Do you get panic attacks?

Question

I have pretty bad anxiety attacks every once in a while. They suuuuuck. I was proscribed something similar to valume I don't remember what it's called, starts with an L. It's also used to calm shakes. Just curious to see who else suffers from them. Any suggestions on how to calm down without medicine . I work graveyard shifts so I can't take medicine right now without getting ready dizzy. Currently trying breathing exercises.

Answer

Lorazepam? I hope I'm thinking of the right thing. My mom used to take it for her panic attacks

Answer

Was it called Lexapro? That's what I used to take, but it didn't do anything for me. I'm on Zoloft now and it works wonders... I didn't want meds either but I'm actually very happy I tried it. I think you should take it into consideration. The breathing exercises work pretty well for me... you could try positive self talk and I was always told to stay in the moment. Focus on what's happening right now. Maybe try to find ways to trick your mind or distract yourself.

Answer

I've had panic attacks since I was verrrry young, like I was probably about 8 or so when I had my first (I had no idea what was going on at the time). Just the past few years, I have finally begun to improve. Fish oil has worked wonders for me. Now, my attacks are few, and it's a big relief.
