Anxiety Attack? Research Sounds Alarm on Meds for Anxiety Panic, Insomnia• You might instead, try proven natural alternatives. Why? • Research shows that sedatives like Valium and Ativan are addictive. What does that mean? “Your body acclimatizes to them in a matter of weeks, and when you stop using the pills, you then have real difficulty sleeping. I don’t think they should be used except for very short periods of time because ultimately, I think they make sleep worse.” Dr. Uetrecht, professor of pharmacology and medicine at the University of Toronto When you stop taking these pills you have to deal with negative effects including: 1) anxiety, 2) tremors and 3) insomnia. Don’t these "effects" sound like what they are trying to treat in the first place? • Here's why you should consider natural alternatives for an anxiety attack, anxiety panic or insomnia relief: Research Sounds Alarm!Researchers at the University of British Columbia have warned of the “down” side of using benzodiazepines like: Valium (Diazepam), Xanax (Alprazolam) and Ativan (Lorazepam).Dr. James Wright, director of the Therapeutics Initiative found that "People who start these drugs are often not warned that, when they do stop, they can expect to have withdrawal effects," if used more than a few weeks -- or more than 100 pills in total! Withdrawal effects include anxiety, tremors and confusion -- symptoms that can last for weeks or months. “These drugs are habituating. It’s known they tend to lose their effectiveness if used regularly, and you don’t want someone to become dependent on them because they can be extremely difficult to stop.” "Since many health professionals don’t recognize these as side-effects, they simply prescribe more medications for this withdrawal! The most common withdrawal reaction is INSOMNIA. So, when they stop and they can't sleep, they think they continue to need the drug," says Dr. Wright.
Joan Gadsby's story of her "Addiction By Prescription" 100 Days Max for Meds!Researchers have sounded the alarm particularly over "Benzo" addictions, for instance, to Valium (Diazepam), Xanax (Alprazolam) and Ativan (Lorazepam).By using these only with caution -- remember, 100 days max -- and by finding better ways to deal with stress and anxiety attacks, you too can "lighten up," smell the roses and sleep like a baby! What Causes an Anxiety Attack?“Anxiety is an overestimation of the threat or difficulty or a situation combined with an underestimation of your ability to handle it,” according to Dr. Lorina Kase, a clinical psychologist, author of How To Beat Worry. Anxiety is the silent partner of stress. Stress comes from demands placed on you from external sources. An anxiety attack comes from the demands you put on yourself. Dr. Kase suggests doing a regular audit of your workday and situations that make you uncomfortable.“Ask yourself, ‘what am I thinking about that’s making me nervous?’ ” Write these down and challenge the preconceived ideas you have about them, she suggests. Simply by confronting these assumptions you will realize that the worst-case scenario you have imagined is unlikely to come true. That will give you confidence to break the cycle of self-doubt and face up to similar challenges as they occur in the future, she says, and avoid an anxiety attack.

Satisfaction from one’s achievements in the world – regardless of their recognizable importance or significance, or their number or nature – is only short-lived. After every achievement, we soon look for something else to give us another or renewed sense of satisfaction, increased happiness, or sense of importance.
