Well I dealt with panic attacks for 10 years without meds because the idea of the medication giving me yuck side effects would give me a panic attack itself!
But after I started having physical problems because of my anxiety and panic attacks, I had to start taking something so I started taking zoloft 25 milligrams for 2 months, then took zoloft 50 milligrams for about a year!. I loved the stuff it totally cured my panic problem!.
The first week taking it I would feel a little tired and woozy in the afternoons but then I was feeling like myself, just without the anxiety!.
I did gain 25 pounds on it, but that varies from person to person!. I ate way more then I should have becaused I wasnt to worried and on edge like I was before!. I also stopped exercising to!. So, its not like the zoloft alone did it!.!. I stopped eating right!.
Good Luck!.
oh and I did try taking just a ativan when I felt panicky and that didnt do anything for me!. That was when I was off the zoloft!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Commonly prescribed is Xanax!. I describe it as the "its all good pill"!. What I mean is, when I used to take it my house could be on fire and my mind would say "it's all good"!. Doctors suggest when you are having one of those moments you put it under your tongue for quicker relief!.
Addicting is the only side effect I recall!. I did not have withdrawals or any side effects on or off!.
