Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. Sorry I can't advise on Nortriptyline, but the following steps will eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) your panic attacks and 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 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: www.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). I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!

Answer 5

SSRI antidepressants Tricyclic antidepressants MAOI antidepressants Trazodone, mirtazapine - atypical antidepressants Beta blockers Hyrdroxyzine (anxiolytic antihistamine used short term med) That's about it, to be honest! Edit: The second poster is right, pregabalin (Lyrica) has some use, and some research is going into gabapentin (Neurontin)

Answer 6

ask your dr about neurontin and zyprexa. neurontin has made my anxiety much more managable. It has also worked for my son. I still get anxious in normal anxiety producing situations but I don't struggle with free floating anxiety which was exhausting to me! My dr was also thinking about my trying zyprexa which I haven't needed so far. That is on the back burner in case neurontin ceases to work.
