What Is The Treatment For Insomnia When Having Dysphagia And Panic Attacks?

My name is Colin and I am 34 years old. I weigh approx. 160 lbs and until 2 months ago was an avid soccer player. I have been experiencing insomnia for the past 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. I have mild dysphagia and frequent panic attacks. Was prescribed Xanax on Monday and my tolerance is quickly building from half a pill on Monday to a whole by Thursday just to get 2-5 hours of sleep. Now I can't even sleep on that. Have been told by 2 other doctors that it is just anxiety disorder. Any alternate suggestions would be appreciated. My greatest fear is SFI.

Hi. Insomnia for no other obvious somatic( bodily) cause is definitely due to anxiety. That too at the age of 34 and in a avid player like is not expected. The better solution is to find the reason of anxiety, talk over to the one who created it , or get the solution from a close relative or a friend. This will automatically be over. Not needing the tablet. Treat the root cause, boss. What do you mean by SFI ? ( is it sexual function I... or something ?)
