Answer 1

I am a counselor and I specialize in panic disorder. You would need to talk to a mental health professional to determine whether or not you have panic disorder, but assuming you do:

Good news, panic attacks are very treatable! I do not recommend that you use any benzodiazapines, such as valium or xanax, because they just ease the symptoms without curing the anxiety. The best treatment is to find a psychotherapist who specializes in behavioral therapy.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Anxiety (including panic attacks), deression, schizophrenia and all other mental disorders are all caused by an imbalace of chemicals in your brain. So, in other words, the problem will never be rectified without correcting the imbalance in question. There's a myriad of anxiety medications on the market. None of which, I really know anything about. Back in the day, doctors would commonly prescribe Benzodiazapines such as Valium or Xanax to combat anxiety, but have recently seem to have ceased due to their addictive nature and potential for abuse. I use Paxil (a Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitor, or SSI) to help manage my depression/anxiety. Although, it hasn't completely cured my anxiety (no medication really will), I haven't suffered an attack in many years. Talk to your doctor, and try to find the particular med that works for you.

Answer 3

Hello ,
I have had a panic disorder for the past 17 yrs.
I have been taking "Clonazapam" for the whole time & I reciently moved & had to change doctors ,I found out that the drug I was taking was supposed to be for short term only!! The new doctor is trying to wean me off now with the drug "Celexa" . I have found the medicaton over the years to be a life saver as I couldnt go out of the house before ,without experiencing some sort of panic. I had cold sweats & thoughts of dying ,I was an emotional wreck ! Im sending you some of the things I found for you to help you better understand what it is all about. To help you better understand it all as it can be very scary..

A panic attack is a period of intense, often temporarily debilitating, sense of extreme fear or psychological distress, typically of abrupt onset. Though it is often a purely terrifying feeling to the sufferer, panic attacks are actually an evolutionary body response often known as the fight-or-flight response occurring out of context. Symptoms may include trembling, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain (or chest tightness), sweating, nausea, dizziness (or slight vertigo), light-headedness, hyperventilation, paresthesias (tingling sensations), and sensations of choking, smothering and dreamlike and disconnected sensations. During a panic attack, the body typically releases large amounts of adrenaline into the bloodstream. Many first time sufferers of a panic attack believe they are dying, going insane or having a heart attack. Many say panic attacks are among the most frightening experiences of their lives. Repeated and seemingly unprovoked panic attacks may be a sign of panic disorder, but panic attacks are associated with other anxiety disorders as well. For example, people who suffer from phobias may experience panic attacks upon exposure to certain triggers. People with panic disorder often can be successfully treated with therapy and/or anti-anxiety medication or antidepressants.

Clinical depression (also called major depressive disorder, or sometimes unipolar when compared with bipolar disorder) is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. Although a low mood or state of dejection that does not affect functioning is often colloquially referred to as depression, clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis and may be different from the everyday meaning of "being depressed." Many people identify the feeling of being depressed as "feeling sad for no reason", or "having no motivation to do anything." One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and sometimes substance abuse.

Without careful assessment, delirium can easily be confused with depression and a number of other psychiatric disorders because many of the signs and symptoms are conditions present in depression, as well as other mental illnesses including dementia and psychosis
