Hello, [HELPme]
Theres a lot of different kind of meds used for Anxiety like Antidepressants,
Benzodiazepines, SNRIs, SSRIs etc,. I tried all of them and the one that worked best for me was the Benzodiazepines(Valium and Xanax)
**Everyone reacts to different medications in are own way.
Id' advise you to talk with your docter about Valium, good for panic attacks and might help with your muscle spasms. Keep in mind benzos do hold a reputation of dependence.
I hope this helped and that everything works out great!

I can identify with your problem.First of all you can get help without insurance through your local mental health administator (look in the yellow pages)There are ways ... even without insurance to get help.I have suffered from panic attacks,depression and anxiety for 20 years.I have tried all the herbal treatments and they are a waste of money.I am currently taking a combination of strattera(60mg)and remeron(45 mg).I have no insurance for the medicines at all and a very,very limited insurance plan.The strattera cost around $200 a month but I applied to Lilly pharm. for help and get my medicine free.The remeron is very inexpensive($43 a month).I am helped greatly by this combination of drugs.You need to invest your time into getting assistance..it's out there if you press hard for it.I know how frustrating this is because i've lived the nightmare of panic atacks and depression nearly all my life.Hang in there and seek out help.God bless you and My prayers are with you as you find relief.Just do'nt give up.

Hi, I think you should go to a health food store and ask if they have anything that will help you deal with the anxiety and panic attacks. I suffer from both and I really do understand how you feel. I have to take xanax when I get them. I see a doctor so I am monitored . I am also weening off effexor. I think you should try to see a doctor, even if you don't have insurance because it is very hard to deal with this stuff on your own. Try also breathing, Take deep breaths when you feel an attack coming on. They do help me. I wish I could give you more help. Also I notice when I know an attack is coming on, if I start thinking of other thing to get my mind off the attack, anything, like I need to count numbers or start reading or try to get yourself out of the melt down, that is what I call them. I am here if you need to talk. My prayers are with you. You may want to start keeping a journal and write down when the attacks happen and how many you are getting.

Yes this is very difficult dealing with specially when your career is to be an excellent troubleshooter and you can't even think staight as far as mentally stable. The thing is 80% of my life I am going out for certifications and taking numerous types of exams that cause Anxiety and that intend to give your average person not suffering from Anxiety, Anxiety so what to do Pray and excersise daily but funny that makes sometimes worse. One of my worse symptoms are when Im sitting in class and I feel like someone choking my neck considerably blocking air circulation and breathing is almost immposible its like I forgt how to breathe and then my heart skips beats then quickly thumps faster and then slows SCARY But I have to get help everything is getting out of control...
