Thanx a Mil for such an Inspiring Story of success, And a great knowledgeable resource for people suffering from Anxiety & Panic Attacks !!!
But do you still follow the Buteyko exercise, Chamomile tea drinking & other healing practices everyday ??
Hey what's up? Since I do not have anxiety anymore, I don't drink chamomile unless it's late at night or need to relax. I drink more green tea, black tea, coffee and other herbal teas now since I do not need to reduce anxiety anymore. I think herbs for thicker hair is probably what I need now. haha Usually I just drink water now. Buteyko exercises I do occasionally, but should do them more as it is good for health, but I always focus on breathing through my nose and try and never overbreathe. I have taken the Eastern Essential Calm and Relaxed remedy I have left over for general stress management and well being. But really, I do nothing now to heal anxiety since I simply don't have it anymore. There is nothing I need to do now to keep it under control. I've moved past it.Quote:

EXCELLENT!!! Fully Recommended! This book saved me... What book saved you? :)
Good Post, thank you
Very encouraging post, thank you. I've been in a state since April. Don't get panic ''attacks'' as such, just a complete wash of dread and despair which makes my heart race and sweats. I'm in a constant state of what feels like shock, and feel like I'm losing my identity, the world and my life just feels so different. Anyway, gonna try a few things you have suggested, namely the magnesium. I will beat this thing.
Happy New Year everyone! Good to see so many new people posting :)
Can i just ask... what are TEA forms?
wow im so proud and happy to read this!! it gives people like me so much hope!!! Thanks a hole heap! :)
[QUOTE=PanicCured;36147]UPDATE- May 22, 2013:
"Benzos are incredibly addicting. I know. I became hooked on Klonopins."
1st off, this was a great read. Thank you for taking the time to post! I am looking forward to an anxiety/panic/med free life such as yours.
How long were you taking Klonopin and how bad was the "tapering off" period?
I have been taking 3mg Klonopin (or the generic clonazepam) daily since 1988.
At this point I haven't a clue as to whether or not my tolerance is so high that it is doing nothing for my anxiety/panic and I am just feeding an adiction!
I doknow that the Klonopin doesn't have the great effects that it had in years past.
Thanks for any imput.
[QUOTE=Richaf;210550]I am not a doctor but I will give you my opinions. Your brain is addicted to Klonopins. You have been consuming 3 mg since 1988. My guess is you are getting very little from it besides maintaining your addiction. If you stopped taking them for 1 week you would most likely go into withdrawal. In which, you will just go pop another 3 mg.Quote:

What you would do is get a razor blade and cut a tiny portion off. I am not sure the exact amount to take off, but I will give you an example and you can find the best amount.
Example: So lets say 1 pills 3 mg, cut into 1/4 which would be .75 mg. Cut that into 4ths. Take that piece out. That's about .18 mg. Take the rest of the pill minus that tiny portion. Do this for about 2 weeks so your stable. If you get some serious withdrawal you may have cut too much so maybe do even less of a taper.
Let's say .18 mg worked, Then take 2 .18 mg pieces off and go 2 weeks.
The 3 pieces and go 2 weeks. Keep doing this until you get to a small portion and then you do the jump. How small? Maybe like .10 mg or something.
Now since 1988, a .18 mg cut every 2 weeks may be too much. I would start cutting with less.
This is an example, but you see the process. There is simply no way to not feel like shit and to not get withdrawal symptoms, but this method will reduce is greatly so you go through some discomfort, but it won't be hardcore.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply.
My new primary care physician is not thrilled that I am popping 6 x .5 mg of klonopin a day and asked me to consider other options, so I will talk to him about getting off of it.
I will also check out Benzo Buddies!
Wow ! That was good
has anyone tried to use natural cure for anxiety?

Thanks for taking the time to write it all, it's really useful!
Nice post! It'll help many guys...
I love how you put together a systematic way for overcoming panic disorder. I am also a recovered agoraphobe (over 20 years free) and did many of the things you employed in your recovery. I worked for 17 years as a mental health social worker after I recovered and then wrote a book - Un-Agoraphobic - on amazon. I am amazed at how similar our approaches are for getting out of prison. I hope many have and will read your suggestions, for they are the right-on path to defeating panic attacks. I maintain a facebook page - unagoraphobic - to pass along suggestions and tips to folks with panic disorder. I'd love to link your article to that page, but want to ask permission first. You have a conversational, inviting style of writing that really brings the reader along. I hope to hear from you... best wishes, Hal Mathew
I'm a recovering alcoholic. Is there any alcohol on any of these supplements?
There's a lot of Claire Weekes stuff in the original post I thought.
Wonderful post! Great information to understand anxiety symptoms and helpful to find your own power to fight with.
I'm on b complex.. I'll try stopping it for a week and see what happems
Great info, thanks1
I am coping with anxiety with the Natural pen. It has been a God Send.
I got tired of the "happy pills" and knew there had to be a all natural remedy for anxiety.

thanks for sharing
Man the spam is here!
What an outstanding thread. I myself have not had a panic attack in 11 years and my anxiety is in check 99% of the time. Many of your methods I notice I used to overcome and also have some of my own that helped me. Maybe with your permission I can add in what I did, or maybe3 I should start my own thread on how I over came. What would be the best way? Either way great thread and congrats
Thanks for the share PanicCured
All members of the forum should read this :)

Thanks for this post. I used to black out during public speeches. Especially during work. The panic was unbearable and I thought I wouldn't be able to continue living my life as a successful female lawyer. I was on medication but it made me feel weird so now I use Mantra Magnets. They're earrings you clip on that vibrate as a neuro therapy tool and reset your amygdala. I love them! They really help. Now when I public speak, I'm focused on the vibrating instead of the panic.
Do you think they can help me cure my anxiety?Quote:

The power of belief is in indeed a very powerful thing. It can be as healing as it can be destructive. What looks like total BS to one person can be totally real to another. I say whatever works man.
True that!
I wonder why they're called mantra magnets? Do they vibrate "Om Mani Padme Hum" over and over again in Morse code?
Of course they do. You just need a finely tuned heart to hear them. :) BUT definitely not Morse Code, more like distinctive intuition that brings about a sense of peace through heart felt knowing. Like crystals, the magnets are more like a amplified receiver/transmitter where those using them practice the art of tuning in like someone clearing the static that's typical on an old crystal set radio back in the days of WWII. Once you clear the static and find the right frequency you receive the code, or in this case; the vibes. Perceiving the vibes is totally subject to the user's intention and state of being.
Of course that's just my take. Does that make sense to you? I use a singing bowl, but have considered using crystals and now that I think about it ... magnets may very well be an option to. Bio electric fields of individuals are affected by many things. Especially in today's world of massive amounts of projected radio waves and like radiation all over the planet 24/7. Being out of sync via processed, plastic and constituted foods not to mention medications also greatly reduce a users ability to tune in to their own bodies let alone picking up vibes from the likes of crystals and magnets.
The latter of the above brings back into perspective just how far the power of belief can go Vs the degenerative state of most peoples body this day and age. In short, most of today's life style choices keep the majority of peoples bodies out of sync from it's natural state. The body and mind affect the spirit. So it is crystals and magnets can only do so much. Most of the power is within ... but only accessed when all other elements are finely balanced. OR at least well cultivated to some degree.
In some sense whilst the placebo affect of belief may work in the short term ← (something I myself utilize often), sustained long term gains come from first working on the body and mind before engaging on aids primarily meant for finely tuned states of being.
... and then ... after all that ... you have to be wise enough to decode the message that comes in. lol :) narrrrr ... if your thinking like that, you'll never feel the vibrations to begin with.
I'm off to go get burnt like a crisp. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/su...y-emoticon.gif
Adios. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/fi...ir-on-fire.gif
I think it's the vibrations more than the magnets that really help to just make me feel mindful and in the moment so that my stress melts away. I'm telling everyone about them they have truly been a miracle for my anxiety and panic disorder.
Good thread! A lot of value here :)
Thank you for this post, it helps just by reading about it :)
Thank you!
I have learned a few techniques to deal with the social anxiety and stress associated with public speaking.
1. Recognize that stress or social anxiety is a natural reaction. Tell yourself this is to be expected and many presenters, even after years of presenting, still get the jitters. It’s OK.
2. Front it. If you are nervous sometimes it is best to tell your audience, “I am really nervous;” It’s OK. Remember, your audience wants you to succeed and they will understand. So let them know; they will smile back to make you comfortable and that alone often helps.
3. Prior to going on stage drink water. Anxiety causes our mouths to dry so you want to be hydrated and have water available on stage—just in case.
4. Stretch before going on stage. I often see professional speakers stretch their neck forward and back as well as side-to-side and this helps them to deal with their anxieties. Others will open their mouth really wide several times—they tell me that helps. Others move their shoulders up, hold, then lower them slowly. Each person has his or her own go-to favorites—see what works best for you.
5. Try the push away—it is easy to do and one of my favorites. Stand about two feet away from a wall and do push-aways much as you would do a push-up. Five quick push-aways is often just enough to lessen anxiety.
6. Our subconscious deals with threats or potential issues so often we tend to focus on those in the audience that seem unhappy, displeased, or disinterested with our presentation. Override this survival instinct by forcing yourself to focus only on friendly faces—even if there is just one in the room—that will go a long way to help you relax. Once you find one then look for another and skip the unhappy or those that are disinterested—they are needless distractions.
7. We spend all day pacifying ourselves by engaging in hand to body touching (rubbing our nose, touching our faces, rubbing our hands together, biting our lips, etc.). When we are stressed we do more of these things (blink rate also goes up, hand-wringing, hand massaging, playing with wedding bands, etc.) and on stage these can be very distracting. Acknowledge to yourself that you do these things and that it is normal. On stage repeat to yourself, “I will still do these things, only this time I will do them more slowly and gently.” You still get to have your favorite security blanket/pacifying behavior—it just won’t be as distracting.
8. Learn to accept that the stage is your friend. It is there for your benefit: to focus attention, to reach a broader audience, or to enhance your presentation—it is not your enemy. Reframe your thinking—it will reduce your anticipatory stress level.
9. If you still find yourself struggling on stage, take a deep breath and exhale really slowly, longer than you would normally exhale—repeat if needed. Don’t hesitate to let the audience know this is hard for you—they understand and will admire you for trying.
10. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. I often find great speakers in the green room quietly rehearsing outloud the same lines they have delivered many times. Why? Because it helps them to relieve stress and they can hear that all familiar voice; their own voice, and that alone helps them to calm down.
