I have recently been having stress induced seizures and panic attacks and take a seizure med, but how do I get past the anxiety? Is there something I can do at home?

Sorry to hear about your panic attacks, I too have them. Here a few ideas that I use. Calming herbs such as valerian, chamomile, skullcap, hops and passionflower. Also there is a product called Anxiety Control by Metabolic maintenance that also seems to help. Another is rescuse remedy by bach flower. Another procedure that you can do is EFT, it is basically tapping with your fingers on pressure points on your body.Check on line, just type in the search bar EFT, or check out Dr.Mercola's website www.mercola.com. Try to stay away from caffeine that only makes the anxiety worse. Check into biofeedback, I did and it helps alot. I do biofeedback twice a day for 20 mintues it helps get rid of the stress. Did you ever check into food allergies that you might have, because food allergies can cause panic attacks. I eliminated the one that I was tested for and it did help. I hope some of these suggestions help you, there are more, but try these also check with your doctor.

I wish I knew of a home remedy for it, then I wouldn't have to take the meds I take. I know someone said sleeping but that just masks the anxiety. Maybe try going on a homeopathic website and they could give you some ideas. Or better yet, talk to your Dr. sometimes they know what to do even if does not include traditional medicines.
