Pharmacophobia (fear of medicine), Panic attacks and hypnosis?
I had two really bad panic attacks that sent me to the ER in the last couple of months, each time after taking simple/not particularly strong medicine (such as codeine cough syrup). I’ve been living in fear of having another panic attack and saw a therapist but it didn’t help. I don’t want to live like that and I’m really afraid of the next time I will need to take something – ie if I get an infection and need antibiotics. I used to be able to take anything my doctor would prescribe without a second thought. Now, I have to work up the courage to even take a Tums. The times I had panic attacks, I just kept thinking about the possible side effects and it spun out of control – it’s like I couldn’t stop my mind from having terrible thoughts. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to overcome their fear? I’m wondering in particular about hypnosis. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
Curing phobias is easy with hypnosis. You be regressed back to when the phobia first started, find out why, and fix the problem in 1 session.
Make sure you speak to your physician first and ask for a referral or other possible suggestions.

I started having panic attacks almost 10 years ago. The Doc’s gave me different meds to try to "fix" this problem. They sent me to a shrink and a counselor. They put me on Effexor- the worst thing I’ve ever allowed to be done to me. They were all just band-aids for the problem. Nothing ever fixed it. I Got the Lucinda Basset tapes for panic attacks- did tons of research and finally met a doctor who had a brain!!! She gave me a saliva test for adrenal fatigue. Turns out panic attacks are caused by certain deficiencies in the body such as low Epinephrine, high Cortisol, Doapamine, Serotonin. Tell your doctor to order this test for you. It is the only real way to find out what’s actually wrong so that they can fix it. I swear I think doctors must be taking kick backs from the drug companies so they just keep us medicated instead of trying to fix the real problem and help us.
Test info:
"Neuro Adrenal 1 Profile" test from Neuro Science, Inc. 373 280th street, Osceola, WI 54020 Phone: 1-888-342-7272 http://www.neuroadrenalinc.com
The test consists of 3 small tubes for saliva collection and opne small vial for urine. You take the test from home and then mail back to the lab with the pre-paid postage. They send the results to your doctor, who then should give you a copy. Good luck!!

First off your brain is the most powerful organ in your body. It can be a very scary thing. I’m sure that you know deep down that these feelings you are having about taking medicine are ridiculous, right? You have to change your thoughts about taking them into positive ones (they will make me feel better, for example). Second, your doctor would not prescribe them to you if he/she thought they were gonna do you harm. If you change your attitute about it, you’ll be fine.
Good Luck
