The most effective way to control panic/anxiety disorder is a method called cognitive therapy. Combined with healthy diet and exercise, cognitive therapy can overcome many mental disorders including major depressive disorder (aka clinical depression).

There are several ways to control them. First make up your mind you're not going to live in the fear of having a panic attack. Try meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, thought stopping practices, exercise and as crazy as it sounds, actually bring one on. When you do that you can recognize certain triggers and stages that you can learn to work with and cut off before it becomes a full blown attack. Rational reasonong and talking oneself through it does some good too. Like you've had this happen before and aren't going to die from it.
Try 5 htp, 50-100mg 2-3 x daily, calcium and magnesium, GABA, 500mg 2-3x daily between meals, Valerian is a strong nerve relaxer, Ashwagandha helps balance the stress hormone levels and reduce tension, take 2,000-3,000 mg daily, Chromium balances blood sugar levels, (imbalances can lead to panic attacks). There are homeopathic remedies that work quickly and well too. Bach's Rescue Remedy and Hyland's Calms Forte.
