William T, gave you a good answer. I am a clinical psychiatrist an I don't like putting people on aprazolam, (Xanax/Tafil), for a phobia.

Prefer to perform hypnosis, biofeedback, behavior modification reality therapy and taking the patient out into the area where they have their phobia and spending as much time as possible until they start to have a panic attack and then we leave the situation.

Each time we increase the time in the area of the phobia. After awhile you hope they will overcome their phobia. (Ofcourse there are some people where none of the above work).

And for them to live a quality life then I will put them on Aprazolam 1mg. BID, (X 2 per day). As I want them to be able to live a quality life.

I did mine the old fashion way. I challenged myself bit by bit by exposing myself to things that caused claustrophobia. Too, I would stay in that location as long as I could and extend the length of time as much as possible. Over time, I increased the difficulty of the location and the exposed time to it until I generally don't have problems with it now.

Therapy may help to uncover the reason(s) behind claustrophobia and can help to overcome it. You may not be able to resolve this with home remedies and may make it worse.

I don't know of any, but I know how you feel, i can't even ride in the back of 2 door cars because i feel like I'm not getting any air, and literally stick my head as close to the front by the window as I can. It really is a horrible feeling!
