Newbie Just wondering...

Hello guys and gals,

I've had panic attacks and high anxiety 4 years ago and was prescribed Cipralex SSRI's for it (didnt do any CBT) my past 4 years have been relatively anxiety and panic attacks free so I went from 1 pill a day to half a pill a day 6 months ago and now to one quarter of a pill a day since 3 months ago.   Last week I experience a series of panic attacks and wanted to find a new way to deal with anxiety and panic, not wanting to go back on higher pill dosage again.  

My question is are there people on here that only do CBT and meditation'relaxation techniques without taking any medication?
How has that been working out for them?  Is there anyone here thats been cured forever from panic attacks just due to CBT?

Thanks

Thanks guys.  So Davit, what you are actually saying is that I will need the meds regardless of how well I control my panic and anxiety?  I'm fine with that.  I just want to know that with this combo I will get over it totally..  

One more thing... Whats the difference between this course and a course thats walked through a psychologist that wants to charge me $170/hr.?
