Answer 1

You say that you are already on anxiety meds and you have a reason to be anxious. All right then, your medication needs adjusting and it appears that you need a little help dealing with whatever is causing you anxiety. The doctor that specializes in adjusting anxiety medication is a psychiatrist and then perhaps you should talk to a good therapist regarding your anxiety issues.

Take control...go to the doctor and go to the therapist.

Good Luck. I hope you will be feeling better soon.

Answer 2

If you are having such severe panic attacks and are already on anti-anxiety medications, than I would talk to your doctor right away, and see what other alternatives you have. If your doctor does not give you a satisfactory answer than I would change doctor right away. You may very well need to change the medication you are on. Also remember that panic attacks come in cycles, what your feeling now doesn't mean you are going to feel this way next week, or even tomorrow. I know what I am talking about, I have had panic attacks for about 30 years. But if you find the right medication and do relaxation exercises, the panic attacks will become manageable. Good luck.

Answer 3

You need to eliminate the anxiety if at all possible. Can you get rid of the reason to have wicked bad anxiety? If that's what's causing the problem? Do you need to talk to someone? Do you think it would help?
If you could get to the root of the problem; maybe you could release the anxiety.
Do what you can to get better. Medication can sometime make thing worse. You have to be careful how you get off some of that stuff. Some you need to get off gradually. If you do try to get off; ask a pharmacist or doctor how to gradually get off...safely. Don't keep going back and forth with it.
Take care.

Answer 4

If i were you i'd get off the medications and try natural things to help yourself.
If your body is giving off anxiety it's because there is something wrong, fix the problem and get better.
Medications just cover a problem that could turn very serious.
Try taking bubble baths more often.
Also, I was getting very bad a year ago, then started running and since then I feel like a million bucks everyday...
Now I just need the million!

Learning how to relax may help you head off a panic attack. You can learn to relax through a variety of techniques, such as meditation, muscle relaxation, relaxed breathing and guided imagery (visualization).

Relaxation is more than getting away from the work-a-day grind, and it's more than the absence of stress. It's a specific, intentional action that's positive and satisfying — a feeling in which you experience peace of mind. True relaxation requires becoming sensitive to your basic needs for peace, self-awareness and thoughtful reflection and having the willingness to meet these needs.

Relaxation techniques can help lessen the discomfort and duration of the signs and symptoms of stress, such as headaches, anxiety, high blood pressure, trouble falling asleep, hyperventilation, and clenching or grinding your teeth. One simple method is to remove yourself from a stressful situation, block the world out and concentrate on your body. These steps can help you relax:

Sit or lie in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Allow your jaw to drop and your eyelids to be relaxed and heavy, but not tightly closed.

Mentally scan your body. Start with your toes and work slowly up through your legs, buttocks, torso, arms, hands, fingers, neck and head. Focus on each part individually. Where you feel tension, imagine it melting away.

Tighten the muscles in one area of your body. Hold the muscles for a count of five or more before relaxing and moving on to the next area. This is a good method for releasing tension. Tighten the muscles of your face, shoulders, arms, legs and buttocks.

Allow thoughts to flow through your mind, but don't focus on any of them. Many people find using autosuggestion to be a great help. Suggest to yourself that you're relaxed and calm, that your hands are heavy and warm (or cool if you're hot), that your heart is beating calmly, and that you feel perfectly at peace.

Breathe slowly, regularly and deeply during the procedure. Once you're relaxed, imagine you're in a favorite place or in a spot of great beauty and stillness. After five or 10 minutes, rouse yourself from the state gradually.

To maximize the benefits of these stress-reduction techniques, be sure to also get adequate sleep, eliminate caffeine and other stimulants from your diet, and engage in regular exercise. About 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity most days of the week can improve your psychological well-being.

I took a class thru my therapist on managing panic disorder, it was very effective in teaching me skills necessary to keep one's anxiety and panic under control, with or without meds.

Answer 7

May be you should STOP taking the anxiety medication, then after that, you should get to the bottom of the reason that's causing the problem and just face it head on once & for all because it is self made problems.it's all in the mind !
