Posted by Holly on 3/18/2005, 3:26 pm, in reply to "Panic while driving" --Previous Message-- That used to happen to me alot...and sometimes it still does on occasion..I can sympathize with the being stuck at lights and feeling like you can't get out. I have found a few different things that help 1) I try to do deep breathing and focus my mind on something completely different like a song on the radio or where I am going and what I need to get done. 2) My klonopin can come in handy in emergency cases, sometimes just knowing I have it available calms me down. 3)My thyroid was a BIG contributor to my anxiety/panic attacks and keeping up with my medications and getting it under control has been a huge help...
