What medication will help my panic and anxiety attacks ?
Xanax is the best for panic attacks , it takes the shortest amount of time to take effect.
Try everything else, but medication. That is the worst option. Meditation (mindfulness ) or something like that. It takes time to show results, but definitely better. Medications do NOT cure any mental condition. It simply alleviates symptoms , and temporarily ,than it takes larger doses or makes other health problems. I took ativan for only six months, but developed such horrible addiction that the withdrawal from it caused panic attacks and anxiety of unbelievable proportion. Eighteen months later I still have them occasionally. Meditation and CBT helped immensely.
I've tried other coping mechanisms and nothing really seems to work except smoking pot (judge all ya want it actually helps y'all). At this point I need something that's going alleviate some symptoms because I'm sick of dealing with this constantly I'm ready to give up. I'm sorry about how it affected you and I'll definitely take that into consideration!
Never, ever, give up ! If smoking pot helps you at this moment, than do it. But try not to relay on it too much, too often. There are better things to use with no side effects. Why not try the combination of pot smoking and CBT technique , than gradually reduce the first as your mind takes hold of the second ?
I think valium is the best. Anytime I took xanax I suffered with worse anxiety for days afterwards. Valium has helped me live my life.
