DISQUS

Best Panic attacks treatment: Every night I have “panic attacks” that occur even if I’m perfectly calm. What is this and how can I help it?

    Maybe try switching to lexapro or cymbalta. they are for both depression and axiety.

    Its possible to have panic attacks even if you are happy. they come out of no where. its from past stressors that are barely finding a way to release themselves so to say.

    Talk to your doctor more. maybe try talking to him about .25 mg xanax. its a low dose but can help when these symptoms arrise.

    It's definitely not your fault you feel this way. Anxiety is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain and can be corrected with medication, so you might want to talk to your doctor about changing medications or dosages. But also, you really should go to a talk therapist as well so that you can address the problems that race through your mind and learn how to counteract them. A therapist can be really helpful because they can explain to you why you feel that way, and when you understand your anxiety you will be able to overcome it much faster.

    It is very possible that you could find some relief by changing your night time routine.

    Consider sleeping somewhere that is not a bed,
    with the lights on and some soft sounds. (radio, cd, tv, fan, etc.)
    Before "sleep" do some purposeful direction of your thoughts to positive thoughts and phrases, whether reading favorite poems aloud, or Bible verses on love or encouragement or proverbs. It can be the same words every night, or it can be different stories or poems. Consider sleeping in your clothes, wrapped in a blanket, drifting off in your reading. Singing softly can be a positive mood maker too.

    (Steer away from loud, angry, sad, disturbing thoughts. Keep it light and happy and loving, all sunshine and flowers.

    There is a little trick I learned that you might incorporate. When a disturbing thought comes to mind, and won't leave.....close your eyes for a 3-second blink. Say aloud "STOP". Then open your eyes, and place in your mind (read) something positive to concentrate on, even if you have to read it over 10 times to block the bad thought. You can learn to control your thoughts, rather than letting your thoughts control you.


    Very important - work with a therapist often - weekly if possible.
    This therapist should see changes in you. If you go 3 months without improvement, it would be time to find another therapist.

    Something happened to you January 2006. Something that changed you, causing you fear. That would be a very good place to start in your therapy.

    There are 2 programs out there that are famous for treating Panic Attacks and Anxiety successfully.
    They are: Panic Away and The Linden Method.

    You may wonder, "Which one is better?" Don't worry, you're not the only one with that question.

    The Panic Away program is more appropriate for people who can cope with their Panic Attacks or Anxiety well.
    Linden Method is more for those who aren't really good in coping their Panic Attacks or Anxiety well.
