panick attack, does it sound familiar for you?
I know there has been some threads about it, but it's getting worse for me. Who has valium here for me?

press your eyeballs real hard with your thumbs. Sounds crazy but it works.

Used to get them. I was using a bunch of shit for working out and losing weight (pre-workout drink, post-workout drink, creatine, protein shake, etc). Doctor said I may have a chemical imbalance. No shit, but I never thought of that. Said to stop taking all of that stuff and see what happens. I also deal with stress a lot (ie advertising deadlines, working for yourself, etc)...another big factor for panic attacks. So I stopped taking the workout stuff, a couple of months go by, never get them again. Might be different for you but if you're putting chemicals into your body that you really don't need (ie coffee,caffeinne, crack), maybe try just stopping all of that for a while and seeing if that fixes it. Panic attacks suck big time. Thought I was having a heart attack one time, brought me to the ground, sweating, couldn't figure out what the F was going on with my brain. Crazy shit.

caffeine does it to me... never used to though. Definitely stress / psych related.

Valium? Are you not sleeping?
A friend of mine started getting panic attacks once in while then over time it escalated to the sad point in which he is now unable to leave the house and has had to leave his job.You've got to get a hold of this before it gets a hold of you. If you're not diseased then the cause is most probably related to diet and exercise, take a blood test to check for a vitamin or mineral deficiency and have a look at forms of stress release like yoga or meditation so you have the knowledge to control it when it happens.
Also, avoid excitotoxins at all costs. ie. aspartame, MSG, HVP etc not only are they highly toxic but they will chemically prevent you from recovering.

I suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for a few years in my early/mid twenties. You got to distinguish between the two, because it seems what you are calling a panic attack is merely anxiety. I was prescribed medication for anxiety when it was at it's worse. Can't remember what it was called but it was basically a very mild sedative; a small white chewable that I carried around with me and took whenever the need arose.
I've only ever had three "real" panic attacks... the first on a plane (though not related to fear of flying). Someone mentioned lack of sleep... leading up to that first attack I hadn't slept for several days. Just waves of anxiety that I couldn't control. The second attack I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was having a heart attack. I tried to get up to get help, fell over and knocked my head. The third and last attack (so far) happened in the ocean while I was surfing... purely caused by the situation (but the fact that I'm susceptible to anxiety didn't help). Got caught inside, lost my board and took seven 6' waves on the head.

Xanax

I have pretty bad anxiety at times, I have no idea why. Only had a real panic attack a couple times though. Just genetic I guess, my mom also had it. It's very common.
Sometimes my blood pressure will go up for seemingly no reason and ill start getting heart palpitations. I have to take Xanax to try and keep it under control. Definitely helps. Others take Valium.

i had a stretch of a couple of weeks where i suffered from them, and my sympathies go to you. as others have mentioned, understanding that it's psychological and physiological is a big deal. for me, i had to get rid of what was causing them — i.e. the shitty job i had at the time. other things like working out have helped me tremendously as well. best of luck.

i was visiting my doctor, and he gave me that, said that the only thing i can have and otherwise i need to change my life completely, to recover from that. and if not to change my life, then there are different pills like neuroleptics and antidepressive pills which has to be taken for a year. i choose change my lifestyle.
