What is the best treatment?
I get really bad panic attacks, like when driving or going to class and I can’t control them. it’s really getting to be bothersome and is very stressful.
I keep hearing that controling your breathing is helpful. But when I get an attack, I can’t breathe. Already I have fainted in class because I couldn’t breathe and I got lightheaded.
I have been doing research about what over the counter medications I could use for anxiety. And I have been coming across quite a few sites that mention benadryl to relieve anxiety and panic attacks, which I know are brought on by anxiety. I also called a local pharmacy, and the lead pharmacist’s also mentioned that many people use benadryl for anxiety and insomnia. I am unable to get out and go see a doctor, and doctors here are unwilling to come to my home and help me with this anxiety. Which I think is bs.
But anyway, so I was just wanting input on what people on yahoo have to say about using benadryl for anxiety.
p.s. The pharmacist also mentioned trying Chlor-Trimeton.
Any thoughts, opinions and answers are welcome, especially from people who are taking benadryl for anxiety and/or panic attacks.
