Some people are concerned about taking anti-anxiety medication when Coping With Panic Attacks. When’s the last time you’ve read or heard in the news of a death of a Hollywood star from overdosing on anti-anxiety or antidepressants? Reports reveal that prescription medication has been linked to thousands of fatalities yearly. This may be due to overdosing or wrong diagnosis.
The problem with anxiety medication is that it only treats Anxiety Symptoms and not the cause of it. People also worry of the possible side effects of medication and that they may become addicted. Medicines that are prescribed hold the same risks as street drugs and should be taken with precaution.
Medication might initially help in Controlling panic attacks but in the long term they will lose effectiveness. Some sufferers, in an attempt to regain the initial effects of medication, up the dose. Sometimes this is even down to the doctor’s advice. Mixing different types of medication also poses as a danger.
Men who suffer from anxiety disorders are more likely to drink alcohol as a means in coping with panic attacks and anxiety. This can be a lethal concoction when mixed with anxiety medication. Because anti-anxiety medication doesn’t tackle the real cause of anxiety, it cannot cure anxiety disorders.
Instead of using anxiety medication for controlling panic attacks, there are safer and more natural ways to deal with symptoms. EFT for example, is similar to acupressure or acupuncture. A person taps on specific points on the body to rebalance energy flow. This may sound like an odd remedy for treating anxiety. But remember that the mind and body are connected.
When a person experiences an anxiety attack, they describe the symptoms or sensations that they felt. The nausea, the tingling, the shortness of breath, the chest pains and so on. The triggers however are psychological, such as fear, phobias and beliefs. It’s the mind that triggers these physical symptoms. The mind and body connection is more apparent when we experience stress and anxiety.
Meridian therapies such as Emotional Freedom Technique and acupuncture are helpful in controlling panic attacks. Other techniques such as hypnotherapy and NLP can help in changing behaviors and habits. Also, lifestyle changes and looking after your physical health has a major impact on mental health. Just by eating well and doing physical exercise regularly can have a dramatic affect on mood.
Changing the way you think and behave is also important for getting over anxiety. Your negative beliefs and worries drive anxiety. By working on changing your physical and mental state, you can become much more happy. People who set goals and work to achieve them are happier people. Learn something new and get your mind working for your success.
Connecting with other people is a great way to relieve anxiety and stress and grow more confident. Read self help books and learn to take control of your emotions so that you can be the boss of you. Make time to give yourself a break whether it be some light reading, a long bath, a walk in park, or watching a movie. Follow a good routine to help in coping with panic attacks and anxiety; avoid stress, worry and excessive intake of stimulants.
