@Anon.... I want to apologize. For some reason, I never got a notice of your post and hope that somewhere over the past year someone has able to help you cope with your anxiety attacks. I've made a visit to the ER myself for panic attacks so I definitely relate to how frightening and overwhelming it can be. I did some research and there are a number of medications that are sometimes used to treat anxiety disorder such as Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, Cymbalta, Effexor, Klonopin, and Ativan. Some opt for natural remedies such as kava, valerian or passionflower. I also read that anti-depressants are sometimes an option along with psychotherapy.
Regular aerobic exercise is reported to help with panic attacks along stress management techniques, deep breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga. This is the path that I took when I was having anxiety attacks and it helped me reduce my stress and eventually the attacks stopped. I would encourage you to try some of these activities and make time for you. Please feel free to send me an email if you still need more info or help. Mary
