[antomax]

I would like to know which meds worked for your panics??

I use a small amount of Ativan, which I am tapering off of. The SSRI's I just couldn't tolerate.

Hiya,
med wise setriline helped a bit with anxiety and panic, but mostly it was lorazapam or any benzo and zopiclone which would stop an attack/stop anxiety. But they are only a short term fix so have been doing cbt as well

I found exercise worked for anxiety during the day, used up all that extra energy and temporarily got rid of anxiety. Though it's finding the motivation especially if you suffer from depressed/social anxiet as well.

Hi

I'm on Fluoxtine for anxiety/depression, and it does a pretty good job at calming my anxiety

Exercise is good. The other thing is talking to myself. When I feel it coming on, I stop and observe what's happening, then think, does this feel like anxiety? Could it be something else? If so, what is it? By this time, I'm distracted enough for it to go away.
