Hello everyone!

Lately, I have strong and frequent panic attacks. I dont know what to do! I had them 4 years ago, and everything was great until two months ago. They are back and they are harassing me. I feel so tired and scared and exhausted, and I am full of fears.

In the past I was taking Xanax and Zoloft...but I have to say that those pills didnt help me..and my doctor didnt change them. Yes...

Now, I am wondering, does anyone have some experience with homeopathy?? I was reading about Aconite and Argentum Nitricum...
Apparently, it should help. Or maybe someone knows something else??

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!!
Kind regards from Croatia

Hi, welcome to the group. There is also an anxiety forum here that tends to get a bit more activity. If you want to check it out here is the link http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Panic_Attacks/forum/17700231-panic-attack-and-homeopathy#addcomment_anchor

I have not had any experience with Homeopathy but I do believe others here have. Of course, I can't think of what it is they take. The people I'm thinking of may be active on the anxiety forum so if you post this there you may get more answers.

Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

Take care

Xanax will help if the dose is large enough, dissolve pills under tongue when a panic attack starts
Zoloft can reduce or stop panic atatcks but start with- a low dose, takes 2 to 6 weeks to work fully

Hi, I've seen a homeopath in the past for my panic disorder. I did have tablets but I really can't remember the name. I think they work mostly through placebo effect. They never did a thing for me unfortunately.

However I did find my appointments with homeopaths to be a good counselling session.

Yeah, I also think that it works mostly through placebo effect. I will try and if I find something good I will let you know! :)
My best to all of you :)

homoepaths give a placebo effect only, take the doctors pills if you want to get better

Magnesium powder or tablets help me, avoiding caffeine and stimulants... I've dabbled with floral essences for various things but I can't say I'm noticing any difference with these though the rescue remedy herbal cream for stress is useful even if it is a placebo?!
