[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 155370, member: 84"] Tina You've been under alot of stress, and your Dad passing away has compounded it. Now you're grieving along with the stress. It's no small wonder that you're having panic attacks. I know because I do the same thing. And it's awful. If you don't want to up your medications to keep your mind clear you're going to have to teach yourself to talk yourself through these panic attacks. Not at all easy at first, I know. But it can be done. I refuse to take anxiety medications because I can't think on them. And I have to think, remember, and be able to concentrate in school. So I've been having to do ALOT of talking myself out of a panic attack. Once I recognize that's what's happening, I tell myself that is what it is. That it [B]will[/B] pass. And I focus on calming myself down. Sometimes I'm repeating it over and over for up to 20 mins. for some of the worse ones, but it does work with practice. My psychiatrist helped get me started on learning how to deal with them without medications. Do you have a psychiatrist or therapist that can offer you some techniques to use so you won't have to increase your medications? It's worth a shot. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
