Hi, Rose. Kudos to you for trying to avoid the drugs. I tried them bacause I wanted to feel better and they made me very, very sick for months. My (new) therapist and I decided the best thing for me is talk therapy with a Xanax occasionally when needed. (I rarely take them because they can be addictive, but as you can tell from other people, the other drugs also cause dependencies - you need to use a lot of caution). I know you don't like drugs, but what about homeopathics? They've been used for many centuries more than our modern drugs and cause slow changes by making the body work to change. I have a great natural med MD that works out of my local health food store. (Yes, he's an actual MD.) Maybe combine homeopathics with therapy and it will help more for you. Let us know how you are doing.

Hi I have taken paxil and prozac in the past. Both made me gain a lot of weight (30+lbs). The weight gain made so miserable, along with the other side effects, that this time I have decided to try and not take any medication. It has been very hard. There are days where I am practically in a state of panic all day. Not full blown panic, but anxiety and shaky, or mini pa's throughout the day. I have been holding out for close to 2 months and I intend to try to stay away from meds for as long as I can. I do have some caffeine (about 2 diet sodas a day), but I try to rest and relax as much as possible.

Hi Crimson Roses. It sounds to me like your panic disorder is still in its infancy and hasn't yet exploded into something uncontrollable. I think the best thing for you is to get LOTS AND LOTS of sleep and avoid ANY stress that isn't absolutely necessary. Be very stingy with your energy, and even a little selfish. I think drugs should be saved as a last resort (i.e. if you can't get out of bed or leave your home). Drugs aren't a cure, they're just a bandaid. Moreover, once you start taking drugs it will be very difficult for you to stop. I wish I followed this advice 3.5 years ago--I'm still hooked on drugs and I don't think I'll ever get off them!!!

I was afraid of meds also. But when counseling didn't work I felt I had no choice. I went almost two months on an average of four hours a day. My job was suffering because all I wanted to do when I got to work was sleep. So I had no choice but to try some meds. I hope you can control your attacks without them. Keep up the good work.

Hi Roses, My thought in this whole thing is whatever works for you, GREAT! I'm glad to hear that you can manage the symptoms without meds- I know I cant wait to get back to that point. :) I am leary of meds, but more leary about the panic and anxiety that I cannot control just yet without meds. What is the saying- "If it aint broke, dont fix it?" Stay strong! Beth

Hey Everyone, For as long as I can remember I have been afraid of taking any form of medication, including asprin, vitimins, you name it. Recently a friend of mine was talking to me about how well the medication she was on was working to eliminate her panic attacks. She suggested to me that I get a perscription of some sort of medication that would help me since it was working so well for her. To be honest I didn't even considder the thought for a moment. The answer was no. In the meantime, after a super stressful week I have begun an even more rigorus diet, and anti-panic plan (as I call it). I have almost completely eliminated all simple sugars, caffine, and other stimuli (which, belive me, is nearly death to a teenager). I have also increased the amount of excercise I get per day. Is there anyone here who has gone though an improvement or success without taking medication? Or am I doing this all in vain? Knowing me, I will probably never submit to taking medication, so I would like to know now if this diet and plan are just something to distract my mind temporarily. Thanks, Roses
