Hi I recently about a month ago started having paralyzing panic attacks. I went to the doc and he prescribed .5mg Ativan a day. It helped but i was now having anxiety attacks. Didn't know what they were and thought i was hanging onto my sanity by a thread. I went and got Lucinda's book, From Panic to Power. It definitly helped. I just ordered the program and am waiting for it to arrive.

Congratulatoins, you took the first step and ordered the program. I was in the same boat as you. I thought I was losing my mind. This program is wonderful. It'll cover every topic and concern that you're dealing with. Lucinda has dealt with the same situations that we went through/are going through and has a knack for explaining the situation and what to do to control the situation. Follow the tapes and do the homework and you can get through this.

Question: I seem to feel anxious a lot in the morning. When I wake I feel like I can't help but feel like I am worried about how I am going to feel for the rest of the day. I seem to wake up with a racing heart. Anyone else like this when waking up?

yes i to get anxious in the morning but some are better than others. what i have started doing is getting up straight away when i wake after a few minutes of getting myself together and not thinking to much. i then get my breakfast and shower. if i get moving and doing things without thinking to much then my anxious feeling are not to bad. if i lay there dwelling on things i wind myself up to panic.

as hard as it is move as soon as you can! take care and good luck..

Thanks for the help. I am not sure if this is just a placebo effect or what but i started taking a vitamin B complex. I read that anxiety can result in a deficiency in Vitamin B. Further research shows that b vitamins work better in conjunction. I feel better when I take it daily. If i forget I seem to feel more tense then I realize I didn't take my supplement.
