Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Encrypted asked:

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.

I went to the doctor about two weeks ago for anxiety and insomnia and he just gave me something for sleeping. Last night I had a panic attack and for about 2 hours after my heart was still beating rapidly and taking deep breaths were hard. Since the dumb dumb doctor won’t give me anything to help what can I do to to calm myself down when I can feel one coming on or to stop it when it happens. I normally just try to take deep breaths but it doesn’t help, what can I do?
