well i have been haveing this panic episodes for the past couple of years, they are very few far between, like once every month or two, if that. but when they happen its absolutly the worst thing in the world, i get a very accelerated heart rate, which continues for about 10min and then i have a complete emotional breakdown for like a half an hour. my doctor didnt really diagnose me with anything... all i was told was to take .5 mg of ativan when i felt an attck coming on! does anyone out there have this problem, or know what my problem could be caused by??????

my b/f gets panic attacks and and had to go to the hospital because of them he said he had a hard time breathing felt like a heartatack (never had one of those) or something of that sort. He takes an adivan and within hr or so he feels better. Sometimes he waits before taking the adivan and says he shouldnt have waited because it never seems to pass without the pill and it takes longer to feel better. He sometimes has a bath also it seems to help him. Hope you feel better.

You need a diagnosis before they start throwing benzodiazepines at you.Ask your doctor to see a specialist and not to just try and bandade a potentially serious problem.Good luck.....Dave
