how do you treat an anxiety attack?


Question:
i've had 2 anxiety attacks in the lsat 3 days. iv had all the symptoms except for 2. do i need psychotherapy or can it be treated by medication?

Answers:
You need to find the reason for the anxiety and work on removing it. There are many triggers like heights, germs, elevators, people, cars etc. Find yours and then you can stare it in the face and try to overcome it. Small doses is best until you get comfortable with the problem.
Don't take meds unless you must. You will become dependant upon them.
There are groups out there to help remove your phobias and you can find them on the internet. They work with you for a week or so and when you are done the phobia is gone.
I was always fearful of heights. I have pushed myself to confront them by standing in high places, visiting the grand canyon, walking on bridges and I have found it helps toughen me up. It is only when I stay away from heights do I get fearful again.
Don't let this control your life you can conquer it. And the sooner the better.
you can get an anti anxiety med like buspar and such. when you feel one coming you remember to breath in and out slowly and put your head between your legs. stay still and stay calm.
