I’m working on recovering from anxiety and panic attacks. I have a strong knowledge about anxiety and panic attacks. The panic attacks are well under control. But I’m still working on the uncomfortable sensations and symptoms of anxiety. I insist not to be depended on medication. So I just want to have an idea on others to know how long does it usually take to be recovered without medication.
Thanks for all the response in advance

Product Description
Millions of people are prescribed medication for anxiety and panic everyday. One of the most common medications prescribed are tranquilizers which can be addictive and habit-forming. Many individuals may wish to discontinue their medication for various reasons. Some have been free of anxiety symptoms for some time and feel they no longer need meds. Women may wish to become pregnant and others may suffer from bothersome side effects. Whatever the reason, weaning off anxiety medications can be extremely difficult. This Workbook, in conjunction with the corresponding Therapist Guide, outlines a treatment program for helping individuals discontinue their medication. This evidence-based treatment incorporates the basic principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is also effective for treating the underlying Panic Disorder itself.
This revised edition of the Workbook teaches the skills necessary to help individuals wean off their medicine through the use of cognitive restructuring techniques, along with exposure to panic and anxiety sensations. New to this edition is a reorganized Chapter 2 that places the core emphasis on the role of fears of anxiety sensations in enhancing the difficulties associated with stopping medication, and a section on discontinuing the use of antidepressants. Blank logs are included for keeping track of homework assignments, as well as for monitoring progress.

I’m 16 with a pretty bad case of social anxiety. My mom has agreed to use medication, though she is alittle hesitant because of repots that this type of medication gives suicidal thoughts to people under 18.
I’ve been to therapy and though it gave me some good pointers that I use everyday to help me through the social part of my social anxiety, it doesn’t get rid of that “worried” filling that I can sometimes feel continuously. That feeling actually consumes my whole mood at times. The therapy has only helped with talking to people, and even then it has only helped alittle.
But I would like to know more about this type of medication before I actually take it. I’m sure my doctor will tell me some stuff too, but how does it actually work? How will it make me feel better?

I am currently on Paxil and I know that is harmful to the baby while pregnant. I would like to start trying for a family with my husband, but currently really do need the anxiety medication. Anyone else take anything while they were pregnant or know someone who did?
Just a little added info, the source of my anxiety came when I started having horrific back pain. I have scoliosis and living w/ the pain, put me on edge and I started having issues w/ anxiety.

I’m waiting for an appointment with a doctor but i was wondering what kind of anti-anxiety medications work for others? I usually won’t take any medications because everything makes my stomach hurt but my panic disorder has gotten so bad that i can’t take it anymore. I have tried hypnosis and therapy and a few medications when i was younger but nothing works. I would appreciate anything you have found that helps and what the side effects were. Thanks.
