Hi gilly! I hope you are having a wonderful day! Thank you for the reply. I have heard alot about the rescue remedy,but I have never given it a shot. I wasn't sure if it really worked. I will certainly pick some up today! I always seem to go into this weird dreamy, out of it state of derealization when the attacks go on for weeks, its like my brain just "checks out" for a bit and goes into the derealization state. very scary feeling! Thank you very much for the advice I will look for the rescue remedy today!

Hi everyone. i've been dealing with panic attacks for anumber of years now. For 4 of those years I was on Klonopin. My Dose was increasing and increasing,soI decided last summer to get off of the Klonopin. It took me 6 LOOONG months to taper off of the benzo. It Sucked pretty bad. Anyhow, after the benzo withdrawal had settled down I felt pretty good in about 6 months or so, give or take a few months. Then around Christmas time my panic attacks came back with a VENGENCE! I began having what I call "Rolling panic attacks" in which I will have an attack that last for an hour or so, then another one and another one etc etc this goes on for DAYS, where I have them back to back all day long. When I get an attack I CANNOT sit still, I end up pacing all over my house,outside, I will jump in and out of showers trying to calm down. Of course nothing seems to work. Then as quick as the attacks begin,they will go away for weeks. I will feel totaly normalfor weeks and weeks, then again,they start up again and stay for WEEKS. When I was on the Klonopin I was fine. I just did not like being "addicted" to a medication to feel normal. I also did not like then fact that I had to keep increasing my dose. But this is HELL!!! The attacks are really wearing me down. I need advice. Anyone that deals with this without using medication, can you please give me some advice/tips on what works for you? Thank you Afterlife

Wow, thank you everyone!
