Besides drugs, how else can I treat my anxiety attacks?


Life style and home remedies may help diminish anxiety. Try to exercise regularly, eat healthy, avoid alcohol and prescription medications, use some type of relaxing technique like yoga or meditation and get adequate sleep. Exercise is one of the most powerful reducers of stress and can help improve your mood and keep you healthy. Perform exercises that you like and gradually increase the intensity. 
Other alternative remedies that can be used to relieve anxiety include the use of Kava, valerian and vitamin B. Remember, except for the vitamins there is no solid evidence that any herb can relieve anxiety. Moreover, these plant products are also expensive and can have side effects. To help you manage anxiety, join an anxiety support group and address what is bothering you. Try not to dwell on the past and break the cycle when you feel anxious by going for a long walk.  Socialize with friends and family as these interactions can help reduce stress and develop loving relationships.
