    Ive had an anxiety disorder for a while as well, and I deal with it without prescription drugs.

    Basically, to deal with my panic attacks and general anxiety I will do one of 3 things.

    1. If possible, I will take some time to sit alone and meditate, it really helps to clear your mind. I cannot suggest this technique more - it takes a while to get to the point where you can meditate easily, but it works better than any medication I’ve ever taken.

    2. Write/Talk out my fears at that time. I will write down or say out loud what is causing my anxiety, and the more I read or say them, the stupider they seem.

    3. Talk to someone about it. In the past I used to talk to my therapist about my issues, and it did really help, but now that I don’t have health insurance, I talk to my girlfriend about it, and it really helps me out.

    I hope these techniques can help you, they really help me.

    I really dislike prescriptions and medications in general, I believe they cause more problems than they fix.
