I have searched the forums and have read some posts dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. I have been dealing with this for the past 6 months or so and they have recently become almost debilitating. I saw a counselor who specialized in anxiety and learned breathing techniques etc. It seemed to work for awhile, along with taking St. John's wort. Well, the panic attacks are back with a vengeance and nothing seems to be helping. I called my Dr. and she prescribed Zoloft for me. After 3 days of solid research, I found out that these SSRI'for me are a recipe for disaster. You see, I am so incredibly sensitive to any medication, even regular allegra makes me tired, irritable, spacey, cotton mouth, etc. I am allergic to all antibiotics and don't even think about giving me Sudafed, Claritin D, even the caffeine in green tea makes me jump out of my skin with anxiety. I know there is no way I can tolerate the side effects of an SSRI, let alone deal with the drama of trying to get off one.
I guess my question is, has anyone found a natural remedy that helps calm panic and anxiety? I feel like I am about to loose my flipping mind at this point. It seems there has to be something less traumatizing to the body then Xanax or SSRI's to help combat anxiety.
Thanks for hearing me out.
