I have been suffering from panic attacks for about 10 years now. Medication does not help much. I had a ct scan for another problem about 5 years ago which showed that I was actually missing part of my brain. I can only remember that it was somewhere near the base of the brain. Could there be a relationship between this anomaly and my panic attacks. Please, no guessing.
…and no there is nothing wrong with my thyroid…and again, please, no guessing just definite answers.

I don’t know exactly what it is, but from reading and researching, I think it is what you all called panic attack and it happened to me quite often lately. I sometimes just sat and thought of something and that all it took, I started to panic and my body started to get hot and sweaty. So weird and very scary. It’s like whatever I thought of, trying to take control of my body and my mind. Like the other day, I was in the dentist office, after getting the shot, my body started to shake and I panic. I felt like I was going to die. I had to go to the bathroom and calmed myself down. Or sometimes even a simple thing like thinking about my breaking up and not being able to see my girlfriend anymore… But what would happen if I couldn’t calm myself down ? Is this condition related to not being fit (lack of endorphine)? Is this normal, I mean, does it happen to everyone? What is the best way to deal with it, because I don’t like to depend on medication if I can help it. Please help !

I have been taking zoloft for about 1 year for panic attacks and depression. I had been feeling great again. About 2 weeks after i switched from the name brand zoloft to the generic brand I started feeling anxious and nervous again and had 2 panic attacks for no apparant reason. I was becoming more tired and irritable, more than usual. They only thing I could think of was the switch in medications. I thought those days of anxiety and panic were over. Please help.

i’v been cutting down on my meds for panic attacks for about 3 months now. Since then I’ve had a few panic episodes. Should I continue it on my low dose or should I go back to a higher dose? I REALLY WANT TO STOP TAKING THEM. I’v been exercising and eating well. I was hopping that by lifting weights and learning how to relax they would just go away.
John S asked:
I work at a call center and I answer the phone and deal with customers. I have started to have lots of panic attacks lately. I have visited with a doctor and was prescribed some medication. What can I do to stop a panic attack from occurring, also what can I do during a panic attack to stop it?
