Is There Really A Cure For Panic Attacks or Is That A Myth?

A panic attack is an awful experience as it is, but to have a full-blown attack of panic will seem to confirm your worst fears. You think you are dying, you think people are looking at you and you think that you are less than you need to be or should be. I spend a lot of time for searching for the one big “How to Cure Panic Attacks” and let me clear the suspense for you here…I haven’t found just one that works in total, but rather a combination of positive lifestyle changes has helped me to rid myself of most of my panic and get on with my days as worry-free as a writer lives his life.

Immediately after experiencing a panic attack you will certainly begin looking for a cure. I spent time looking for a cure online where it was the most convenient for me.  Being socially phobic kind of limits you to certain types of activities. There is no legitimate cure for panic attack although the symptoms can be diminished instantly by using certain types of medications. Some are fast-acting like benzodiazpanes but could be potentially habit forming. Others take a greater time to work and adjust the doses these are most know as anti-depressants. The most common family of anti-depressants are SSRIs which are said to replace the serotonin levels in your brain which phsycologist and nuerologists often attribute to anxiety and depression.

I personally tried SSRIs and MAOIs with little result and I felt I needed a more immediate solution. Panic is something that strikes without warning and comes quickly. When I felt like that I needed something to calm me down.  Generally I am completely against pills but after taking pills I realized that sometimes they may be necessary, and it’s not your fault. For years I struggled with finding the right medication. At one point I was even unable to work so I lost all health coverage and I was saving money to go to my Primary care doctor who eventually made things worse for me by prescribing a nervous system stimulant. A stimulant to a panic sufferer equaled more sleepless nights and stress.

So if you are looking for information on how to cure panic attacks look closely at your lifestyle first and make small changes to help yourself.  In one of my previous posts I talked about my 5 ways to fight Panic and these are the 5 things I really try to live by. There are also a few online courses which claim to have helped cure others but there degree of panic may be more or less than your own.  Just like an obese person doesn’t often become a bodybuilder within months, you will likely not be able to cure your disorder in a few short months.

I base my writings off of personal experience and everyone’s experience is different. To this day I still feel socially phobic most of the time but it’s always on the days when I do the things I know that I can’t and I ignore my overall mental heath. Just like physical health we must learn to condition our minds to think correctly and see life outside of the walls of stress. I’m curious if others have had experience with severe panic disorder and have had actually found out how to cure panic attacks rather than just managing the symptoms.
