how do you deal with this situation, and why does it happen, it is extremely upsetting
Panic attacks comes as a result of fear, anxiety is a combination of fear and imagination of something gonna happen that you becomes scared of. I have dealt with it in my family, fought it had to do all I can do to help her out of it which was not simple task. Medication sometimes don’t work and the only thing that seemed to work was physical therapy. Most of the medication prescribed, have even bigger side effect including being suicidal and confused associated with depression. Perhaps is you learn about cognitive therapy it will help you out to understand the condition of these psychological disorders. Just on your computer type psychology on the search the web box and navigate through it to panic attacks, mania phobia and etc. Remember on thing though, patients suffering from this type of disorder do not show the same symptom even though they may be suffering the same thing
ok im 14weeks pregnant and im just wondering are panic attacks really bad for my unborn child?? since finding out i was pregnant i havnt got any(thank god!) but yesterday i could feel one coming on and i managed to talk myself out of it. iv been having them for the past 5years i know its mainly because im an anxious nervous person. but i can now talk myself out of having them most of the time. but there are times when i just cant and they are so bad and last for hours with me shaking or screaming on the floor and im worried that if it does happen il hurt my baby. any advice?? thanks
I started having panic attacks almost 10 years ago. The Doc’s gave me different meds to try to "fix" this problem. They sent me to a shrink and a counselor. They put me on Effexor- the worst thing I’ve ever allowed to be done to me. (please read what other people are saying about this SSRI via the link below). They were all just band-aids for the problem. I will never take another SSRI as long as I live!! I spent hundreds of dollars on the Lucinda Basset tapes for panic attacks- did nothing for me- did tons of research and finally met a doctor who had a brain!!! She gave me a saliva test for adrenal fatigue. Turns out panic attacks are caused by certain deficiencies in the body such as low Epinephrine, high Cortisol, Doapamine, Serotonin. Tell your doctor to order this test for you. It is the only real way to find out what’s actually wrong so that they can fix it. I swear I think doctors must be taking kick backs from the drug companies so they just keep us medicated instead of trying to fix the real problem and help us.
Test info:
"Neuro Adrenal 1 Profile" test from Neuro Science, Inc. 373 280th street, Osceola, WI 54020 Phone: 1-888-342-7272 www.neuroadrenalinc.com
The test consists of 3 small tubes for saliva collection and opne small vial for urine. You take the test from home and then mail back to the lab with the pre-paid postage. They send the results to your doctor, who then should give you a copy. If you are deficient in any of these areas, there are vitamins, minerals you can take to help your body normalize itself. Good luck!! DON’T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!! And help spread the word.
I suffer from Generalized anxiety disroder (GAD) I have panic attacks too. I seem to be sluggish all day until I take a nap when I have the panic attacks. I always have them in my sleep. I nap because I ahve 3 small children under 5. THen I feel better. What should I do? is this normal?
I am also depressed. I am taking 10mg of prozac every other day. I have a doctor i see about this. this is just something i noticed today.
i had a sitter yesterday and I felt like a person. I didnt obesses over things I tend to. I have come a long way I think I’ve even recovered from PTSD. I just hope I can make a breakthrough on this. as it is right now, I am killing myself with fear, panic and anxiety and the associated thoughts that go with them.
Ask the doctor to prescribe clonazepam.

I am 24, and have severe separation anixety when apart from my husband. I have also had panic attacks, since I was a toddler. My husband, in the past has suffered from depression, and went through a time where he would go missing for 24 hours or a couple of days without contacting me. This seemed to trigger this period major anxiety. He has had therapy and is well over his problem. This has gone on for 4 years and has prevented him getting a job because my panic attacks bcame so severe. I didn’t even go to the toilet on my own. It should never have got this far, but it has. I have 2 lovely children, aged 2 and 1. My husband is doing a training course to help get him back into work which is full time. This is the 3rd day and I am totally overwhelmed. I feel like running away. I feel its too much to go from no separation whatsoever to this full time. I wanted to make it work, but I feel like running away. I dont know what to do, I’m ruining everyones lives the way I am
I tried to get therapy but no one would see me with my husband, so I got really stuck. Even now, if I could go, nothing is going to come quick enough and I feel terrified. No one seems to understand, everyone seems to think will power alone will get me through, but I don;t think so. I want to run away
I did try prozac when I was younger, and didn’t really feel the benefits. I use propranolol, which I find really effective, but on the down side I have low blood pressure (around 97/56) so it can make me feel a bit light headed if I take it when its too low
Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. The following steps will eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) your panic attacks and should help alleviate your separation anxiety:
1.Breathe properly – if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks, OCD and separation anxiety etc. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely). You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: ww.livinglifetothefull.com
3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. You can get free downloads online, e.g. http://www.studentservices.utas.edu.au/counselling/audio_resources/index.html
With each step practise makes perfect. (i.e. practise the steps every day, not just when you are feeling bad). Think think you’ll find CBT a major help. I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
The child is 11 and has had panic attacks and is fearfull all the time.He has been on prozac for 2 months with much improvement…this is an inherited condition and he has a stable home with no tramitic experiences in his past.I am concerned of the long term with his condition.
Yes…he is under the care of a psycologist and peditrician
It is sometimes hard to know what the right thing to do is,especially when its your child and you are responsable for them.I have him on meds and I guess I just wanted reassureance that the choice I have made is the right one.For the long term…along with coping skills.I have the same dissorder but do not take meds.But I am 37 and he is only a child who is not able to talk himself out of a situation.Thank you for all the input.
There are a lot of different views on children taking meds for anxiety, depression, attention span disorders; some are negative and some are all FOR a child taking meds to control their disorders. I think it’s up to YOU the parent who has to deal with the child and the issues that accompany their disorder. If you are comfortable with your child taking meds and he/she is improving then I don’t see a problem with that so long as you are made well aware of the possible side effects of the meds on your child. And if the medication is improving their quality of life I don’t see why this would be a "bad" thing. It’s solely up to you. We as parents need to decide what is best for our kids. Don’t let people tell you that what you are doing is wrong or bad. It’s all about what will work for your child for them to have a normal life. That’s what’s important. Take care.
I have had anxiety since i was 16 and now am currently 25. I am pregnant with my first child and have become very stressed and anxiety ridden. I refuse to take any prescription drugs because they have adverse effects on the fetus. My friend who is an RN said it wouldn’t hurt the baby to smoke a couple of times while i was pregnant as long as it wasn’t excessive. is that okay?
and you don’t think that smoking pot wont hurt you baby your NUTS your friend needs to go find a new job and have her RN license taken away the pot will fu*k up your baby plus they will drug test you from time to time and if the find drugs in your system they will take your baby away

It is normal for children to sometimes feel anxious or insecure when separated from their parents or other important caregivers. Usually, such separation anxiety fades as they grow up and become more confident. If your child’s separation anxiety continues to persist after the age of five and starts affecting his or her life (e.g. refuses to be out of sight of parent), then your child may have Separation Anxiety Disorder, which involves excessive anxiety when a child is, or is expecting, to be separated from home or a loved one (such as a parent or a caregiver).

I am prone to panic attacks although usually I am a happy and assertive person and I sleep great, like a log.
Lately I have twisted thoughts – that’s my first clue that panic attacks are setting in – I overanalyze everything and even think negative things like that people don’t like me or laugh about me (I know, sounds paranoid but it’s more like negative thoughts) . My panic attacks include the physical traits of muscle tension to the point that I bend over and can’t straighten up, overbreathing, tingling up my spine, nausea, and shaking.
Right now my husband is in the hospital, actually in the ICU and he had two surgeries, both emergencies and the second one sounded like things were going bad and I was so scared that I would lose him. It turns out it was not life-threatening but you can never say that when it’s emergency surgery because they had to fix something so it wouldn’t possibly be life – threatening. It was only less than 24 hours ago that they called me and told me they were going to operate again just a few hours after the first surgery.
It’s routine stuff and he’s not sick so he should recover and come home soon but in the meantime I feel so isolated caring for four children that I get panic attacks triggered by feeling trapped and without help. My friend drove two hours to help for 24 hours but she went back home now. If I go to sleep I wake up an hour later feeling sick and panicked for no specific reason. No one I know would appreciate it if I called them to talk on the phone so I guess I’m typing here. Will this get better when he comes home in the next day or two? I don’t want to be on meds forever and usually I’m happy and panic-attack-free, but when they crop up, they feel like they are ruining my quality of life to put it mildly. I get non-functional and can’t eat or sleep. Thanks, and please don’t scold me for not getting on meds; I just don’t have any family support and only one friend who would help. I am not a person who depends on others; it’s not a plain case of being afraid to be alone, but I think I’m more prone to panic attacks when things are stressful and then the triggers are everywhere. A doctor gave me klonopin but I hate to use it and try not to. I took 1/4 tablet a few hours ago and felt relaxed and went to sleep great but still woke up 1 hour later just like I do without taking any meds – the panic still follows me around and won’t give me a break. It’s just vague uneasiness that lets up during the day when I am joking and happy and taking care of kids and supporting my husband but when I get tired at night these panic attacks have a hair-trigger and they feel terrible and scary and I don’t feel like myself at all.
By the way, years ago someone told me to take klonopin 3x per day and I tolerated it to where it didn’t have any noticeable effect (now 1/4 pill almost knocks me out and I take about 2 doses this size per year if that) and back then I got such terrible rebound or tolerance panic attacks 24/7 that I became incapacitated and had to be hospitalized for a week and didn’t feel OK again for 4 weeks. It’s like it nearly ruined my brain and left me close to dead because I could not eat or function normally at all. This is why I like to use the meds sparingly and try other things first. At that time they put me on an old antidepressant that made me mostly unable to go to the bathroom. I know about all the SSRIs but they also make me "not myself," in a good way I guess but I like being myself so isn’t there any way to beat these panic attacks without taking pills?
I forgot to say that it’s 1:57 AM Thursday here and since Monday evening I slept one hour of each night with about one hour of nap each day. I have hardly slept because I can’t or was in the hospital helping my husband in this crisis. I know it’s ruining my mental health to be underslept and I’ve hardly eaten anything either but I’m trying.
Bless your heart! It sounds like you have more than enough for both of your concerns… having panic attacks and taking meds. While sometimes you can beat panic attacks without meds, when quality of life is affected it starts becoming a "pick your battle" situation.
This answer is a little long, but maybe some of these suggestions would be helpful.
1. First things first, tell someone. Anyone. This way, when things get too hard to handle, you don’t have to explain yourself in the middle of a very difficult time. The last thing you want to do in the middle of an attack is explain it to someone. Of course, I am going to strongly recommend seeing a doctor, but you’ve made it clear thats not what you’d prefer, so maybe some of these will help:
2. Since you are having the most trouble when you sleep, try sleeping next to a heating pad or hot pack. I know it sounds crazy, but in your sleep your subconscious mind won’t know the difference between a person or that. You can even wrap it around a big pillow. Also remember that sometimes we can trick our senses by making a little noise with a fan, etc.
3. Hot tea! Celestial Seasonings makes a few such as tension tamer or sleepy time which will relax you.
4. If all else fails, try taking an antihistamine. This has been shown to reduce anxiety sometimes just by helping your body relax so you can get to sleep.
Also, if your children are old enough, delegate responsibilities and explain to them it’s for their father, not just you, and that they could be of great help during this difficult time. If that doesn’t work, try atleast having one child stay with a friend or relative a few days out of the week.
And to answer your main question, yes, most of the time panic attacks will subside when stress slows down. However, learning to conquer them during the hard times is an important step toward overcoming the problem altogether. (Try googling from Panic to Power)
Sorry for the book here, but I hope this helps. Prayers for you!
