then I have a Panic Attack.

I am now on medication and have finished thearpy. I still get the start of attacks but now where near how it was in the beginning. I am pretty good at controlling.

My biggest and WORST symptom is the "unreal" feeling. As though I am watching my life from outside. It is SO SCARY. Dr has told me that it is just a part of it.

My husband and I just bought a new house, I lost my best friend and my Mom is getting married in a week. I have had a lot going on and I feel as though I have been handeling things OK but tonight I sort of freaked and felt "out of it" and as if I was going to go crazy.

I am stuck awake and can’t sleep. I don’t want to eat and dont’ know what to do. It is just hard to feel alone in this.

I am just wondering what other people feel. Do you actually feel stressed when it happens or does it just come on like it does with me?

Blessings.

I have ha panic attacks so bad that my whole body would go numb,it is frightening I would call my sister or brother and they could usally talk me out of itm,I have noticed that if you will let it happen and not fight it it doesnt last as long,but I eventually started taking paxil cause they were wearing me down,and Ive been on paxil for 6 years and have not had an attack since Ive been on paxil.

I have lived between the USA and the UK all of my life. When last I left the US, the term "anxiety attack" and "panic attack" were used only on occasion. As I work in health care, I think can say that I recall this. I returned to the US in 2007. Since then, many people I know (almost all women), and I, have been diagnosed with anxiety attacks.
I had been experiencing strange tingling feelings in my legs and one arm. One night I woke up out of a dead sleep with serious pain and cramping down one arm and I could hardly walk. I called the ambulance. After a few tests I was told that I had an anxiety attack in my sleep. This was weird. I’d never had this happen in my life. I didn’t have a family doctor as I’d never been sick. I finally got a doctor because my symptoms came and went, all of the time, and my left arm wouldn’t stop shaking. My new doctor confirmed the panic/anxiety attacks and gave me Prozac and Ativan. A year later it got so bad that I knew it wasn’t in my head. My inflammation markers were always high. Finally a lovely PA at the hospital figured out that I have M.S. which was confirmed.
6 women I know have been given the same diagnosis. Anxiety attacks. One of the lady’s I believe definitely has them. I believe this because she is a very stressed out person with a history of depression. She is high strung and her symptoms are relieved by anti anxiety medication. However another friend was told that she was having anxiety attacks because she has palpitations and moderately painful squeezing sensations about the neck and chest. Would they say that if she was a man? She had a 2 minute ECG and then was told that it was just anxiety. This friend is extremely calm and laid back without any financial or family worries. She does, however, have high cholesterol and a big cardiac history on both sides of her family including an aunt and an uncle who died after cardiac events before the age of 45. Another lady I know was told that she was having anxiety attacks when she started experiencing dizziness, nausea and weakness. It turned out that she was pregnant. She’d had her tubes tied but it had failed. She was overjoyed though. Now she’s walking her adorable little anxiety attack around in a red buggy. Today another lady I know was told that her random runs (bouts of rapid heart beats) were anxiety attacks.
The area of continued study that I am currently pursuing requires me to have ride alongs on ambulances and do shifts in hospital ER’s. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people practicing medicine (both men and women) refer to women patients as "just freaking out" or the like. A particular experience that comes to mind was a teenage girl who was gurgling and foaming at the mouth with brief periods of not breathing. her eyes were rolled up and she did not look well. However, I was told several times that she was faking it. She was "a teenage girl just being dramatic". I found this hard to believe when she failed to respond to pain. I wondered if she could be having a kind of seizure. Later it turned out that she was seizing (I’m not great at diagnostics or anything, it’s what they’d thought she was faking).
So, What I asked then is what I’m asking now? Is this an American trend? Is ot just a trend where I am living? Or am I wrong and is this something real? I’ve spoken extensively about it to friends and people I worked with in health care in the UK and it hasn’t taken hold there, yet. I mean, it could be like scoliosis in the 70’s and asthma in the 80’s, the A.D.D now (EVERYONE had it until it went out of style leaving only the real sufferers to their needed treatments. I remember that you weren’t cool if you didn’t have an inhaler in elementary school. We made ourselves giddy overusing them). Frighteningly, it’s even more like "female hysteria" from the 1800’s. If they start suggesting hysterectomy’s as a cure, I’ll have my answer.
The friend I mentioned earlier, the one that had a baby, said to me the other day,"Everyone is panicking now. Hardly anyone had anxiety before 2003".
The question is: why are so many women (here, in any case) being told that their physical problems are due to a sudden anxiety disorder? Is it that people are under recession stress and women just internalize it more than men? Is it fashionable sexism mirroring the "female hysteria" of days gone by? Is there something bad in the water? Is there a virus causing symptoms of anxiety attacks? Is the role of women in society at a changing point that many women cannot withstand?
Still, I was brought up by a widowed female professor who raised my siblings and I independently (without any palpitations) only to mimic the same life myself. When I went to the hospital I was told "I know, it’s hard raising kids alone and struggling. Problems with kids, problems with the landlord etc". Obviously it’s not easy! However, I was blessed with ho
honor roll (no I don’t sport the bumper sticker) very reasonably well behaved, cool, lovely children that do their chores. I own my own house, work my bottom off and am pretty content. It was multiple Sclerosis, not my children. My nerves not my mind. So, In my case, anyhow, it was not true.
These days I see billboards with people saying – "Do I have Lupus?"- when I’m driving around. I know a lady that actually has it. It’s a constant battle for her. I wonder, though, is this going to be the new trendy disease? Will my daughter someday be told that she has Lupus when she’s sick, rather than anxiety attacks?

Anyone who experiences anxiety,should have a complete medical workup to rule out any underlying physical disease. With that said, cardiac disease/illness and anxiety go hand in hand. I never had an anxiety attack until I was diagnosed with costrochrondritis ( chest rib inflammation).
All women who present to ER with "female hysteria" should have an EKG, blood work, etc.If all normal,and she responds positively to minor tranquilizer, she should still follow up with her primary care physician. Same for men.
I just saw one of my clients last week-middle aged man, who exhibited signs/symptoms of heart attack. After a thorough assessment, I diagnosed him with anxiety, due to Haiti.
Bottom line-medical conditions should be ruled out before final anxiety diagnosis.

I’m looking for people who have gone through these. I just wanted to know if any of these treatments helped relieve fears, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, or depression.

I am on meds but still having a hard time. I can’t enjoy any aspect of life right now because of my anxiety. So if any one has experience with these treatments, please let me know!

(Also, how expensive can it get without insurance?)

Hypnosis and the other two marketing names for hypnosis can all be used successfully. The effectiveness depends on the skill of the hypnotist.
