Is it possible to be cured of anxiety disorder/panic attacks or do I have it forever?

Answer 1

This has to be cured by medicines as well as tuning the mind. For medicines go to a homeopath because homeopathy has better medicines without any side effects. Regarding tuning the mind read Bhagavad Gita and it will help you a lot to overcome anxiety & fear.

Answer 2

I had panic attacks and anxiety and went on a very low dose of an antidepressant to get me through the worst part of it at the beginning. But I also see a therapist and that helped a lot more in my opinion. I made some huge changes in my life that helped as well. I cut out caffeine and alcohol for a while and made sure I got into bed before 10:00 every night. I made sure I got some exercise every day. I practiced breathing routines and did yoga for relaxation. I used a journal to record things that were making me anxious. I also stopped watching the news every evening because it would get me upset. I watched comedies instead, because it felt better to laugh. These things helped a lot. I don't still do all those things every day- but if I'm having a bad week or something, I go right back into the routine because I know it makes me feel better. The medication was just to get me to be able to function normally because when I first started having panic attacks I was afraid to even leave my house. But once I started working on the other stuff, I didn't need the medication anymore.

Answer 3

Medication is not a cure, but a management of panic attacks. I had my first panic attack when I was 3 years old, although I did not know it was a panic attack. I finally got a diagnosis and medication 18 years ago. At the present time I am on Cymbalta and Librium. I have tried many anti-depressant medications through the years. I also spent 5 years in therapy. I know I am biologically predisposed to this, and that my childhood environment exacerbated it. No one can imagine how debilitating having a panic disorder unless they have it.

Answer 4

Look at yourself...I mean, take a real good look at yourself. Are you looking in the mirror? Good... Think about you and what "you" are capable of. The pill you are searching for is yourself. Anything is possible. What matters the most is what you elect to do with your life today and learn form what you've been though in the past. You need to find some way within yourself to eliminate your anxieties/panic attacks.
No one handed you your ad/pa, you brought that on yourself. Is that because of your past experiences? Think of your past. Figure out when this problem 1st started and work your way up from there. The more you know about you, the better.
For every problem, there is a solution. All things unsearched are never found. Search yourself and you will find your answer.

Answer 5

I would suggest you visit a good PSYCHOLOGIST. In my opinion I would rather learn to deal with my problems than be so doped up I can't remember I have them (I'm not a scientologist, it's just my opinion). I used to suffer from very severe panic attacks. I went to a very good psychologist for a little under a year and I learned to deal with all of the stress and anxiety.

Try meditation or just deep breathing can help you deal with a panic attack. But definitely visit a professional.

Answer 6

While a definitive answer is probably best left to a legitimate healthcare professional, it is my understanding that those particular problems are rarely actually "cured" so much as treated and managed effectively.

If something like that is disrupting your life, you can dramatically reduce the likelihood of its occuring by seeking appropriate treatment. Whether drug or behavioral therapy, or a combination will work best will be determined by your doctor.

Will you have the potential to have a panic attack for the rest of your life? Most likely. The good news is that they don't have to disrupt you for the rest of your life.

Answer 7

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.

Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

Answer 8

For me I cannot imagine it getting better w/o meds. I have to take Klonopin and it works. I have it severly bad too. I have tried to live w/o the meds, and all day is crazy. I also woke up several times in the middle of the night freakin out thinking I hear sounds, or panicing about something minor like putting laundry in the dryer
.
I hate meds, but they work and that works for me. Anxiety is to painful for me. I consider myself pretty strong when it comes to stuff like that too. So I dunno. That probably didn't help much did it?

Answer 10

Usually yes. It might take a while for your brain to be able to cope with and overcome your anxiety, but eventually it should subside. I know mine did. Just relax and take things one step at a time.
