I have awful panic attacks from anxiety--how can i stop these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic and meds: The best approach is medication such as ssris (ex:prozac, lexapro) and initial use of benzodiazepines such as xanax (alprazolam) or Klonopin to stop the panic and later as needed (rescue) along with cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt).
