The ABC Homeopathy Forum
For Dr. Nawz Khan
Dr. Khan,This was my previous post, but I have not received any responses. I have been desperately trying to find a remedy for my son's panic attacks that are taking over any joy he gets out of life.
Thank you,
His Mother Buggy
I am writing about my 10 year old son, Abe. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is both underweight and under the height range for his age group. He was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2 years ago, was put on 20 mg. of Prozac and has been on it until about 1 1/2 months ago.
1. He began having panic attacks. See # 8 for more detail.
2. His chest tightens, his heart beats rapidly, his stomach hurts, he breaks out in a sweat and feels like he is dying. He has about 2 per week now. Whenever he goes to school, he cries uncontrollably for about an hour and then off and on throughout the school day.
3. We don't know what triggered the increase in intensity of his anxiety - perhaps it was over-hearing about a local school shooting, maybe coming down with a short-term illness, maybe being ridiculed by classmates for his daily brain fog and not following along. There could be many reasons.
4. It seems to be worse when he approaches his school building or when he is around people outside his family.
5. He gets no relief from this except when he is sleeping or is doing a recreational event, such as watching t.v.
6. Sleep seems to be okay. Dreams are sometimes nightmarish, but not often.
7. If there is any one word I would use to describe him,it would be 'hypersensitive'. He has always had an aversion to loud noises or things that could startle him(e.g. a fire drill). He cries easily, his feelings get hurt easily, his pain tolerance is low and of course, he worries about many things.
8. His repetitive concerns right now are fear of having an incurable disease, fear of stopping breathing, fear of choking to death, fear of being suicidal, fear of never overcoming anxiety, fear of catching a disease from someone or something, fear of someone hurting him physically, fear of hell (and its inhabitants). These incessant thoughts I believe bring on the panic attacks.
9. He dislikes many vegetables and can't go a day without desserts.
10. No major diseases. He's had some g.i. issues, but nothing was ever found. The doctor believes it was a response to his anxieties.
11. The doctor has increased his Prozac dose to 25 mg/day and added a minimum dose of another anti-anxiety med, hydroxyzine.
12. He received Arsenicum when he was small, but that was a bad experience as he vomitted that up for a couple of days.
13. He has brain fog and does not seem to connect well with people outside of family. He really has few, if any, good friends. Socially, his development is lacking. He seems to breathe hard (laboriously) and gets colds about 3 times per year. He prefers being cold versus being hot. He can be defiant at times and other times is the sweetest child you could meet.
He, so much, wants to be free of anxiety and to be happy and carefree.

16. At the beginning of this year he started having panic attacks. We don't know what triggered them - there was a shooting in a local school, he had a 2 day flu, he was upset about the amount of homework and classwork he receives on a daily basis. It could have been any of those things or something else.
17. He feels awful. He dreads going outside the home because he is afraid he might contract an incurable disease, someone might hurt him, the world might end, he might go to hell or encounter an evil spirit, he might someday be suicidal, he might be abandoned, etc.
18. He doesn't want to engage in life and sees this never getting better.
19. He feels defeated
20. Panic attacks feel like he is dying. His heart beats rapidly, his chest tightens, his stomach hurts.
21. Unknown. He is hypersensitive, so many things have an effect. Just walking by the t.v. when the news is on can make him think disastrous things for months.
22. Extremely anxious and depressing.
23. see above
24. Nervous tics such as continual lip-licking, cracking knuckles, clearing throat, etc.
25. Currently on 25mg of Prozac, hydroxyzine,
Also taking Hylands Nerve Tonic 1x/day, Some Boiron pellets (30C ignatius amara, 30c gelsemium sempervirens, 30Cargentum nitricum, 6C Lycopodium clavatum,6C silicea, and 6C pulsatilla 2X/day)
26. Living with biological mother and father. Older brother 15, none of the same symptoms.
27. student
28. student
29. dislikes most vegetables and many foods with spices or strong flavors. cannot go a day without sweets or desserts. doesn't like chocolate though. drinks mostly water or milk....few juices.
30. unknown
31. Very kind to all people, shows enormous compassion for anyone underprivileged. Stressed very easily, especially when assigned a lot of homework or classwork or chores at home. Very slow to do chores or homework to where he procrastinates until something absolutely has to be done.
32. unknown
33. ?
34. mind - which leads to physical symptoms such as upset stomach (runny stools), rapid heart beat, tightened chest, typical anxiety symptoms
35. No definite side
36. nothing unusual except he does seem to have a lot of phlegm (but we don't know if that's a tic where he brings it up). Phlegm is whitish/yellow in color.
Thank You Very Much for responding.

Thank you for your encouragement. This has been a long and tough battle.
He takes 25 mg Prozac every morning (1X/day) and 25 mg of Hydroxyzine 1X/day in the morning. His pediatrician prescribed these medications. About 2 weeks ago, I read extensively on homeopathy and found Nerve Tonic in the store. I tried this 1X/day, and he seemed to get some relief from that, but only for an hour or two. After continual reading, I found a 'stress relief' remedy in our health store and that includes the 30c ignatius, gelsimium and argentum nitricum. These were the Boiron sublingual pellets. He has been taking these about 1 week. In the last couple of days, after additional reading and not finding a homeopathic expert where I live, I gave him the 6C remedies 2X/day. The last 4 days have been the best in the last couple of months, but this morning he had another panic attack. These attacks usually occur while on his way to school. I don't know if there are certain classes he fears. I do know he had one of his panic attacks in his Music class where the teacher is very firm. And he is hypersensitive -- with almost anything.
He seems to sleep well and usually receives 8 hours of sleep, although he is very difficult to get up in the morning. He has occasional nightmares (maybe 1 every 2 or 3 weeks).
I would love to see him get off of the Prozac and on to something natural. He is losing friends (and his confidence) because he cannot his anxiety.
You are a blessing to help me!

Hello Dr. Nawaz,
On Saturday and Sunday my son took the Argentum Nitricum remedy per your directions. I have not noticed any change, but I will observe throughout the week. I wanted to ask you, his fears seem to rotate - maybe one day his worry is about dying and the next day it could be about an illness. Today,he seems very sensitive to feet, especially the feet being tickled. I'm not sure what to make it, because he now wants to make sure his feet are always covered. Perhaps you have a better understanding to how this fits together??
Again, thank you most graciously for your time and help!

Hi,
It is really too early to find out from him about the mental condition. Please give the remedy more time to work. You must keep on talking to him about his feelings and other stuff.
BTW, please write as what are you looking specifically?
You are more than Welcome.
Many prayers for your son.

Thank You Nawaz.
I understand that the remedy may take some time, and I will try to be patient.
Specifically, I am looking for a much calmer boy who does not worry about negative things - incurable disease, death, fear of hell and being hypersensitive to sounds, feelings, sights, etc. Throughout my son's day he mentions how a thought or a situation worries him. He needs constant reassurance that things are okay. He not only fears the unknown, but he is worried he will have another panic attack, and panic attacks make him feel like he is dying. He also seems to have a very difficult time when he needs to transition from one situation to another (brain fog). I guess I am looking for a much happier, easy-going and confident boy.
Your assistance and prayers are much appreciated.

Greetings Dr. Nawaz,
The last few days seem to have brought little change in my son's anxiety/depression. Two evenings ago he lost his temper and began throwing things. His anger seemed to center around all the homework he had to do and an offensive gesture a classmate made towards him - his anger was building throughout the day.
Please let me know how to proceed.
God Bless you!

He took the remedy yesterday (Tuesday) and he didn't seem to have any anger today. Like you said, the anxiety takes a long time and patience is necessary. He seems a little lighter maybe with his anxiety, but it is still there everyday and he expresses many of the same fears every morning and night.
