Suffered from anxiety and panic attacks in the past, awful feelings and never in control of when they come on. I could be sitting in the front room watching tv with the missus and kids and within minutes it’s taken hold of you. I’d take myself away, have a bath or sit in the garage where I have a weights bench and force my mind away from it. I also use phenergan (promethazine)which helps calm (you can get over the counter or online)

Ditching the booze is massive part of alleviating the problem, as others have said. Ditching the booze in itself can be a bit of a problem though.
I’ve had a good five or six weeks or so of no booze (well two and a half pints in that period) and felt great, running a lot, sleeping better too. Went to Spain the weekend and got on it, so all the old problems have crept back over the last few days. Back on the wagon I guess.....

I reckon it's more down to the processed muck we eat nowadays than the booze.

tea, SON!
What works for some won't work for others. Citalopram gave me worse panic attacks than I'd ever had without meds. Went to Sertraline and it absolutely sorted me out. 100% my anxiety was caused by booze though.
Scared the shit out of me, to be honest.

Hopefully this thread has helped dicksie3, what it has done is show how many of us have suffered or are suffering with this shit.
Personally i think mindfulness & exercise are the way forward, i know medication helps a lot of people but i found Citalopram a real libido killer when i was on it.
By the way today is world mental health awareness day so it's good to talk.

Metazapine and quetiapine here. I’ve downed my dosage since running. Exercise is better than any pill in my opinion.

I am on Citalopram, works well for me and I tolerate it well. Ironically I started on Sertraline - gave me hallucinations. One morning I woke up and there was a dinosaur at the end of my bed then I realised it was the wife!

In all seriousness, CAPSIE, lay off the beer. And if you're having regular anxiety/panic attacks then go and see your doc and get some meds. Someone mentioned Citalopram - That fucked me up something rotten and I found that Sertraline was the one that worked. Just a case of seeing what works. No shame in it at the end of the day.
I wouldn't wish anxiety attacks on anyone. Fucking awful business. Almost ruined my last season at the BOLEYN.

Dicksie3 is right to feel anxious. As one of my personal friends I can attest that my fantastic looks, brilliant personality, awesome intelligence and all round sense of excellence can make everyone feel insecure and anxious in my presence.
Apologies dicksie3. Find uglier, thicker, shitter mates :-)

Ive had plenty of this shit (which is DEFINITELY closely linked to the drink) and ive tried all sorts of shit but the number 1 best thing for me is exercise. Even just a bit helps. Ive been biking to work and back for a month now and just that five mile each way regular journey is definitely helping me feel better. Also saving money, halving my commute time and should start to see a bit of weight loss soon so all good.

Social situations without alcohol are a fucking chore that I can endure, I wouldn't say they make me anxious at all, but all the time I am generally thinking what a load of cunt this is I don't want or need to be here.
With alcohol social situations are a laugh if I'm with people I know but I generally tell people EXACTLY how it is after a few pints which I find amusing but sometimes they don't.
Far prefer open spaces to crowds, you'd have to be some kind of cunt not to.
Seeing the kid playing with slime about the house makes me anxious as to how much of a fucking mess she's going to make.
I have no feeling of fear or impending doom whatsover, we are all going to be DEAD at some point, no fucking point wasting time about worrying when it's going to happen.
All these people permanently off work with 'stress' are generally piss takers who can't handle the pace. Or USELESS CUNTS as I would say succinctly to their face after 6 pints if I was in a social situation with them, and then they'd have some time off with stress.

Just stop taking pills, Ratched. It won't help your anxiety but it will ease the burden on the NHS by 350 million quid a day.

you once admitted you relax to Craig David's greatest hits proclaiming him Britain's best vocalist!
I tried that and ended up setting my headphones on fire which destroyed half the kebab shop I was in at the time.
Hope you're pleased with yourself?
