What should I do about panic attacks?
I got a panic attack last night, it lasted maybe an hour and I was filled with extreme fear of everything, i thought i was going to die and was thinking horrible thoughts, what should I do if this happens again.
I’m really scared
Don’t wait until it happens again. See a doctor about getting anti-anxiety medication. It will help tremendously.

See a good Doc that understands. But when this happens late at night ring someone, any helpline will talk you thru this. Have done this myself. Even rang the emergency services for an Ambulance once an d the people on the other end of the phone were the best, made it thru that one with their help.
It is frightening but with the right Meds things will be better.

Hey, I truly understand how you feel…
The uncomfortable symptoms like sweaty palms, "jelly" legs, extreme alertness, "impending doom" feeling and the fight-or-flight response.
I’ve been there. I’m an ex-victim. Sometimes the deep breathing or distraction techniques doesn’t work – a full-blown panic or anxiety attack happens later.
Sometimes you experience panic attack out of the blue and such.
Do NOT buy Panic Away, Linden Method, EasyCalm or the Panic Puzzle. They do NOT work – I’ve tried them and their solutions are similar – it DOESN’T WORK.
Medications do NOT work – I was under many antidepressants (Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil and Zoloft) and anti-anxiety medications (Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax) but my condition was the same – no improvement at all.
The only program that really work is The Panic Attack Solution. It’s found by an ex-victim. You can check out his old blog in his official website to read up some useful tips.
But the package is the best – it teaches 18 powerful techniques and the real solution to panic attacks. I’ve bought it and it really helped me – it’s the BEST anti-anxiety package or book I’ve read.
His theory really makes sense.
You will learn why your panic attacks can happen without warning sometimes; why having stimulant causes panic attacks; and many-many other useful tips!

The best thing you can do is take your mind off the axiety. Many times when people have panic attacks they are having fear of the panic attack more than anything else. So, you wind up worrying about something that is really not there. It’s fear of fear and can be a cycle. Anything you can do to occupy your mind would be helpful. Just be sure to completely focus yourself on something else.
There are medications such as Xanax that can help to subdue it. But drugs have side effects and are only good if it is a temporary condition. So, try not to worry about it too much.

I would highly recommend that you read a report that I have found very helpful. I got an email with the report in it that my friend sent me. I have looked it up and you can get it from
http://www.treat-yourself-better.com .
It is free and it helps you to find out what is causing the attacks, once you know this you can stop them

Having panic attack is painful, I know.
However, I have read some really good stories about people having
success using this method here to deal with anxiety and panic attacks.
