first of all, i have this arythmia type thing that happends to me at times so that might be the cause of my anxiety and panic 24/7

i'm a 15 year old teen.

i've just been panicing 24/7, my hearts beating really fast, sweating, i just FEEL SICK 24/7. sometimes it just gets bad enough for me to get a panic attack.

im just having trouble calming down

how do i just get rid of this panic.. 2 weeks i've been like this i just feel like im going to explode.

i don't want to be on medication for 6 months to calm me down, is there simply no other way. HELP ME

Answer:

I agree with Micheal. I don't need so called"wonder" medicine messing with my mind, xanax calms anxiety.No more,no less. Once you are calmed down,you can find the cause of your anxiety. 15 is young to start any meds,but,doing something now will help you enjoy your precious teen years.I wish you the best.((hugs))

Huh? Have you actually been to a doctor? It may not be panic, it could be your heart. Or are you just suffering and you haven't even mentioned it to your parents?

I've been through a very similar situation and what helped me was medication. Ask your doctor about Atenelol (beta-blocker) and Paxil. The combination stopped my panic attacks and my heart palpitations. The atenelol has almost immediate effects. Paxil takes about 2 weeks to set in well (perhaps use tranquilizers until Paxil begins to kick in). Go to your family doctor now, there is no need to continue to suffer.
