If you have tried many approaches to getting rid of panic attacks, of course I do not know what they were, but I presume you have done some research on what usually works or helps, been to doctors, tried different medications, and worked with a cognitive behavioral therapist.

But the first thing would be to run down a checklist of what you have tried and what the nature of your trial remedies was. There may be something you have tried, but not long enough or in the right way … for all I know.

And then there are the unusual and unexpected causes of panic attacks, or the unusual recipes of health challenges that make diagnosis and treatment more challenging. In the latter case, however, probably you should have seen some positive difference to some method of counterattack. In the former, who knows?

I have read, for example, of one person for whom nothing served to rid of panic attacks except magnesium supplements. Another person could not be rid of depression until black mold was removed (between inner and outer wall, or wherever). Some are hyper sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Others are more dramatically affected by heavy metal poisoning. (For some of these, removal of mercury alloy fillings improves one’s condition–though I am not sure I have heard of anxiety being a symptom.) How about laundry detergent residue in your clothing? Having an anxiety reaction to genetically modified foods?

In other words, if the usual suspects are innocent, look for the unusual.

In any case, long and careful observation and recording of symptoms, conditions, feelings, possible triggers to panic attacks, and conditions surrounding even temporary improvement is advisable. If you have not practiced deep and slow breathing two to four times per day for several weeks, do that (and during attacks). And see the sources below in case they include something you have not considered.

A shot of whiskey should do tha trick.

Yes, it is possible for you to stop your panic attacks. There are many ways to control anxiety.

A simple, easy way to do it is to try to calm yourself down. Be aware of your surroundings. When you feel one coming on, notice that you are safe. Concentrate on your breathing. Take slow, deep breaths. Notice that the air is coming in and out of your lungs and your heart is beating, the same as always. If you get too caught u in an attack, you can only make it worse. Assure yourself the anxiety is only temporary and will pass soon. Just remain calm.

Do this enough and you can calm yourself and talk yourself through each attack. The better you get at realizing what’s going on, the quicker you can overcome them.
