I Have Had a Panic Attack

Allow me to try to offer you an idea that might help. After I was in a car accident my doctor gave me an Rx to help calm me. I can't recall the name but it was so strong my husband told me the next day... after taking one of the pills I almost immediately went OUT! He told me my face literally hit the plate on the table. So back to my doctor and asked for something more mild. My Husband was with me and explained my reaction to the tablet. She then figured I was simply sensitive to this Rx. And I asked if there were an alternative. Something over the counter, that would calm me when I felt another panic attack coming. Immediately she told me St. Johns Wort.

*the following is taken from the Internet.
St. Johns Wort does a lot more than just alleviate mood swings. Its a balancer, true, but it is also used in homeopathic medicine to alleviate joint pain.

Saint Johns Wort relieves pain, it has a sedative effect do to the fact it is a slight nervine, and it is used for treatment of neuralgia, anxiety and nervous tension. It can be applied as liniment or poultice to relieve pain, for treatment over the spine for relief of nervous diseases that are related to the spine, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatic pains, as a lotion for pain relief, eases bruises.

Saint Johns Wort is also known to be useful for pulmonary complaints (the release of phlegm in the lungs), bladder trouble, suppression of urine, dysentery, worms and nervous depression. The herb is an excellent treatment for chronic uterine problems and will correct irregular and painful menstruation. The herb also contains an alkaloid that is a heart and artery stimulant.

If you are using an anti-depressant and you would prefer to use Saint Johns Wort, check for contraindications (things you should not take with your medication), also consult with your physician.

I have used Saint Johns Wort as a mood balancer and to alleviate joint pain. I would recommend to ensure you use sunblock if you take it and are fair skinned, it does tend to cause slight photosensitivity in fairskinned people. It works well, without making you feel disconnected, foggy or unfocused like other drugs seem to.

Your siblings are heartless aholes.....hope you get the help you need🙂

Sigh. I Know exactly how you feel and I'm not just saying that.

oh, just in case, it's chemistry also, do not forget that.

(many have had good assistance because they're looking into both the mental and physical.)

also, to boot, genetics plays a huge role.

How they are treating you is wrong it has much more to say about them then you. Anyone would have a hard time living in that type of environment. Is their anyway you could move out of there?
