Help! Panic attacks are scaring me into even less sleep

[marheart]

How do you handle Panic attacks?

That bully goes between anxiety and up to panic lately. Therapist says I have to get out in the world at least a couple of times each week. Meds make me sick.

I'm resistant. Don't want to go out there and have people see me with my walker, having problems breathing. I don't want to experience this new me, suffering day and night.

40 million reported cases of Panic Disorder and still no real help?

I've been taking Xanax for over ten yrs. now and it's still effective for me. While there are many other meds if they make you sick perhaps dissolving medication in a flavored beverage may help. Unless your body is allergic to or rejects the medication. Since I am a patient I must ask if you have tried any of the medical marijuana products available? As a long-time user I can positively state that it does have beneficial medicinal effects. Not everyone can or will try this route. It's just a suggestion. Of course not for everyone.
