Natural treatment for anxiety symptoms and panic attacks.
what are some of the reasons for having these attacks.? i’ve been having them for years, and don’t know how to stop them. i can’t take any meds, as the doctors found out they interfere with my atenolol.
i believe i have social anxiety disorder or another similar anxiety disorder and i told my parents. i have a doctors appointment and i was wondering what they usually do.
I have always suffered from horrible anxiety attacks, and nothing seems to help. I have been given different types of medicines for it but they seem to only temporarily fix the problem. Recently, one of my neighbors informed me that he has the same problem and his doctor suggested having a pet as therapy for it. I have heard of this before. Is this true? Can a pet really be good for these types of things? And if so, do doctors really "prescribe" pets?
Hi, my sister has panic/anxiety attacks on a regular basis. I am currently in China and will be here for awhile. I usually went with her to see doctors, because I went through this years ago and it empowers her to see that if I can do it, then she can do it. Problem is she has been takng alprazolam (Xanax) for several years and its not too effective anymore. Are there any new, cutting edge meds that she could switch too? I saw something about klonopin on another post, stating that it takes immediate effect? Is there anyone that has any experience with this or any other new meds. Many doctors do not know much about new meds, I need to hear from personal experience. She is already doing altinative relaxation techniques:Yoga, deep breathing, etc. So no need for advice about that, just about something more updated that she can talk to her doctor about. Wish I could be there for her, but maybe its good for her to face it on her own. Thanks for any info.
I need to get a job and get on with my life, but how can I do that when simply driving to the store sends me on a hellish fit of fear and panic? I cant even get to the doctors easily….
If you were once a sufferer and found treatment, your opinion would be most valid.
I have fibromyalsia-any one out there hear of that?Basically, I suffer with pain every day all day. I make a daily effort to control my pain with a healthy attitude, exercise and balanced diet. I do not use any medication as it is simply my preference not to… but I was wondering if there are any practices out there that have lead towards a healing or at least to keep the pain at bay. I am interested in natural, safe methods.
If at all possible, I would be interrested in speaking with doctors/practitioners one-on-one to share with them what works for me and to discover what has worked for their clients.
Everyone I’ve encountered so far use prescription meds, say they are in too much pain to work out or walk, and more often than not are on disability.
My way isn’t easy, but it works. However I am interested to know if there is anything else I should be doing: different therapies,diet, light-therapy, etc.-that might be successful. Again, natural remedies only
Like 10 minutes ago I felt like killing myself but now I feel great!
The doctors tried putting me on anti-depressants, why didn’t they just recommend natural ways I can feel better?
It’s sort of a self diagnoses. I’ve been asking around for years and doing research off and on and I came across the symptoms for Social Anxiety Disorder. I seem to have about 90% of the symptoms in such a severe way that it effects my daily life dramatically. I’m unable to see psychologists or doctors due to the cost, and I don’t have any support from family. I’ve been reading about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but how do I know that’s right for me? As long as I know a certain treatment will work for me, I would be willing to do everything in my power to try and get it. I’m afraid if I wait too long, my depression as a result from my social anxiety will get even worse and impair any chances I have of recovering. Thanks everyone!
I have been on xanax and klonipin(sp?) and it did not help my sleep panic attacks that much. I started using meditation techniques which TREMENDOUSLY helped them, but I still have panic attacks while I sleep.
I would wake up and my wife would have to comfort me. All the doctors I went to keep prescribing the same things. Does anyone have a website or any idea on how I can stop sleep panic attacks naturally?
According to their website: "Physical therapy works closely with HBII’s to assist in all injury assessments". I used to dance and would love to work with dancers or at least get some observation hours with the physical therapists who work with the dancers. The website is vague about which doctors or hospitals work with them, only stating that doctors are involved with the dancers injuries and training.
I have had to live excessive stress for the past 4 years. My health has been changed because of the stress. I have high blood pressure and anxiety. Doctors all say I need to relax…
How can one do that
I’ve been wanting to join the marines for quite a while now but keep hesitating because of my social anxiety disorder which I am taking xanax for. I am also an alcoholic (mentally not physically addicted) so I know I would have to cut back drastically or just quit. Also, assuming they would let me join, do they have their own doctors that manage your prescriptions or do you still have to see your own doctor?
I realize that that that goes against what the disorder is about
but it’s about light exposure.
And I stay inside a large amount of time regardless of season.
I’ve been asked the generic SAD screening questions a ton of times by diffrent doctors but none have ever considered that maybe that’s what I have and the reason it doesn’t vary from season to season is because my behavior doesnt vary much.
yes I know you shouldnt self diagnoss blah blah blah I’m meeting with my psych tommorow I just wanted to know if anyone had heard of anything like this or not before I bring it up in my appointment tommorow.
If you’re going to just tell me to ask my doctor don’t waste your time typing because Ill do it regardless. Itll just be easier to ask if I have some more level of certainty that I’m not horribly deluded about this thought.
My friend is having high blood pressure, and the doctors say anxiety is the cause. But he doesn’t seem to be an anxious person, so it doesn’t make sense. He’s chill and laid back. He usually seems to be the exact opposite of a worrier. Can a person have an anxiety problem without realizing himself? And without anyone close to him being aware?
I have a fam. member who has been struggling with a serious case of anxiety. Has seen three or four different doctors and none of them seem to do anything about it. I have seen for myself that it is affecting fam and friends and marriage what should I suggest. I know that meds aren’t always safe but they need something to get them through this. They have tried herbal remedies to no avail. Why is this not taken morre serious?
