I have had panic attacks for years and now cannot work, almost can't drive. I am on 3 mg. Xanax per day which makes me just okay enough to not go insane. Now at night, i'm getting mini attacks all nite long and I also get night drenches due to periomenopause. My fear upon fears is that the xanax is my life savior (and mind), yet i'm becoming immune to the dose. If this is happening, what is gonna happen to me in the years to come. I get so anxious I cannot even talk...I kinda freeze up. I can't afford high end herbals or anything much since I can't work. Please reply and thanks for listening

Hi there. Yea one of the best thing to do about anxiety is work on it throught the day. Start with something relaxing when you wake up to start your day off....

For me when I was in the most depressave stages of my life I was alwasy very anxious in the mornings becuase I knew I would just drag myself down thoughout the day. So I found some lotion that has lavender and camiliea(sp?) in it. It has a super relaxing smell and I never knew I liked lavendar. Well every morning after a shower I put this on in front of the mirror and just enjoy the moment...Even if its for a few seconds.

I make sure I have time to do this in the morning....Every morning.

This is just one thing ive done to help myself without being on meds. It takes a very long time to figure ourselfs out but once you start its easy to keep going. Try new things....Small things like I said above. I mean putting lotion on in the morning isint that big of a deal....But 2 me it ment I was gona have a good day.
