gee....very useful tips u hav dereOriginally posted by alfagal:well seems like u are handling it well..jus some suggestions:
-go find out more about anxiety attacks or panic attacks so tat u reg. e symptoms and know tat u are when u are having one (i think urs is not tat severe la, since u dun associate it w doom)
-trainin urself in muscle-relaxation techniques: eg squeeze up all ur body muscles as if u are having a fit for 15seconds then relax..
-induce hyperventilation to reduce ur attacks
-change unrealistic thought (which is wat u are doing, reminding urself tat its silly to think tat way), coping statements ( i can get thru this)
-face the symptoms: allowin it to happen, and let e reactions pass
-identify ur cause: i think its stress due to loss of job...
but if tis persists, better see doc...easier to manage with medications. (most docs wld prescribe anti-depressants or Benzodiapines..)
cheers
yes..i wil "try my best" to do the abv regularly..hehe
thk u
(btw, i do take xanax,...but trying to stop takin it altogether, but now i guess hav to keep on takin in intervals..wat u tink?) -
where did you get the medication from?

if i m not wrong. Xanax is from the family of Benzodiapines..one thing bout tis family of drugs is tat it will cause dependcy therefore u wld rely on it more n more often...Originally posted by CP25:gee....very useful tips u hav dere

prescribed by doctors i suppose? then pls follow his/her instructions. and i really mean religiously close...under and overdosage could lead to many complications..
its tricky to take tis type of medicine cos not all patients react to it immediately. general guideline is not to take for long period of time (6-8mths) - u will grow to b dependent on it..but e prob is: u cant stop abruptly, as it will lead to psychological and withdrawal symptoms.
maybe tatz y ur attacks suddenly reoccur?
i m not a psychiatrist, and dun have ur medical history...would still b wise to refer to your doctor.

my advise is not to take medication at all.
your situation is mild and can be cured by going out more often. -
