A good exercise session will do the same thing. Of course the kid would have to leave the couch to do that.
Exercise doesn’t help with severe anxiety and panic attacks. It is only beneficial for average, everyday anxiety.
It’s hard to exercise when your body is violently shaking and you are unable to move or walk.
My anxiety and panic attacks are caused by past traumatic events and an excess amount of Serotonin. Serotonin Syndrome is not a good experience.
I am prescribed Xanax and it has saved my life. Anti-Anxiety drugs can be a godsend, if used as prescribed.
But, I admit that I’m not comfortable with teens using them. Maybe, only in extreme cases, when every other option has failed.
Phenibut is a little different from Benzos. Phenibut and Benzos are similar in that they reduce anxiety, but Phenibut improves cognition and focus. Unfortunately, Benzos can reduce concentration and cause short term memory loss.
Phenibut and Benzos are dangerous for kids (or anyone) to abuse because dependency builds very quickly and withdrawal is absolute hell and can even be fatal.
