I have had severe panic attacks for about 10 years. I have tried every medication and therapy, read all the books. The only medicine that helps at all is xanax. I take it daily and could not function without it. I know it’s a mental thing but I can’t control them and I still have them especially in restauraunts, crowded places, standing in line somewhere, traffic. I am so tired of living with it. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you do? Are there other treatments? Hypnosis? I am so tired of it controlling my life! Thanks!
I know what you mean Cherry, I always feel safe with my cell phone. Ill take it out and look at it and I guess I know I can call someone if I have to. It’s crazy tho. The worst about having the attacks is that I know other people are looking at me and wondering what the hell is wrong with me.

started having panic attacks about 15 years ago. They have gotten worse over the years. I have been taking Xanax 1.5 mg and Zoloft 100 mg for about 8 years. I honestly could not function without the Xanax. It is a life saver! However; even with both meds I still have episodes almost everyday. I always get myself out of the situation in time tho before I have a full blown attack. I am so tired of living this way. I avoid restaurants and places that I know I might have one. I have been in therapy before but it didn’t seem to be helping. Does anyone have any advice for other treatment? I want so bad to live a normal life. I am tired of this disorder controlling me. I have even thought about hypnosis. Please help.
The problem is…I KNOW they are attacks and I KNOW there is no real anger. Believe me I have tried everything. When I start having one I tell myself that nothing bad is going to happen and there is no danger around and that its just snother stupid attack. But it doesn’t go away…it isn’t as bad but it’s still there.

I have heard of hypnosis (I don’t really want to waste my $ on that), then there is therapy/counseling (of course). Have you heard of any methods that work?
