Meds + therapy: You should see a dr. For an evaluation. Ssri meds such as zoloft, Paxil (paroxetine) ; Celexa starting at low doses on a daily basis along w/ a temporary supply of bzd meds such as Ativan or xanax for acute attacks may help. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help. Try meditation, yoga, tai chi ; other relaxation techniques in between panic attacks to help your system learn to relax.

CBT treatment: There is very good research data for cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and panic attacks. With brief treatment (usually 10-12 sessions) people have had lasting benefits. This information might be helpful. http://www.abct.org/docs/members/factsheets/panic%200707.pdf.
