Withdrawal symptoms: how to cope with panic attacks WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS: HOW TO COPE WITH PANIC ATTACKS
If your attitude is 'I will die, be sick, faint, wet my pants, etc., if I don't fight this panic attack', you will encourage more attacks. It will become a trigger for stimulating more hormones and more fear. If you teach your body to give the correct messages to your brain, you can break this chain reaction.
When an attack comes, breathe out long and hard, and pause before you breathe in. Dr Hibbert suggests putting a cold wet cloth on the cheeks. This acts on the diving reflex and slows down the breathing very effectively. If you slow down your breathing (by breathing from the abdomen) it will be impossible for symptoms to become worse. Abdominal breathing is allowing full lung expansion by raising the abdomen on the in-breath.
Cupping the hands or hold a paper (not plastic) bag over the nose and mouth whilst breathing normally will increase carbon dioxide levels and help to calm you within a few minutes.
Try not to be embarrassed about letting those around you know what is wrong. One young woman who shouts for help during attacks has learnt to explain that she is suffering from drug withdrawal symptoms, and that it will pass in a minute.
Dr Weekes's book was not written for people coming off drugs, but the illness she describes, which many would think of as a nervous breakdown, is very similar—a chemical nervous breakdown if you like. Some people are afraid of the words ‘nervous breakdown’. It really means exhausted nerves. You will recover, no matter how long you have been ill, if you after your attitude from ‘I feel so bad I will never get better’ to ‘I know I will get better if I accept the illness, help my body to cope with it, and wait for time to heal’.
