    Do pills really cure Panic Attacks and Anxiety?

    so? whats your experiences? I've avoided taking anything, with the fear of getting hooked on them for the rest of my life (or so i've heard)

    but i've just about had it now, i cant take it anymore, i get pukey feeling now when in airplanes, and now even in cars, i cant go up high (motion sickness / fear of heights), dont go on roller coasters anymore etc etc

    fucking bullshit, cuz i love to travel, (need to fly), etc etc this is all VERY new to me, i used to love flying, driving fast, roller coasters, etc etc

    so whats your experiences with what pills?

    If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.

            I think Ativan is what you are looking for. It's for people who are anxious and stuff. Makes you way more mellow. Check it out with your doc.


            A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

            So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

              wouldn't recommend these sorts of medications to anyone


              Edit - they would be ok for occasions like flying as long as you weren't flying everyday.

                    Stuff works wonderfully, I replaced paxil with this and it was the best thing I ever did.

                        mt doctor put me on Paxil..told me to quit smoking weed. I lied and told her I had. I weaned myself off of them after a few months when I realized she never intended to help me with any of my health issues and was a Dr that made her money off of pill poppers .

                        It became a joke when I would go in for a checkup as to what prescriptions she would give me. I currently have 3 tramadol scripts left, 2 nambutone, 4 trazadone (heavy sleeping pill or anti-psychotic)..anyone need any pills

                        I need a new Dr.

                              Eat banana in the morning ( banana tend to make you feel happy) and exercise more. Avoid caffeine. Xanax (a.k.a upjohn pill) does make you relax. but not longterm solution to your anxiety problem. Take cold shower more often.

                                  Xanax knocks panic attacks right out. Highly addictive though.

                                      Weed is actually proven to be the cause of ALOT of people's panic/anxiety related issues. not everyone, but alot yes. If you're not sound of mind in the first place, marijuana like any other abusable substance can drastically heighten the effect any issues like this can have on your being while its in an altered mental state.

                                      As for the prescription drugs, there is alot of evidence pointing towards the idea that dependence on prescription pills as a treatment also can take a negative turn in treating anxiety and depression. Instigating or deepening periods of depression. Some depression medications have come under some pretty heavvy scrutiny after their users have fallen into deeper depressive periods and even commited suicide after beginning the prescriptions.

                                      All in all, I'd say don't rely on a pill to solve your problems.

                                      PS. Valuum is awesome...

                                        just start making your doses smaller, smoke weed if you can. It seems to have the same effect.

                                        I hear its a bitch to get off of, I believe that is why I just didnt care for it.

                                        Try to replace it with excercise or other things that make you happy...good luck

                                          The problem with mary jane is there are no control over quality and what else is in it for added kick.

                                                Erm, also head to a health food store and pick up a bottle of 5-HTP. It's a natural precursor for serotonin production. You won't get hooked on it, and it will help keep your chemically induced chances of remaining in good spirits up.

                                                  word. i used to have pretty bad anxiety, but i smoke herb now medicinally (ok, for recreation too and that helps immensely. also, try ativan for acute anxiety (like before you fly, or before a stressful situation - like getting together with the in-laws.

                                                  honestly, i see herb as a huge improvement from something like paxil or lithium everyday...those make you feel like a zombie...you don't have anymore anxiety, but you sure as hell don't feel anything else either. i used to be on a whole slew of sleeping pills, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics (haha, i'm not crazy, but i had severe insomnia and RLS - a sleep disorder, and not sleeping fucks with your brain). but now i just smoke herb (just a few times a week will do the job if you don't currently smoke) anyway, that's my good luck!

                                                          Xanax can lead to rebound panic attacks. It is not long acting and can do more harm then good when it comes to controlling attacks.

                                                          Ask your doctor about klonopin. It provides steady relief. Combine that with behavioral rehab and it works well.

Xanax makes any flight enjoyable. 10 hour trips feel like they are 30 minutes. As long as you don't start taking that crap all the time you will be fine.

I've never had anxiety but have been on some pretty heavy pain killers for long periods of time and on occasion I would be put on anti anxiety meds to ease the withdrawal symtoms. I found that they tended to fuck me up more than the pain meds would. I had days that are completely blank and the only way that I know what happened during that time is from what my friends that were around had told me.

                                                                              I would try smoking some weed if anything at first, and if it doesn't do the trick at least you wont have the nasty withdrawals that you would get from the prescription drugs. Worst case senerio you get mungmouth and the munchies. The only thing is that from what I've heard and observed is that mostly only chronic pot smokers will reap the anti anxiety/etc. benifits of smoking pot and in non chronic users may actually have the reverse effect.

You really can't take it everyday because you develop a tolerence really quickly and it stops working. Valium doesn't even do anything for me. I'm supposed to take 1mg a 1-2x a day and I was taking 4mg at once at one point. So if you're not looking to take it everyday I say go for it, they def helped me when I didn't need them 24/7.

They ruled out any heart issues out and told me it was a panic attack. i felt like shit, my heart palpitated all the time..i was so fucken anxious...so i started eating healthy, started getting normal sleep, dealt with my PROBLEMS which i had many.. my business was going bankrupt, i was being sued and other shit was going on..i thought the fucken world was going to end. deal with whatever is bothering you thats the key and of course eat healthy. i feel your pain!..

                                                                                                    ....but now just normal everyday things can trigger them, like going to a grocery store, eating in a restaruant, riding in a taxi!!! so it's getting worse and worse

                                                                                                    posting this on GFY is obviously desparation
