Now that you know about the different types of anxiety that there are as well as some common causes, you probably want to know how you can get treated for anxiety so that you can find relief. There are many things that you can do to help yourself and medications that are available to help you. The worst thing that you can do is to ignore the symptoms and self medicate. Self medication includes taking drugs or alcohol on your own. Many people who suffer from anxiety are tempted to take a drink to alleviate their symptoms as alcohol can have a numbing effect. As a matter of fact, many people who are alcoholics suffer from anxiety. This is why programs like Alcoholics Anonymous help such individuals. The primary healing factor that is taught at AA is that you do not have to feel that you are “in control” all of the time.

If you go to your doctor after having an anxiety attack, chances are that he or she will put you on medication for the anxiety. Someone who is having a full blown anxiety attack is often thought to be having what used to be known as a “nervous breakdown.”

Doctors will do a blood test and will most likely want to check your thyroid. Many people who suffer from anxiety also have chemical imbalances. They may present with low levels of the B vitamins as well as magnesium, zinc and potassium. A doctor will often prescribe medication as well as advise you to seek therapy. Your doctor will also most likely tell you to eliminate harmful activities such as smoking or drinking alcohol, to eat right and exercise. All of these can be helpful when you are seeking to prevent or control anxiety and panic attacks.

When you see the doctor the first time, it is very likely that he or she will prescribe both an anti-depressant as well as a an anti-anxiety medication. Doctors are trained to eliminate your discomfort. Medication is the first thing a medical doctor will think of when they determine that you have been experiencing anxiety attacks.

There are many medications on the market that can treat anxiety. Most of them that are prescribed are labeled benzodiazepines. They work quickly to alleviate your fears and will take the edge off of your anxiety attack. The problem with these medications is that they are highly addictive and can cause even greater anxiety when you are trying to get off of them. Some of the most commonly prescribed medications for anxiety attacks include Xanax, Klonopin and Ativan. These replace Valium, which was used for years to treat anxiety attacks.
