Hi guys so ive been doing better. My psych symptoms seem to be slowly improving among others on buhner. But this week I got the flu. Two days ago my panic attacks suddenly got out of control along with my stomach and sweats. I keep drenching my clothes then shivering and panicking I feel like I'm dying. Lots of dread. I'm confused I haven't increased anything. The only thing I can think of is my fever is killing something? Haaaaaalp shocked cry

Oh I'm sorry jennydancingfish. Hang in there , it's so good that you have been doing better.
These symptoms from the flu are probably just a temporary setback that hopefully will go away as soon as your better from the flu.
You could be right when your body heats up from fever it could be causing a herx.

Try to push those dreadful thoughts out of your head and focus on how you have been improving and healing.

Make sure to drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest if you can.
Take care , Jo

Jenny, just stopping by to give you support.
I just went through some horrible anxiety. It is so hard to think positive during these times. Hopefully, this will end real soon. Stay strong. xx

Hi.. just wanted to chime in that my anxiety upon waking has been greatly helped by holy basil( Gia - super critical extract I think... in pill form) in double the dose ( two caps) two times per day.

And / or biakail skullcap - worked up to dropperful two times per day.

I suspect holybail ( aka tulsi) helped most. My anxiety was prob related to cortisol surge in am and adrenals as holy basil is specific to that. One cap was no help had to increase dose and gave it a few days to week after raising dose.

B. Skullcap helped with tingly shaky arms

Thanks guys I just wish I knew why 😭 My last flu didn't make me herx or worse but this flu is way stronger than my last one plus fever

I got mine from amazon but most health food stores should cary. Call first. My anxiety was strictly upon waking. But can help if cortisol issue. Research it, great herbal adaptagen.
Past two years I got the flu and about week after I flared like never before lasted about two months

One of my favorite Holy Basil extracts is contained in Adrenal Health from Gaia herbs. Passion Flower tea is also good for anxiety. I hope you feel better soon!

Also inositol helped some ..tapping has gotten me out of some scary situations .....head eyebrows cheekbones, above lip, collarbone, triple warmer ,rinse wash repeat
