3. Ashwagandha works for anxiety for me.

Ginseng root supplement. I take anywhere from 125-500 mg a day, and am off my blood pressure meds now.

4. Yanicosco, I learned over time that "crashing blood sugar" (been there, done that, it's the most

AWFUL feeling) — crashing blood sugar can make a person shake and shiver and feel soooo out-of-control and sure, “panicky”. We can get in this state when eating sugar without also having some protein to keep our sugar levels up —-

I’m just throwing this out here, Y!! Sending best wishes!

6. Pot

7. It started giving me anxiety

around when I hit my 30’s. I was a pot snob when I did smoke, so am sure it’s not an indica vs sativa thing.
Makes me sad. I’d love to get high and feel the way I used to. The anxiety is *really* bad, though.

8. Sativa cheers you up.

10. Sativa doesn't make me sad,

not being able to smoke pot any more is what makes me sad. Lol!
Both types make me extremely anxious.

9. can try CBD

[Groundhawg]

11. I use whistlepig.

[Yanicosco]

12. Yikes! n/t

[Maraya1969]

15. I actually looked that up! For others it is alcohol

[msongs]

13. smallish brown paper bag. blow into it for a few breaths really, not kidding

what I did when used to have panic attacks. does a co2 oxygen thing and gives one something to focus on besides the attack. not medical advice btw

[Maraya1969]

16. You don't even need a bag. I did this treatment for asthma years ago where you blow out all your air

and try to hold it. I noticed a good side effect of anxiety leaving.

14. Def c a dr

There are some they may prescribe based on your situation

[Mossfern]

17. First I try to ground myself

and think about reality, breathing exercises...in through nose for count of four, hold for count of seven, and slowly out through mouth for a count of eight (all counts approximate). If that doesn't work, my doc prescribed a small dose of xanax.

I'm doing neuro feedback now and my panic attacks are greatly reduced.
