i get panic attacks alot and over the counter meds that help? no insurance and its costly?

Well, would you rather be poor or dead?

thats normal , try breathing in a brown paper bag. learn some breathing techniques they help alot. and smoke some herb every now and then it helps me.

Why don’t you have insurance?

Zanac is flippin great. And if you have no insurance it is very costly!

Try to make your breath slowly. Try. Try again.

You dont need insurance or money….there are many clinics you can go to that help people with financial problems…..Just look it up on the internet…..i got meds for free and therapy and everything i needed to help me out…..i had no insurance and no money……try that…its your best bet……there are no over the counter drugs to help with stuff like this.

Panic attacks are horrible – I had "panic disorder" for over 5 years. I was able to go to the doctor and they tried a bunch of stuff. The ONLY thing that worked for me was Xanax. I got addicted as I had to be on them so long. I got help to go off of them. But I swear, if the panic came back to me, I would go back to the Xanax because that is the only thing that works and Panic is HELL. I talked to someone and said the same thing "you feel like you’re going to die" and she (also had panic attacks) said "no, you KNOW you’re going to die" and her husband took her to the ER everytime. I had them about 3 times a day. I feel for you. See if there is a way you can see a doctor – health department or something? I don’t have insurance right now either and can’t get meds for high blood pressure either so I understand. But if you can, the Xanax will work. GOD BLESS YOU. I know what you are going through. I feel so bad for you.

Panic attacks can be Panic Attack Disorder which is treatable by using low dose antidepressants such as Zoloft or Paxil.Sometimes panic attacks can be a result or symptom of allergies to things such as food or even hay fever.
You might try over the counter preps such as Sudafed which is inexpensive and does not make you sleepy.Be careful though to read the package instructions and if you have high blood pressure or thyroid disease use something else.

You know what I started gettin panic attacks and instead of getting medicine for it i took up yoga it really helps and you learn how to control it when you feel your starting to have one. i starting getting one when we were driving on our vacation and took deep breathes well as deep as i could lol and a glass of water and i found my center pretty quick plus i had to i was driving. so i would take up yoga.

I use to have them bad & I found out that when my sodium,magnesium,potassium, or chloride level gets low I have them. I looked it up & it said that if these levels are low that panic attacks are one of the symptoms. When you get your levels checked make them give you copies of your levels. If your levels are just one # away from being low the doctor will still tell you that your levels are normal. When mine are just one # away from low I start having symptoms. Are you a Christian? If so email me at Wiljul07@yahoo.com & I will tell you a little about what to do during panic attacks. God bless & good luck !

I have a friend who gets these drops that you put under your tongue and they are made from herbs and alcohol. It is a stress and panic attack reliever she gets them from any health food store. They work I tried them they work, her brother’s wife died and we were at the funeral and he started hyperventilating and she put those drops under his tongue and he started to calm down. but if you have them often then go to the free clinic or ask a pharmacist at a drug store what is good for panic attacks.

You need to go and be seen by a Dr. first of all…
Than talk about possible drugs, you might need to learn breathing, and relaxation methods…
Dr. might have samples of things.
Might have you go holistic
Yoga is a good answer like someone mentioned, becareful
do not mess around dear.

i have been having panic attacks for years. they are terrible, i sympathize with you! my doc put me on xanax, its the only thing that helps me. as far as having no health insurance, i don’t know where you are from but many places have help for people with no insurance. maybe call around and see if there is any help from anyone. i know here the generic form of xanax costs about 20.00 for 90 pills and 50.00 for the doc visit. i really hope you find some help, from someone who understands a panic attack completely! they took over my life! if you ever need to chat about it you can instant message me on yahoo under this id.
