how can these be controlled..?

anybody else suffer from anything like these..?

from my point of view its from prolonged abuse, can it be cured though..?

I believe the Scientologists can help you.

def don't smoke any more weed.

Other than that, there ain't much you can do without having the doc prescribe some drugs to stabilise your mood - not that I think that's a very good idea at all... It's all about becoming comfortable with your surroundings, can take a while.

def stop using any drugs. try to get up earlier so you have a little time to yourself to relax (just an hour or so helps). do breathing exercises. exercise. try not to put yoursel fin situations where the paranoia and anxiety come about...

Yeah this is pretty much all you can do. I've suffered from both panic attacks and parania from about the age of 16. You just need to get used to it. Well, that depends how serious it is. I take it it's not got to the stage were you might be considering preffesional help.

and I BEG you don't take any SSRIs i.e. anti-depressants like Seroxat, Fluoxetine etc unless you don't see any other option. I know too many people on SSRIs who don't see any real benefits but still can't bring themselves to stop taking them.

Read this book:

Yes seroxat has some very bad side effects. If you do think you need to go on any kind of anti depresants you're best advised to do some research. My advice is to not go any where near them. Best to clime the hill unaided if possabe

I took paxil (see earlier posts about this)

it mellowed me out and my anxiety stopped, but when I stopped taking it, the withdrawls were terrible and I still flashback from time to time.

being sober is key, it's when I was always messed up on teh herb when I would relapse into paranoia and panic attacks.

best of luck, I have been there

you just getting old..

drink a good amount of beer, then smoke a little... results = a happy and crunk visionary.

^^^errr

not the best advice for someone having anxiety

^^ from someone who suffers from anxiety, thats the best advice i could give if hes not trying to become a monk.

dont go balls out.. alcohol is a depressant.. not a stimulant. it slows the brain down, which is what needs to happen in order to dodge the fits of spinning in ones head... then if you do smoke, smoke a "little" .. 1+1=3 .. and happy three at that.

Not being rude in any way bruv, but no1 on here can really tell you how to control it, i mean what works for 1 might not work for you, i have had similer experiences befor myself. You say it is from prolonged abuse, i gather you probly dont want to air your problems online, so my best advice would be to see a doc, see what they recemend. Mabe seeing some kind of consuler may help you deal with your panic attacks and paranoia. Anyways all the best to you brother, hope things work out

i've had anxiety and what i suppose are 'mild' panic attacks since i was 19 or 20, which i mainly attribute to ridiculous amount of weed i smoked in my first and second years of university.

it comes and goes, and can vary from feeling vaguely uncomfortable in crowded places to full blown curtain-twitching, lets-stay-inside-where-its-safe paranoia. most social situations for me are still absolute torment unless i've had a good few drinks, because i'm always second guessing myself and over-analysing what i'm saying and how i come across to people. anyone on here who knows me in real life can attest to how much i over-apologise (and incidentally, if i've ever seemed rude and distant face-to-face it's not cause i don't like you, it's because my mind is racing going 'shit what do i say now, shit he thinks i'm a twat, oh fuck why the hell did i just tell that shit anecdote oh god now everyone thinks i'm a prat')

i've found the best way to deal with it is face it head-on, though. the more you push yourself into situations that the little voice is screaming at you to avoid, the more comfortable you get with them and the quieter and quieter that voice becomes.

def need to learn breathing exercises. that helped me a lot. i had post traumatic stress syndrom a few yrs back and i couldnt leave my apartment for a long long time without several diff panic attacks even thinking about walking out onto the street and on the subway. (living in philadelphia at the time too and thats not a welcoming place for anxiety-big city)...

i learned when you start feeling the anxiety coming on your body goes into this mode of panic where you breath shorter and dont release all the bad gasses. which in turn hurts you and makes your body panic even more. the trick?....

breath in on a slow count of 7 release it slowly on a count of 10. always works for me. i try to close my eyes too doing this and just kind of meditate. concentrate on the airflow.

medication is NOT the answer though unless its so bad you cant leave your place ever.

maybe though some therapy could help? there might be something triggering this anxiety?

and about the herb smoking. everyone is quick to blame that but i havent had any problems with anxiety or anything in a good yr now-and i smoke more now than ever. so cant be true for everyone!

but id assume consuming assloads of liquor or beer and lots of herb cant help.

My girlfriend had this panic attacks really bad, went to the doctor, put her on this meds for around two years...and she's completely fine now...kind of a bummer now that she's not on the meds...she never got mad for anything. lol.

IV Heroin always does the trick for me.

But that leads to a whole new set of problems
