good grief.. do you want to continue having panic attacks... take the meds, however if you feel like you need to suffer dont take um. your choice. I got my first anxiety attack when i was 7, didnt have another one until i was 20 then i couldnt stop having them so i had to get on meds. I have SAD (severe anxiety disorder) God didnt give me these. Its a chemical thing in my brain. God isnt giving you these, however im sure no amount of people would be able to convince you of this. It comes down to dont take meds and suffer through panic attacks for the rest of your life or take them and lead a normal life.

God allows trial and temptation But he also said that He could deliver His people from their temptations and with every temptation He will provide away out of it. I suppose your attacks causes fears and worries and Both of these are not of the Lord,

Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world,

If God Be for you, who can be against you?

How about right here:

Re 7:9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;Re 7:10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.Re 7:11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,Re 7:12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.Re 7:13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?Re 7:14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.Re 7:15Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

and this ain't counting the old testament saints or the Church this is just the ones that were saved during the great tribulation

Hon, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you have a spell check or something you could use before posting? I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are trying to ask, but did you ask what my grandparent thought when they started experiencing them?

To tell you the truth, my grandma just killed herself because of her problems, especially since she was using illegal drugs to deal with the anxiety, and my mom deals with panic by being an alcoholic. Don't follow in their footsteps.

Also, SAD also stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder, it's when you get too low levels of vitamin D in the winter and become depressed. My mom gets that, and so does my priest.

Medication is the only answer otherwise you can't live a normal life? There are PLENTY of other ways to deal with anxiety then to take medication. Also medication doesn't take away your anxiety it's not magic. It just takes away the side effects of your anxiety. Not to mention most anxiety medications are highly addictive and even if you stop having anxiety and panic attacks you will have side effects from the medication itself.

I am talking out of experience I got diagnosed with a general anxiety disorder about 2 years ago and I'm not going to get into the whole story but that is pretty much my testimony on how I came to know the Lord in a love and saving relationship.

Yaeger1 trust me.. Medication is only ONE way to deal with it. You just need self-confidence and I recommend seeing a counselor or just have a friend to talk to. Someone you can tell absolutely everything to. Talking IS the best medication. But before you consider medication please try other ways to go about it. There are plenty of ways, pray about it and see what the Lord wants you to do.

If there is some kind of chemical imbalance in your brain, then yes only medication can help that. I have taken my meds for years and years and have not had one panic attack since taking them so YES sometimes they do take away all anxiety attacks. Ive not had one side effect from my medication. but yes i agree, pray about it and see what god wants you to do. I will always vote for meds cause it has worked wonders for me.

Re #13 Do you fear the devil? Do you WORRY about anything? Are you STRESSED about anything? ALL worry and stress is based in FEAR.

Take it to the Lord and ask Him to show you what your REAL fears are.

Don't forget that meds help to take away the biological malfunctions, and allow us to focus more on our problems without such a hassle. So you can deal with your issue more readily with use of medication. Lol i swear you use the word medication and some people on here have to explode haha

I think fear can be caused by demons or make the fear that you have can be made worse by them, but that's usually not the case. With me people like me, harely, Leilaii425, and yager it's just our normal anxiety disorders that are causing our problems. Not demons.

Panic attacks are perfectly natural. I used to have them often. I still do have them, I just don't have them as often.

That being said, demons have no power over you. I know people like to say they do, but they don't.
