Thinking my way out of a severe anxiety attack is next to impossible since there is no way way I could think clearly enough to use any techniques. All I could do was scream into a pillow and curl up in a fetal position until it went away.

I did notice that my anxiety was greatly reduced when my Riperdal was increased to 6 mg but I would still be lost without my benzo (ativan). I also used 1/2 of a Zopiclone tablet to stop anxiety.
