I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. Have you tried therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy? Many have found this successful. Prescription drugs are definitely not something you want to take indefinitely, as the side effects are horrible and the drug starts to wear off after a while. I was on paxil, and it made me feel worse. You can try herbs such as GABA or 5HTP. Just get them from a health food store. I used panic away to get rid of my panic attacks. its a system created by joe barry, a former panic attack sufferer. Here is a reference to check out. http://www.panicawayscam.com
