I have this weird feeling of anxiety. It occurs even though I don't think about it.
I can't seem to work because of it. Whenever I'm going rounds my throat gets dry, my body gets tense, and I get nauseous. It becomes so overwhelming that I just let it overcome me by not attending work. There have been a couple of times where I have attended work, but even when there I can't shake it off. It's still there. One time it got so overwhelming that I had to walk out and actually puke. It's weird, whenever I leave class my body no longer feels that way and I feel fine. This doesn't happen at any other time except for before I go on amusement park rides, but it goes away during the ride. What could be the problem here? I try thinking of good, relaxing thoughts, but even that gets undermined.
I haven't had this problem until this year. Any explanations? Because this is really bugging me.
I'm sure you can find it online...

Yep, sure enough you can. I can feel the symptoms starting already .. shaking and sweating .. nobody will n-n-n-o-tice .. OMG .. now they're POINTING. Aaargh ..
Better than the the site for people scared of dying in their sleep though. That WAS scary.
Hello,
the original idea of this post was to find information on methods which do not involve the use of SSRi's or any tricylic anti-depressants. They are absoultely horrible. Ive had some success with benzodiazapines, but find most doctors are not so happy to prescribe that. Any other ideas? I will never take SSRi's beacuse of the symptoms described by the above post.
I guess i've had this longer but i'm only just starting to realize the scope of it.

We here are only allowed to say that this idea seems such and such to us, but we're not allowed to, by the precedents of law, give medical advice.
This is your choice, what you want to do?
I saw this and it seemed to make some sense.
http://home.caregroup.org/clinical/altmed/.../SSRI's.htm
I myself, a while back, went through a period to where I had to take an antidepressives.
There is something in the way that I'm put o together, that after a while of taking these, I started to get flashes of pain in my head.
By chance, a relative, is the same way and cannot take some antidepressives either.
If it were me, I would get checked over by a good medical doctor, that considers the patient a human of some sort and not a money box, to get money out of.
Furthermore, if it were me, I would kind of show him her what your eating, the hours you keep and other areas, that might be causing the problem.
You can also see a psychiatrist on a joint recommendation follow-up that might find the root cause or an alternative to taking a certain kind of medication.
At some of the bigger medical schools, they now have a holistic health area of teaching medical students, that really looks the person over, as a person, not an object.
I hope that you really make wise choices and find what the root of your problem is here..?

Thank you Phillip, for sharing your experiance. I guess the quest goes on 
does this happen only when you go to work? or does the anxiety attack happens at home too?

Hi Donna,
I totally understand what it's like to be stressed out. You could consider passing on your stress to someone who really needs it, like "I will gonna happy to help you." wilson. There are a variety of ways to pass on stress to someone else including yelling, ridiculing and slapping. Depending upon the degree of anxiety and how annoying someone is, you could give them so much stress that they cry. It's just a thought.

I have this weird feeling of anxiety. It occurs even though I don't think about it.
Anxiety can be crippling - many, many people suffer anxious episodes for reasons they cannot deduce. Of course we are all familiar with normal reactive anxiety, where we feel worried and physically impacted by a situation or fear. It is when the cause is a mystery and we are unable to cognitively mediate the symptoms that anxiety really becomes an issue.
Even worse, when we begin to have regular episodes (panic-attacks, for example) we can bring on an attack by worrying about whether such an attack will occur - this is sometimes called a loop.
When anxiety becomes a severe problem it may be diagnosed as a Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) but the old clinical term is, I think, better: Free-Floating Anxiety.
I applaud your reluctance to go down the SSRI (etc.) route in tackling this problem. Much of psychiatry operates on the Recovery Model - literally to re-cover the symptom chemically!
Have you considered psychoanalytical psychotherapy? This is a challenging but substantial approach and I suspect would be of great benefit to you. Another option is hypnotherapy, which has been used to treat anxious symptoms with great success for a very long time.
Whatever pathway you decide to follow you should discuss the issue with your doctor. He may feel that a low dose of Diazapam or Beta-blockers (or whatever) could help with your symptoms whilst you pursue a more thorough solution, as I have suggested. The reason for your doctor's reluctance to prescribe a benzodiazapine is probably because they are habit-forming - if you reassure him that you are pursuing a psychological treatment then he may be more willing to prescribe these in the short-term.
I hope this helps - feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss further.

Your response was far more measured than most "advice" which amounted to little more that the shill de jour. Congrats on making it past the first level of filters.

I recently developed similar symptoms and ended up telling my doctor about them. I now take valium for the anxiety, and no longer have any anxiety attacks.
Valium is habit-forming, but there are alternatives, and when you or your doctor feel like there's a problem developing, he can switch you to one of the others.
Recognize that if this were a problem with your lungs, you wouldn't hesitate to get a doctor's help. It's a weird thing, this stigma against getting medical help for brain-chemical imbalances.
BTW, are you getting enough sleep at night? Do you snore or stop breathing during your sleep? Do you remember your dreams? The anxiety attacks you describe could be due to sleep apnea. Again, your doctor would be the one to make that diagnosis.

I would have to say that our behavior is a big issue.
In what we allow in our minds, the things we watch, the people we choose as friends, it all reflects back to how our stress can be. Temptations of the world come in all different ways and you have to be mindful of this. Guarding your thoughts.
