Hi, I suffer panic attacks also, and I know what you mean about being on all the different medications!. I have been on medication for 10 years now, and I thought they were'nt helping me either, until I decided I was'nt going to take them anymore!. That is when I realised that,although they did'nt cure my panic attacks, they were definately helping in the severness of them!. I ended up like a raving lunatic, and so I ended up going back on my medication!. It does help, it just does'nt cure them if that makes any sense!. So I guess what I am saying is, it is better to be on medication where you can at least have some control over them, than come off your medication and having no control!. It may just be that you have'nt been given the correct medication for you, as everyone is different, and everyone's body reacts differently to medications!. I think you should go to your doctor and tell him how you feel, and that you would like to be tested to see what type of medication is going to work for you!. It's a case of trying a lot of different one's until eventually you get the correct one!. I hope this will help, I know it is'nt easy but keep your chin up and you will get this sorted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I sypathize because I take anti anxiety meds as well and some did me no good!.!. maybe your doctor has to find out what works best for you!.!. it took 2 years before I found out that the only that helps me is Clonazepam or also called Rivotril!.!. but i have generalized anxiety not panic attacks but I get physical pain and Clonazepam is the only anti anxiety drug that masks my pain!.!. no medication will ever get rid of the problem!.!. better would be a therapy to find out the reason for the panick attacks you suffer!.!.!. for that you would need a good and decicated psychiatrist!.!. sadly they prefer they often prefer to hand out medication instead of offering a helpful therapy that might find the root of the problem and the panick attacks would end for good!.!.
I wish you the best!.!. take care and don't give up hope xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hi!. First of all realize you are not alone!. Life can be fine and then all the sudden the bottom falls out!. It has taken my sister a long time to find meds that work for her!. She has VERY SEVERE panic attacks and anxiety/depression, etc!. Don 't stop or start meds w/o your doctors help, tho - you can get really screwed up!. My best advice would be to call your doctor and let him know you need to meet asap and tell him the story!. if it is more severe and can't wait go to the hospital your doc works out of!. They have outpatient programs to help get your meds right and to get you back on your feet!. I wish there was an easier way, but this is the best I know!. If you have a friend it really helps to have somebody to talk to - I know it is hard to be social with the anxiety!. I am so sorry you are going through this!. <<prayers>>Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't think it's a good idea to follow the advice you get online after providing very little information about your current condition!. The advisors might not have any educational background in medicine or related fields!.
Why don't you go to see different doctors!? You might be able to get new/different opinions from different doctors and hopefully you will find the advice that you feel best for yourself!.
Good luck and take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It takes trial and error when it comes to finding the right medication or combination of medications!. It took 3 years for me to find the right "cocktail"!. Give it time and be patient!. I'm sure they will find the one that works for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I instead of looking inward and medicating yourself look at the people and situations around you!. Work on changing what makes you anxious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
