People in different walks of life tend to panic in different ways but the common factor is the cause of panic which is stress or anxiety. When a family member was found lying in the floor and not breathing the immediate response is either to burst and out and cry for help and maybe many will do the right thing which is to call for medical help since he cannot rescue the life of his family member by himself. We tend to panic in situations wherein time to accomplish something is very limited. If you’re caught in the office and your boss demands a report to the board in just few minutes, you tend to panic and worst is you don’t have even a single page to present. As presented, panic can either result to termination of life or employment. If you are the rescuer, you might die first because of heart attack after panic before the patient or fired from work before your boss terminates you.

In stopping panic attacks, you tend to be firm with yourself. I agree that it might be difficult to execute for quite sometime but try hard to do it in every situation that you are faced with. Try to relax and think of solutions rather than additional problems that might link to the situation if you don’t do the right thing. Stay in focus and have presence of mind. React in a right way! Always remember that you cannot solve or deal with something if you’re not in the right mind.

If you really find it hard to do these, try to meditate and think of something that will let you stay in focus. Search the books and internet for some tips that will help you learn to stay in focus during emergencies and demanding situations. If certain issues trigger panic, consult a psychologist and make an appointment and explore what is biofeedback. Speak out what you feel when in stress and what are your initial actions. Biofeedback lets you explore stressful situations with the goal that opening it up will let you be used to it thus panic will be lessened. It also associated with desensitization.

How do we effectively deal with panic attacks? First, identify the cause and the contributing factors associated to the attack. Let it be known that panic attacks are psychological response of the body towards a stressful event. On the other hand, we can experience attack for the first time and so we cannot deal with it since attacks can be triggered by different situations and not by certain events. And so, whatever the triggering factor is one must be knowledgeable on how to handle the attack.

Stress is known to be the primary causative factor that causes panic attacks. First, person feels anxious and the feeling progresses into agitation, distress thus causing panic. Vital signs tend to rise significantly and it is very visible that a person sweats profusely, breathe rapidly and deeply and the heart rate is really pounding. Physical signs and symptoms are going to and fro, altered vision, tend to repeat words being said, questions repetitively and the person will burst out crying. These signs and symptoms vary from every individual since we tend to react to situations in a unique way.

Stress management is one of the simplest yet effective ways in dealing with panic attacks. Everyday seems to be a stressful one if you don’t know how to live life in a positive way. It’s quite impossible to avoid stress but minimizing its effects is really possible. Stress is like a challenging competition wherein you need to win the game!

Focus and presence of minds are necessary qualities that you must have whenever faced in a demanding situation so as to prevent an attack. It is where meditation and biofeedback sets it. Although it’s really hard to achieve, you need to try and keep yourself intact. Worrying and thinking too much won’t help you. Think of possible solutions and avoid minding branches of problems that may come across the situation. In conclusion, don’t think of future problems rather think of positive solutions.

Medications will help relax a person having an intense attack since it provides a calming effect that will loosen the intense psychological response. Muscle relaxation is the primary effects of these drugs and side effects include drowsiness and enhance sleep quality.

Remedies come in various forms and there is truth that you don’t need to spend much just to manage the situation. You can embrace traditional approach and feel assured of its effectiveness. Since stress is the primary root of anxiety and panic attacks then you must learn how to manage stress positively. Bear in mind that you cannot run from stress since it will hunt you throughout your lifespan. The best way to deal with stress is learning how to minimize its negative effects. Take it as a lifetime challenge wherein you must end up as the undefeated winner. Stress management takes different forms from simple to complex approach. This kind of therapy is known to be very effective to all since everyone has its own preference on how to handle stress. Some prefers to go out with family and friends while some prefer to be alone and go on vacation or shopping. Stress management wants to refresh the mind and be ready for next set of stressful events.

Another alternative is to learn how to meditate. This second type of therapy will help you to learn how to focus and make it a center point whenever you need to especially when having panic attacks. It also teaches the proper breathing technique so that mind is supplied with oxygen that aids proper circulation that results to right judgment during emergent situations.

The environment that you are exposed to greatly contributes in managing panic attacks. You must settle for a milieu that is free from any form of distractions (in the form of noise, light or untidy surroundings). As much as possible it is conducive for sleeping so as to relax the body and the mind and ease physical symptoms of the attacks such as apprehension and agitation. Since it’s hard to let the person rest while in panic, try to divert his attention into a lees frightening topic. It is an effective way to reduce the anxiety level of the person. If he keeps on mentioning thoughts, try to enlighten him with positive ideas so as to relieve her with emotional burdens that might aggravate the attack.

Lastly, you can remedy panic attacks by taking anti-anxiety medications. The effects of the medication results to muscle relaxation thus decreasing body tension and help vital signs go back to normal. Side effects of these medications include drowsiness and dizziness thus it is best taken during night time or before sleep.

Now to tell you the truth dear readers, we didn’t even get to scratch the surface of what could happen should you decide to stop your medication without the help of a qualified physician.

Once again, I am making a DISCLAIMER here and now that this is not to speak ill of Paxil or any other medication that is on the market today that is for fighting anxiety or depression.

In fact I am all for anything that will help a person feel better in their own skin.

The following is just a recount of my own personal experience of what can happen to a person when they try to stop a medication cold turkey, especially when that medication alters certain levels of chemicals in the brain.

About a year ago I was having a very, very busy time with my two kids and my husband, a newly married woman who was used to being on her own with her kids. I was supposed to pick up my prescription for that month and could not afford it, so, being a mom I said to myself that I could last until the twentieth of the month and then I would pick them up, no big deal right?

Wrong! This was on the second day of the month, there were 18 days to go. Folks, if you think that not too much could go wrong in that amount of time you are seriously kidding yourself. The following is a breakdown of my symptoms up until the twentieth of the month when I finally got myself back on the Paxil.

Day 2—Only 2 days off the paxil, I thought I was doing ok, just a little irritable.

Day 4—I was getting very cranky with my family and I was starting to cry a little. I still thought, ok I can handle this.

Day 8—Now I am starting to start fights with my husband because everything that he did annoyed me. As for my kids, they tended to stay away from me. I was starting to get cold sweats and heart palpitations.

Day 10—One of the worst days. I tried to roll myself a cigarette and when I could not get the roller to work I flipped out and threw it across the kitchen. I was constantly crying, sweaty palms, heart palpitations were getting much worse. My husband was starting to get really worried about me.

Day 12—I can’t even sleep through the night any more. I was waking up every half hour on the hour. Finally I would give up and start my day at 2am. By the time 8am rolled around, my children could not wait to get out of the house away from me.

-My parents try to get me to go to the emergency room. Still very weepy and getting worse.

Day 14—From this day on I get worse and worse, shutting myself into the house and not wanting to talk to anyone. Every time I tried to say something, a lump would form in my throat and I would begin to cry uncontrollably.

-No sleep, irritability, heart palpitations were at the max and I seriously had thoughts of killing myself. My husband kept a close watch on me until the night of the 16th day. He then got so tired of seeing how torn up I was.

-My complexion was pasty grey, my eyes were dazed looking. I couldn’t eat and as I said, the lump was always there. I finally went in that night and the doctor put me on paxil right away, not before they gave me a healthy dose of ativan to calm me down.

Two days later, when the paxil was circulating throughout my body, I was back to normal. This was just a run down of the hell that I endured. I would never wish this on my worst enemy. Hopefully my personal story will help any of you out there that are contemplating going cold turkey. Don’t do it! Until the next time dear readers, stay safe and take care of yourself and your loved ones!

It is a sad fact to face indeed but it is one fact that we must face. Mankind is not as strong as it once was, we have become weakened by our own actions. We take on too much at a time and we want too much so we tend to work hard to get everything that we have dreamed of only to spend the rest of our lives worrying that we will lose it.

This is why so many of us have had to be medicated. It is sad indeed to admit that almost ¼ of the worlds population is in a medicated state. The topic of today’s article is the medication known as Paxil.

We will be discussing the pros and lord knows that there are many great things about it but there is also a dark side that not many people know about, maybe the only people who have seen that dark side are the ones who have had to stop taking this wonder pill known as paxil.

Maybe it was your own choice or that of your doctor, but when it is the doctor who decides that you should be ending your relationship with Paxil he/she is smart enough to do it the safe way and that is to be slowly weaned off of it.

Many people don’t understand this, they think that they can just quit cold turkey and not have any adverse reactions. Unfortunately, these people are dead wrong. Now, there are those who think that Paxil is only prescribed for people who are depressed. That is a common misconception.

While this is indeed a treatment for depression and the main reason why it was made, it is also used as a treatment option for anxiety and anxiety attacks as well. Bet there are many of you out there right now who are shaking their heads in disbelief.

The main problem is that when a person starts to take this drug in the hopes of ending their problems with anxiety, they never really stop to think of the day when they will have to stop taking this medication.

I should state from this point on that I am in NO WAY, shape or form putting down this product. Paxil has been a saving grace to many, many people out there who have had moderate to severe depression as well as moderate to severe anxiety.

I know this because I am speaking from experience, the next article in this series will discuss the side effects of stopping the medication on your own. This is not recommended as I have been through the hell it can cause.

It is recommended that if you are on this medication and you wish to stop, you are advised to do so with your doctor’s help. This medication is very serious as it deals with certain brain activities and should not be stopped without your doctors help.

See the following article for my personal experience of the nightmare that I went through while trying to stop on my own. Stay tuned folks, it will be a bumpy ride!

He prescribed some medication to calm me down but I stopped taking them as I feared I would become addicted or have bad side effects.

Sometimes at night I would wake with anxiety and every morning as I got up, I would check to see how anxious I felt in my stomach- The one thing always on my mind was “am I going to have a panic attack today”. Along with this I began to have thoughts that scared me like I might go crazy and do something totally out of character in public or with the people close to me.

I was so wound up I started to loose confidence in my own ability to control my own life. It influenced a lot of decisions I made for the next three years. Holidays, nights out, work trips all were influenced by this nagging fear of anxiety. Driving also started to become difficult as I feared getting stuck in traffic or at red lights and if I had a panic attack I wouldn’t be able to operate the car. I felt helpless.

This however is a letter of hope. I am writing this to let others who might be experiencing something similar that I found a way out of my anxiety. I found the Panic Away program on the internet and was initially suspect of buying it as I had not heard of it before. I took a chance and downloaded the e-book. As I read it I felt Mr Barry was speaking directly to me. He knew exactly what I was going through and outlined a way to move out of the anxiety with a technique he calls the One Move.

This approach has made a world of difference. I applied the technique each morning (when I usually experienced worst anxiety) and immediately noticed a difference. Something was changing – it is hard to describe, like a light going on – It felt like I was not running away form the fear anymore. Several weeks passed without significant anxiety and then I slowly dared to do things I was avoiding – driving on my own, flying on my own, lots of stuff on my own where before I need someone with me. One year later here I am writing this email feeling 100% better. I now do not fear anxiety creeping back because I have moved beyond it. That is what this book and technique has taught me.

I look back on the time spent in anxiety as a very troublesome but now worthwhile experience. I learnt more about myself than ever before and I learnt that I have all the resources within me to deal with this, I just needed someone to guide me. I am writing this in the hope that it might ring home with even just one person who is a similar place as to where I was when I felt down and trapped in fear.
