I have an anxiety disorder. The severity of this disorder fluctuates depending on stress, relationships, etc, but has been moderate to severe before. I have already sought advice from a doctor. I know there are several prescriptions to treat anxiety, but what are sime other methods to help ease my anxiousness.

my sister gets panic attacks.

lately, she has been getting them to where she will shake uncontrollably.it wont be like convulsions or anything…more like full body shivers if she was cold but she isnt, just having a panic attack.

anyways, she wants to know if any physical harm can come out of this? it usually lasts about 5 minutes and then the panic attack goes away.

its seems like her panic attack symptoms have changed as she has learned how to control them (when she didnt know how to control them she would panic and make it worse then she would basically get up and start pacing and panicking, now she will lay in bed and try to calm down still feeling nauseas but is getting shakes)

they will usually happen to her at night when her anxiety is usually higher but not in the day time.her anxiety is always worse at nigth and she has no clue why.
she doesent want to go on prescriptions or go to a doctor.i tried to convince her but she refuses.

I personally don’t want to be doped up on prescription medications… Those are chemically altered drugs and are far more dangerous than marijuana… So i must ask… Is marijuana a legitimate way to calm down a person’s mind when they are having a panic episode in which they are having trouble staying still, having thousands of thoughts rushing through their head at one time, and having trouble maintaining a stable breathing pattern? It seems that since i started smoking weed when it happens, i’m much calmer… of course a big hit will make me hardly able to stand but it does relieve my stress… and don’t get onto me with this "drugs are bad" routine… marijuana is a plant, not a drug… unlike some prescriptions… and i live in a med-weed state… so is it an approved method to treat high spectrum autistic panic attacks with weed?
it stops my hyper-ventilating, shakes and twitches, and the flood of thoughts… it puts me in the here and now…. i don’t do it to get high… i do it to calm my mind….
cathy… it CAN… does not mean it WILL… besides it actually stops the stuff… and it’s actually calming down… i don’t even smoke to get high… of course i do anyways XD but still… it stops my panic… and i am starting to panic less and less… in fact i only smoke about a bowl or two a month… tops…
choco… you obviously don’t understand asperger’s syndrome…
DAMN IT!! sheesh… please at least talk from a standpoint at which you look at my case to see what i’m trying to get at? i just want to know if from what you see, is this helpful… i’ve done all the meditation and i’ve done prescriptions… none of it works… but this does….
star… how can you say it didn’t TRIGGER it? some people have the issue underlying until it’s brought to the surface somehow… that’s what happened to my ex… she had the makings for schizophrenia and didn’t show symptoms till she was 10… and that’s when something traumatic happened… it triggered her schizophrenia… so maybe marijuana can trigger underlying issues… and treat ones on the surface…

ok, so for about 2 months now, i have been randomly having small to medium (with about 2 large) anxiety attacks. ive only had 2 really big ones. i am 13. but when i was younger, i had epilepsy and had 1 grand mall seizure. the other seizures where just like, emotions raging, and like, puking but my stomach didnt hurt. in about 2nd grade. I was officially epilepsy free. and I have not had any grand mal seizures since. but my mom was talking to her phsycologist (or whatever the doctors that right prescriptions for like, depression are called) and he and my mom agreed that I should go visit my old brain doctor person. so my mom made an appointment. are these anxiety attacks possibly small seizures? thanks for your help ahead of time.

I have taken prescriptions for anxiety before, and hated the side effects of going off of them. I currently have dizzy spells, lightheadedness, the typical symptoms. Is it possible I could be depressed? Any advice would be great. Thanks
