How Can I Stop My Anxiety Attacks ?
I went to the doctor about them and i was only told to lay off caffeine seeing as i usually drink a 2 liter a day. but it seems to me the more i think about having the attacks i create them myself with my mind and its almost impossible to get them off of my mind and there any medication for things like this.

start with having your own mantras. like “i can do this” or “theres nothing i can’t handle” and repeat them to yourself

many time doctors will prescribe antidepressants, such as Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, Effexor, Prozac, etc…sometimes these meds can be effective – but it takes a while to get used to them (you might need to start out with a lower dose than even the doctor recommends in order to get used to them)….if effective, they do have some side effects – usually minor – each person reacts differently.
sometimes they’ll prescribe benzodiazepines (tranquilizers) – although this isn’t likely, due to the high rate of abuse…commonly prescribed ones are Klonopin, Ativan, and Xanax…they are either very effective or just make you sleepy – again, it depends on the individual…
however, believe it or not the very newest trend is to prescribe just the opposite of tranquilizers! – they’re finding that *stimulants*, used commonly to treat those with ADD & ADHD are, for some people *extremely* effective – especially if you suffer from anxiety in social situations (known as social anxiety disorder)…
although caffeine is also a stimulant, it doesn’t affect the brain the same way that stimulants do…and, although they can make you *jittery* just like caffeine does, when they work, they can *completely* eliminate the anxiety/panic…
i suffered for years from social anxiety – i tried every med available – nothing worked – that is, until i found an article about stimulants being effective, handed it to my dr., he prescribed me a *LOW* dose of Adderall XR (10mg 1x per day), and within 1 hr of taking the very first pill, my panic and anxiety was COMPLETELY gone…
that was 3 yrs ago – i still take the same low dose every morning, and it’s still just as effective.
btw, despite any horror stories you may have heard about stimulants, they’re very safe and non-addictive – that is, if they’re not abused.
good luck.

yes there is but how often you get them? and if you get them everyday and messin up your daily life then you can get xanax for panic attacks but caffine really doesn’t have anything to do with cause of panic attacks just try to think of something else to not think about the attacks that will make it worse. and if you have anxiety disorder it makes it worse.

By realizing they are happening and calming yourself down. Medication can fry your brain over time.

he said stop caffeine, tell him you want some xanax or something…
caffeine actually helps me from getting anxious, gives me energy to do things, and improves my mood.
