Can anxiety be so bad no amount of mediation or therapy can affect it?
I personally believe I could have a panic attack even if they had me on morphine.
I suppose that is possible, but unlikely.

One thing worth checking are your hormone levels. I had low cortisol once and had unbelievable levels of anxiety. I thought I was going insane. It’s cheap and easy to do, even with a home test using saliva.
I’m not saying this is you, but if you think it’s not psychological, it’s probably worth it to check medical explanations off the list.
BTW, I had the same scenario you describe, I spent years doing therapy and meditation of various types and finally figured it had to be medical in nature, and it was. Meditation and therapy are fantastic, once your body is working properly.

well I think since morphine is for pain, and not for panic attacks, you probably could still have an panic attack. Part of panic attacks and anxiety problems is within oneself. I hate to say that because I hate when others say things to me like that….. but you have to do some stuff to calm yourself down. mediation, relaxation, prayer, journaling, anything to free your mind from what is causing the panic attack.

Anxiety only has as much power as we allow it to have. Panic attacks are scary. I know I’ve had them too but this is something you can get control of.

Poor choice of medicinal remedy … it is common for people to have anxiety attacks on morphine. That is one of the ways nurses can tell it was not the right choice for that patient.
The proper amount of determination, medication and therapy can help you learn how to cope with your anxiety attacks, but I don’t believe anything but death can ever stop them.
